May 6, 2023
Matt reports a Jeep was ‘taking a bath’ on the Horseshoe Bend area of the Pipeline Road.
Jaymie tags along expecting a super exciting recovery.
“I had to come see.”
IT’S A TIGHT SQUEEZE GETTING OUT THERE IN THE WRECKER
Tom is on the left, Matt’s in the middle and Jaymie is in the driver’s seat; Lizzie is OUTSIDE ON THE TOOLBOX.
Jaymie gets “a little frisky on the throttle.”
She calls out – “You OK Lizzie?”
Tom pipes up “I don’t think you could throw Lizzie if you wanted to.”
“THIS THING IS BURIED UP TO THE WINDOWS IN WATER”
The customer sent Matt a picture. “It looks bad.”
Rhett follows in a support vehicle, wearing swimming trunks – ready to get in the water and hook it up.
“It’s cold!”
‘HOW DID IT HAPPEN?’
“My grandson said, ‘Drive it in the water Grandpa!’ I thought ‘That’s 16” deep … it was closer to 16 feet!”
“Someone already tried to kinetic it out, broke the back window and the light.”
Compared to a similar incident, Matt declares “George, somebody’s outdone ya I think! This is deeper!”
Rhett and Tom endure a soggy ride back to the yard.
Climbing a hill, Tom notes “The Morrvair would have struggled on that, but the wrecker just crawls up this stuff.”
Matt slips away for a ‘hair appointment’ as his crew handles another recovery.

One viewer writes “I don’t think there are any words to describe how versatile that wrecker is. It’s amazing.”
Another says “Matt’s gone Hollywood on us! Misses a recovery because of a ‘hair appointment.’”
