What is the difference between heavy duty towing and regular towing?

Heavy duty towing is designed for vehicles over 10,000 pounds (Class 3-8 vehicles) including semi-trucks, RVs, buses, and commercial equipment. These vehicles require specialized wreckers with greater weight capacity, longer booms, and reinforced towing systems that standard tow trucks don't have. Regular towing handles passenger vehicles, light trucks, and SUVs up to about 10,000 pounds. The equipment, operator training, and techniques are completely different between the two services.

How much does heavy duty towing cost in Wimberley TX?

Heavy duty towing costs vary based on vehicle size, distance, time of day, and complexity of the recovery. Factors include whether the vehicle is loaded, if winching is required, road conditions, and destination. We provide upfront estimates over the phone and work with insurance companies to help manage costs. Call us for a specific quote based on your situation.

How quickly can you respond to Highway 281 or I-35?

Our strategic Wimberley location allows us to respond to Highway 281, Highway 290, and I-35 calls rapidly.

Do you tow loaded semi-trucks?

Yes, we can tow loaded semi-trucks depending on the total weight and cargo type. We assess each situation individually to ensure safe transportation within legal weight limits.
