Meet The Frosty Team
Alex (Frosty) Carter
Mr. Owner
Alex Carter has been exploring further and further into the Eastern Sierra for over a decade. His favorite place is the Rubicon Trial just outside of Lake Tahoe. It was only recently that Alex discovered he can use his exemplary rigging and recovery skills to calmly help people through some of their most stressful moments involving a vehicle. Alex does all his own wrenching and maintenance, which there is plenty of with trucks older than he is.
Alex might be part dog.
Jena Carter
Mrs. Owner
Jena Carter grew up playing in the dirt and snow so she is most comfortable outside somewhere getting filthy and using her hands. Jena enjoys spotting vehicles through precarious situations and usually has a camera in her hand, documenting anything and everything. Jena works hard to make sure everyone is safe and happy so go ahead and ask her if you can have a water bottle or sticker.
Jena really likes dogs.
Maple-Bean
The Recover-collie
Maple has been on every single recovery since she was 6 weeks old. She knows a thing or two about kinetic energy and closed loop recovery systems. Maple is our quality control, she will let us know when we need to do it better. Maple has 2 pitbulls at home that complete her pack but they don't get to come on recoveries like she does.
Maple is a really good dog.
Frosty 4Wheeler started as a passion with over 20 years of experience and became a full time job January 1, 2021. We are locally owned and operated out of Mammoth Lakes, California, serving the entire Eastern Sierra.
We started this business because we noticed more and more traffic on our favorite trails and more people asking for help off-road. Not everyone has access to off-road support groups and rescue forums and not everyone has the luxury of waiting hours for a "good Samaritan" to show up and save the day while passing by. We decided this had to change and no one was going to abandon their car for a season if we had anything to do with it. We operate year round, 24 hours a day because we know accidents and errors don't take time off and happen all the time.
We are a husband and wife team, Jena and Alex Carter, and we have been off-roading and exploring the Eastern Sierra area for over a decade with our dogs and 4x4's. We know a thing or two about getting stuck and un-stuck and we have also had our fair share of trail breaks and repairs so don't hesitate to give us a call the next time you find yourself in a sticky situation. Our service area includes all of Mono County, from Benton to the Sonora Pass. We operate out of Mammoth Lakes California which is usually within an hour from most of our calls.
We want visitors and locals alike to use our professional services when they get stuck so they aren’t tearing up the trails and lake beds without the proper equipment. We also want to prevent people from getting desperate and potentially hurting themselves or their vehicles trying to get back to camp or home. We carry all the necessary equipment and haven’t had a job too tough for us yet! #FROSTED
Thank you for visiting our website and for supporting small businesses like ours.

Our Services
Off-Road Vehicle Recovery:
Towing & Winching
No tow points? No problem, we have a bridle and a MasterPull Mini Mac that makes it so we can safely connect to any vehicle. We use kinetic ropes and soft shackles to ensure no further damage occurs trying to rescue you.
We have all the equipment needed to get your vehicle un-stuck any circumstance whether you're in mud, dirt, sand, snow, water or ice, there isn't a job too tough for Frosty 4Wheeler.
Roadside Assistance
Secondary to vehicle recoveries, we offer limited road-side assistance. If we become too busy with back to back recoveries, we stop offering road-side assistance so we can better serve customers that are stranded or need recovering.
Frosty 4Wheeler is committed to getting the job done any time of day. From jumpstarts at 2:00am to a tire change at lunch time and everything in-between, call us and we will be there with our tools and experience.
Part Delivery
Broken down on the trail or at your campsite and need a part? Call us and we will help make arrangements to deliver the part straight to you, wherever you are.
You just pay for the part over the phone directly with the retailer and we will drive it to you, anytime of day. We can even bring you water if needed, just let us know!
