Central Texas is called Flash Flood Alley for a reason. A heavy storm can turn a dirt road, a job site or a field into thick mud in no time. Drivers end up in ditches along rural roads, sunk in soft shoulders off RM 620 or stuck on a ranch road out past Dripping Springs. Spinning your tires usually just digs you in deeper.
M&A Towing uses a winch and recovery straps to pull your vehicle back to solid ground with as little stress on it as possible. We handle cars, pickups, SUVs and work vehicles across the Austin metro. Once you're out, we look it over with you. If it can't be driven, we can tow it to a shop or your home. Call any time for a real ETA and the price before we start.
What we handle
Mud and soft ground
Rain-soaked dirt roads, job sites, yards and pastures. We pull you back to firm ground.
Ditches and embankments
Slid off the road? We winch the vehicle back up and onto the pavement.
Curbs and high-centers
Hung up on a curb, rock or median? We work it free with care.
After a flood
Once the water goes down, we recover cars left in low spots and tow them in to be checked.
While you wait
- Stop spinning your tires, since it digs you in deeper and can overheat the transmission.
- Never drive into water covering a road, since even shallow moving water can sweep a car away.
- If floodwater reached your engine, don't try to start it, because that can cause serious damage.
Winch-Outs & Recovery questions
Can you pull my truck out of the mud?
Yes. We winch cars, pickups and SUVs out of mud, sand and soft ground around Austin. Tell us how far off the road you are and how stuck it is when you call.
Will a winch-out damage my car?
We attach to solid recovery points and pull slowly to keep stress off the frame and bumpers. Let us know about any damage you already see.
Can you recover a car that was in a flood?
Yes, once the water has gone down and it's safe to reach. Don't try to start it. We can tow it to a shop or wherever your insurance company asks.
