South Austin
Wimberley Towing covers South and Southwest Austin, TX. That means Oak Hill, the 290 and 71 corridor, and the southwest side that runs out toward Dripping Springs and Buda. It does not mean central, east, or north Austin, and we would rather say that plainly than send a truck an hour across town.
If you are downtown or north of the river, you want a company based up there. If you are on the southwest side, we are probably closer than they are.
The roads that produce the calls
The 290 and 71 split at Oak Hill is the busiest piece of this for us, and it is where the corridor traffic from the Hill Country meets the metro. Highway 71 out toward Bee Cave, William Cannon and Slaughter Lane on the south side, and the I-35 southbound run down toward Buda fill in the rest.
A lot of our Austin work is people who live out our way and broke down on the way in, or people heading out to the Hill Country who did not make it.
What we get called for here
- Commuter breakdowns on 290 and 71: heavy traffic, and a genuinely bad place to sit.
- Roadside: batteries and flats, most of which do not need a tow. See roadside assistance.
- Specialty and exotic cars: the southwest side has plenty, and they go on a deck only. See specialty car towing.
- Heavy and commercial: on the 290 corridor. See heavy duty towing.
What it costs
Police authorized rates depend on the agency that ordered the tow. Everything else gets an estimate from dispatch before we roll. See towing rates, and call (512) 375-1215.
