Wrecker service in Laredo, TX

In Laredo a tow truck is a wrecker, and not every wrecker is right for every vehicle. Tell us what you drive and what happened, and the right truck comes with the price quoted first.

Call (956) 654-3451 Say what you drive and where it sits

Which wrecker your vehicle needs

Flatbed (rollback). The whole vehicle rides on the bed, no wheels on the road. The right call for all-wheel drive and most four-wheel drive vehicles, low sports cars, anything that will not roll or steer, and motorcycles. Most all-wheel-drive makers say in the owner's manual to tow with all four wheels off the ground.
Wheel-lift. Lifts one end by the wheels and the car rolls on the other two. Fine for many front-wheel or rear-wheel drive cars that roll freely, and handy in tight parking lots and apartment lots where a flatbed cannot swing.
Heavy wrecker. Box trucks, big RVs, and anything past the size of a work pickup. That is a different class of truck. Describe it on the call and you get a straight yes or no, not a guess.

You do not have to know any of this. Tell dispatch the year, make and model, and the right truck gets sent.

What to tell dispatch

Where you are. A cross street, a landmark like Mall del Norte or TAMIU, an I-35 exit number, or a pin drop.
What you drive, and whether it is all-wheel drive or 4x4 if you know.
Whether it rolls and steers. A car stuck in park with no key, or with a locked wheel, needs a flatbed and extra gear, and that changes the quote.
Where it is going. Your shop, your house, or a dealer. You pick, not us.

Where the wrecker takes your car

Your vehicle goes where you say. Your own mechanic, your driveway, or the dealer that holds your warranty. After a crash, the same rule holds: you choose the shop. A wrecker that shows up at a scene uncalled and pushes you toward a particular yard is a warning sign, not a favor.

You always get the price before a truck rolls. Tell us where you are and what happened, and the quote comes back on the same call. There is no charge to ask.

Common questions

Is a wrecker the same thing as a tow truck?

Yes. Wrecker is the older word and it is still what most people in Laredo call a tow truck. Flatbeds, wheel-lifts, and heavy wreckers are all kinds of wreckers.

Do I need a flatbed?

If your vehicle is all-wheel drive, most 4x4s, lowered, or will not roll, yes. Tell us what you drive and dispatch sends the right one.

Can you tow a car that is locked in park with no key?

Usually yes, with a flatbed and wheel skates. Mention it on the call because it takes extra equipment and time.

Do you do heavy wrecker work for semis?

Heavy-duty recovery for tractor trailers is a different class of truck. Call and describe it, and you get a straight yes or no plus a quote.
