You are really good at this. I have experience as an offroader. I watch intently at all your moves. There are very few times I was like' I would do this instead". I think you and I would work well in any recovery situation. Great job!

I’ve set my wireless remote down and almost lost several times. Now I wear a web belt with a ditty bag on it whenever I’m winching and if I don’t have the remote in my hand it’s in the ditty bag. Lol
I worked for a delivery company and used Google maps to navigate. I quickly learned that if you think you should stop, take a look and even walk the road a ways, you’re best to do it. Google would instruct me to go down old tractor trails, and old logging roads. 😂.
These "new" cars are so delicate that it is impractical. They suffer from RPN when they are recovered vs a vehicle from the 70s or older. Rapid Parts Necrosis.
Huh? If you hook up to the correct part of the vehicle you don't damage anything from a tow. Frames on new cars are no worse than anything made in the past. Just use an oil spray for corrosion and you'll be mostly fine. Everything gets very heavily tested and refined. Yes, they make mistakes. But they made mistakes then also.
they didn't want to get their truck stuck and they didn't want to risk damaging the car so they walked away. they probably had a truck with road tires on it.
@@Williamxmr They could have done it with one snatch block and one sling, if you don't have that on your truck, you are a joke. How do they recover wrecks with no equipment? Just to be on towing rotation there is a minimum equipment list
Great video Matt. You make it look easy - that's the benefit of all that knowledge I guess. That was an expensive learning experience for that young kid, glad you recovered his car with no damage.
I've been roaming the woods for many years I found many trails like that and sometimes the best thing is to just turn around don't even go down them because they literally just dead ends of nowhere
I know back when I was towing In jacksonville I wouldn't go off road Mt wheel left was not 4x4 and the flat bed was to cumbersome to take down trails like that
@@patrickreis9441 yep. most wont go down gravel driveways if the tree limbs are hanging too low. these offroad wreckers here on youtube are the only ones I've seen go off road, they do because others will not.
Greetings from Pontassieve, province of Florence, Italy. I have a Suzuki Jimmy 4x4 with a 1.3 LT m13a gasoline engine from 2001, all original, which I use to go to the countryside and the forest and the mountains on agricultural and forest roads.
Lucky he didn't catch that organic material on fire. I've seen a lot of cars burn up like that. Almost lost an s10 on the farm like that. I was able to get it under control before it got out of hand.
Very good job Matt that car still looks clean and undamaged underside maybe different story don't know what that pizza delivery dude was thinking driving there
Another nice recovery, but I’m assuming this was an old one because the white car had Florida plates and you were not in the car being recovered I know as of recent you don’t let anybody steer the recovered vehicle but you.
Yes this was right before we moved We found a few jobs on the hard drive we never made videos of This one was in January and we moved the end of February
@@matt.mckinzie Smart move not letting the customer drive the car now. I can't tell you how many times I've had them suddenly go crazy and start beating on the car or truck making things 10 times worse and damaging stuff
I’m gonna guess that was a Florida driveway. The white car had Florida tags. The chances of him moving from Florida to Arkansas to deliver pizzas is kind of slim.
The rear winch is a couple feet in from rear bumper and that itself helps keep rope centered But we do pull it out and rewind it to recenter it as well
I think those gen Z whippersnappers need to exercise common sense. Where I live kids drive into woods intentionally or get themselves stuck intentionally while mudding and stuff (central agricultural part of florida south of I-4). But thats with a 4x4 and a lifted truck and there is tons of horrible tasting beer involved while trying to impress girls to go frog gigging or something. Welp this kid here learned their lesson (I hope).
I got stuck on a power line Trail a couple years ago and guess what I go looking for help and find somebody to come out there to get me I find some random person at a gas station they come out there to help me and guess what they get stuck they called tow truck tow truck gets them and then just leaves me and water up to my waist make a careless they wanted to charge me $150 and literally it was a 6-inch pool and I would have been out
Technology has made people so lazy ! Common sense tells you not to drive down there or at least it should ! I've delivered furniture to customers for 30 years ! Always call the customer to confirm that you are going in the right direction !
Rule number 1. Your gps will lie to you. You need to ask yourself, do people really drive this road daily. No. Then perhaps you aren't where you belong.

Wrecker Company: 'There's no way to get that car out!!'
Matt: 'Challenge accepted!! Hold my beer and get out of the way!'

All that wrecker companies now want to do is easy jobs, like pull someone parked illegally in a handicap parking spot.

Cool calm and collected as usual, no drama just getting the job done.
Man, smooth move there with the wireless winch remote! Glad to see you've got a carabiner for it so you don't misplace it somewhere.
And an air tag on it

Nah the hardest part is getting under them to hook to the control arms. 😂

I don't blame the wrecker at all. If a tow truck tried that he'd be calling you lol
he could have winched from the concrete
@@jimsmith9819 yeah as long as the customer didn’t mind smashing down some trees with his vehicle that woulda be simple
@@Williamxmr Why would they smash down trees?
@@joecummings1260 because they don’t use recovery gear. They tow cars.

