Tow Mater

Mater is a tow truck who befriends Lightning McQueen.

"Mater's lived in Radiator Springs his whole life. In his younger days, he used to be a real handful around town, playing pranks on everyone, tippin' tractors, saying inappropriate things at the wrong time, but luckily he's matured a lot since then."

"Mater's a good ol' boy with a big heart and the only tow truck in Radiator Springs. He run's Tow Mater's Towing and Salvage and manages the local impound lot. Though a little rusty, he has the quickest towrope in Carburetor County and is always the first to lend a helping hand. Mater sees the bright side of any situation. He's the heart and soul of Radiator Springs, and he doesn't have a mean bolt in his chassis."

"Keep an eye on Mater, he tends to take things a little too literally."
