In ''[[Cars 2]]'', he breaks down on the way to Radiator Springs, having done so nine times before in the same month, but this time only halfway to the county line. He is towed by [[Mater]] for the rest of the journey to be taken to [[Ramone]] for repair, feeling glad that at least one car respects lemons like him. However, when Mater sees that [[Lightning McQueen]] has returned from winning the [[Piston Cup Racing Series|Piston Cup]], he forgets that he is still towing Otis as he quickly heads over to greet McQueen, causing Otis to get scraped against the road as he goes. At the moment Mater finally stops, Otis is inadvertently let go straight into [[Ramone's House of Body Art]], where Ramone is waiting for him.

At the end of the film, Otis has broken down again, but Mater, with a pair of rockets that [[Finn McMissile]] and [[Holley Shiftwell]] gave him, tows him all the way to Ramone's House of Body Art at a high speed.

*''Otis is no stranger to the tow hook in Radiator Springs. He's broken down more times than Mater's cousin [[Betsy]] after he got left at the altar. He's an old jalopy who wasn't quite up to snuff even when he left the factory, and life's been a challenge ever since. New parts are not available, and he's reached the limit on his roadside service card. In fact, Ramone has repaired him almost weekly for the past few months. Poor Otis just wants to spend some time on the open road ... trouble free.''
