Typical jobs around Cardup
Cardup is a small community, with most of its people living on rural-residential lots of a few acres or more. The calls we get here reflect that. Utes and 4WDs bogged in soft paddocks after winter rain, farm and hobby vehicles that need moving to a mechanic, horse floats that break down on the way to an event, and older cars that have been sitting in a shed and need a tilt tray. Long gravel driveways and narrow gates are part of most pickups.
South Western Highway is the other source of work. It runs through Cardup on its way between Byford and Mundijong, and it carries a mix of locals, freight and holiday traffic heading south. Crashes and breakdowns on the highway are handled as accident towing or breakdown jobs, with insurer billing available.
The Cardup Business Park, between Cardup Siding Road and Norman Road on the western side of the highway, adds trade vehicles, vans and the odd heavier move.
