What is the name of Mater's hometown in Pixar's Cars movies?

Radiator Springs is Mater's hometown in Pixar's Cars movies.

Mater is the rusty tow truck who lives in Radiator Springs, the fictional desert community at the heart of the Cars franchise. He meets Lightning McQueen after Lightning is separated from his transport truck and accidentally damages the town's main road.

The town's residents include Sally Carrera, Doc Hudson, Luigi, Guido, Fillmore, and Sarge. Mater's friendship with Lightning becomes one of the franchise's central relationships, and his comic personality is especially prominent in Cars 2.

Radiator Springs is located in the fictional Carburetor County. Its name is not the same as the county name, and it should not be confused with Wheel Well, a separate location in Cars 2. The town's identity is closely tied to Route 66 and to the decline of roadside communities after interstate construction.
