Can't get it here?

Local vehicle pickup may be available.

McElroy owns a rollback and can arrange pickup from some local homes and locations when a vehicle is not drivable or getting it to the shop is not practical.

Pickup is a paid service. Availability and cost depend on the vehicle, location, timing and situation. McElroy is not a 24-hour towing or emergency recovery service.
