Blanco
Wimberley Towing keeps a yard at 174 Koch Road in Blanco, TX. Most wreckers running US 281 are dispatched from San Antonio or Austin, which means a long drive before the work starts. Ours is already on the corridor.
Blanco is a small town on a big road, and that combination is what makes a local yard worth having.
The roads that produce the calls
US 281 is the artery. It runs north to Johnson City and Round Mountain and south toward Spring Branch and San Antonio, and it carries a lot of freight for a two lane highway. Shoulders are narrow, the gaps between exits are long, and the grades punish a loaded trailer. Ranch Road 32 and Ranch Road 165 bring the back country traffic in, and the county roads out to the ranches are caliche, which turns to grease when it rains.
The Blanco River and the low water crossings around it produce their own recoveries, particularly after a storm.
What we get called for here
- Heavy duty on 281: semis, loaded trailers, and RVs. There is a page just for heavy duty towing on US 281 in Blanco County.
- Winch-outs and recovery: caliche, ranch roads, and river crossings. See off-road recovery.
- Roadside: a long way between services out here, which makes fuel delivery a genuine call. See roadside assistance.
- Medium duty work trucks: ranch and utility rigs. See medium duty towing.
What it costs
