Our Story
A Family Built on Helping Others
Grit & Gear Recovery was founded in 2026 from a dream that had been growing for years. My husband has always been the kind of person who pulls over to help stranded motorists — whether it was changing a tire, giving someone a jump start, or helping recover a vehicle that was stuck. Helping others has never been just something he does — it has always been part of who he is.
That passion became the foundation of Grit & Gear Recovery. His dream was to build a business dedicated to providing honest, dependable roadside assistance and off-road recovery while treating every customer like family. More than just creating a business, he wanted to build a legacy that could one day be passed on to our children — teaching them the value of hard work, compassion, and serving others.
Today, we're proud to turn that dream into reality by providing reliable recovery and roadside services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Every call we answer is an opportunity to help someone through a stressful moment, and we never take that responsibility lightly.
At Grit & Gear Recovery, you're more than a customer — you're part of the community we proudly serve. Thank you for trusting our family to help yours when you need it most.