Brilliant recovery, Matt!
You make everything look easy.
And the lesson we learned today is 'Don't always trust the GPS'.
New camera guy did well 👏 😊
majority of wrecker companies will not go offroad.

I’m sure you make a lot of money from GPS directions 😊 nice, smooth job as usual
Can't figure out what the HELL they were thinking going into a swamped road.
EXCELLENT job , Sir! Well thought out! from a former desert qualified tank recovery dude....
You could also use traction boards to get the car onto the concrete!?🙄
Smart thinking. 👍
I like the name Change for the channel!
People will have an easier time finding you now
Greetings from Pontassieve, province of Florence, Italy. What beautiful dirt roads there are here for driving 4x4 all-terrain vehicles.
I would love to see how you are hooking up to some of these cars and where you are finding their tow points. Good work!

i learned a long time ago that you cant believe everything the GPS tells you. btw your cameraman did a good job
you know youre in real trouble when the blinker fluid light comes on and says to call dealership immediately.
IF YOUR JEEP ISN'T DIRTY THEN IT'S A MALL CRAWLER !!!
What if we are rock crawling and there’s no mud 🥹
Pizza delivery my ass... bro was try'na find a secluded spot to blaze a bowl !!
Lucky he didn't catch that organic material on fire. I've seen a lot of cars burn up like that. Almost lost an s10 on the farm like that. I was able to get it under control before it got out of hand.
Looks pretty damp.
Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from poor judgement. I think the delivery guy just got some valuable experience.
He should be promoted to U.S. Postal service.....he was getting the job done 👍.... Great Pizza delivery Guy....
That was smoooothly done!
Crazy like you was reading my mind lol great job!
Very nice work Sir!!
Art from Ohio
Pizza man was dumb for driving in that.
Probably an inexperienced young driver.
First time watching your channel……Great job on getting that car out of there! Keep up the great work!😊😊
This is how you learn things the hard way. Today's lesson: front wheel drive economy cars are NOT GOOD off-road!
My 88 cavalier was awesome. My 2014 focus..., barely goes on gravel.
Good job as always Matt 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Expertly winched out.
Nicely done.
Such a simple job good on you.
Excellent, thanks Brother.
Well done Matt
Good job as always
Very good job Matt that car still looks clean and undamaged underside maybe different story don't know what that pizza delivery dude was thinking driving there
17 old kids do very smart things 😂
Why would someone drive back into there you can clearly see it's not a proper road or driveway.
17 year old kid
Looks like a driveway to a abandoned house deep in the forest

Good job!
im not talking sht but WHAT WERE THESE PEOPLE THINKING GOING BACK THERE IN A KIA! lmao!!!
I only have 1 question… did the customers get their pizza? 😂
That’s an Arkansas driveways 😮
I’m gonna guess that was a Florida driveway. The white car had Florida tags. The chances of him moving from Florida to Arkansas to deliver pizzas is kind of slim.
Looks like the original tow company was only interested in collecting money from easy jobs like NO PARKING ZONES tows & putting Boots on vehicles 😂 .
Wrecker probably didnt want to get stuck in the mud
Kid was frustrating the hell out of me by turning the wheel wrong way all the time..
If the gps told them to turn in there ... id sue the gps company for the price of tow and inconvenience of being eithout vehicle and damages.
The stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me
How do you keep the winch from sideloading? Or are you stopping & correct the winding?
The rear winch is a couple feet in from rear bumper and that itself helps keep rope centered
But we do pull it out and rewind it to recenter it as well
Someone drove down that sketchy road??? They must have been really young or something else.
Could have called the Kia boy’s

If it looks like a place your Kia should not go, it probably is.

Tow trucks aren't designed for off-road recovery. It appears you have a business specifically designed for it.
That was barely off road
See all the time ….
Well someone has no common sense
Why do people do that for going to a road to no where
New sub here. I like your content.
Geeze,, that's all? I've been in much worse going deer hunting. The car did not get stuck, just lost traction..
At least the kid didn’t frame it out.
Was the pizza delivered on time?
That Gladiator not only has awful mods but also sounds bad lol an XJ or even a Wrangler would do better.
Hmmm. I’m curious how they would do better.
How did that car get there
It drove itself😂
moral of the story, don't go 4 wheeling in a kia
Why do people take cars off roading? Trucks akd other vehicles that are higher off the ground I can understand but this is absurd.
Wow
Did he say the other driver 2:50
Sure did
👍👍👍👍
sorry if I missed it but that is the reason for the name change, anyone?
First off what the hell is that guy doing out there in a car..🤔🤔.
