What Happens During Pickup and Transport

When you arrange light duty towing in Abilene, the driver arrives with a truck equipped with either a wheel lift or a flatbed, depending on your vehicle type and the distance involved. The vehicle is loaded using equipment that lifts it without dragging, and straps or chains are used to hold it securely in place once it is on the truck.

After loading, your vehicle stays stable during the drive, and you will notice it arrives at the destination without new scratches, dents, or alignment issues. The driver follows a route that avoids unnecessary rough roads when possible, and the truck is driven at speeds that keep the load secure.

M & R Wrecker and Recovery handles towing for vehicles being moved to repair shops, homes, storage lots, or out-of-town locations. The service does not cover heavy-duty trucks, commercial vehicles, or specialty equipment. If your vehicle is a standard passenger car or light truck, this service will move it safely from point A to point B.
