San Marcos TX Towing & Roadside Assistance
24/7 towing across San Marcos — I-35, Texas State University, the Outlets, and every neighborhood from Stonefield to Willow Creek. Local, family-owned, Best of Hays 2024 winner.
San Marcos is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, and with that growth comes constant traffic on I-35, busy commercial districts around Aquarena Springs Drive and Wonder World Drive, and a Texas State student population that fills the city each fall.

As the Best of Hays 2024 Best Wrecker Service winner, we handle everything from a dead battery in the Tanger Outlets lot to a semi breakdown on I-35 at the Hays/Comal county line. Our WreckMaster-certified team knows San Marcos's roads, neighborhoods, and the unique rhythms of a university town.
