In danger, call 000.
Templestowe Lower and Templestowe are separate suburbs in the same council area, and callers sometimes use the name interchangeably. For a roadside technician, the difference matters because it changes which map pin we are working from. This page is about telling the two apart and describing your position without relying on a suburb name that might be wrong.
Wrong-fuel removal: $449 standard — $399 total with $50 instant removal offer. Launch offer — redeem instantly when booking. Prices are totals, within 30 km of Doncaster.
The $50 instant removal offer applies only to eligible standard wrong-fuel removal within 30 km of Doncaster. No discount on fuel delivery, extra fuel, non-standard vehicles, specialist parts, towing, repairs or jobs outside coverage.
Fuel delivery unchanged: $99 up to 5L. Extra fuel is separately approved.
Two names, two suburbs
Manningham Council's suburb listing identifies Templestowe Lower and Templestowe separately. If a sign, an app, or a saved address says one and you assumed the other, mention both. A driver who says Templestowe when the pin sits in Templestowe Lower can send a technician to the wrong place.
The simplest fix is to give a street name and number or a cross street, then add the suburb as the second detail rather than the first.
Check the address, not the memory
Open the map app on your phone and read out the suburb it shows at your blue dot. Then read the street. If the suburb on the map differs from what you expected, tell us exactly what the map says.
If you are in a car park, read the full address of the centre from a sign or receipt. Do not guess; an incorrect address wastes time.
Pricing is the same either way
Both suburbs are treated the same for coverage and price within the configured 30 km area from Doncaster. Removal is $449 standard or $399 total with the $50 instant removal offer where eligible. Delivery is $99 for up to 5L.
A short script for the call
When you ring, a clear order saves time: first the street and cross street, then the suburb your map shows, then the vehicle and fuel type, then what went in and whether the engine ran. If you used the words Templestowe Lower but the sign says something different, say that too. Having a second person read the sign aloud while you speak is often faster than trying to remember details while stressed.

Right now: the first five minutes
- Engine off as soon as it is safe, and do not restart it. Hazard lights on.
- Keep everyone away from moving traffic and the pump. In danger, call 000.
- Do not drive on, drain or siphon the tank.
- Have ready: exact street or car park, vehicle, fuel type, what went in and how much.
Wrong fuel comes in two main forms. See petrol in diesel or diesel in petrol, and the core wrong fuel removal page. If the tank is simply empty, read emergency fuel delivery.
Petrol in a diesel vehicle: if you notice the mistake at the pump, keep the engine off and do not attempt to drive away or dilute the mixture. Tell us the vehicle's correct fuel, roughly how much petrol was added and whether the engine ran. If it has been driven, stop and switch off when safe; explain any symptoms without restarting to demonstrate them.
Diesel in a petrol vehicle: leave the key off and do not add petrol to try to correct it. Keep the fuel receipt if available and describe the amounts added. A car that has already been started needs that fact recorded during booking; a fuel delivery is not a substitute for assessing the wrong-fuel situation.
Empty tank, rather than wrong fuel: choose emergency fuel delivery and confirm the fuel the vehicle actually takes. The $99 total package includes up to 5L within the standard 30 km Doncaster service area. Additional litres need a separate disclosed price and your approval. Do not leave a dangerous stopping place on foot to search for fuel.

Questions
Which suburb should I say?
Say the one your map app shows, then give the street and cross street. If unsure, tell us both names and let us confirm.
Does the suburb affect the price?
No. Price depends on the job type: removal or delivery. Both are within the configured 30 km area from Doncaster.
What if my map shows a different suburb from the sign?
Read out what both say. We would rather have two descriptions than one wrong one.
What should I not do while waiting?
Do not start the car, do not drain it, and do not try to drive it to a more convenient place.
