schleppen can have different but similar meanings
for example: "Ich schleppte die Einkäufe nachhause" - it just means to carry but implies that the groceries are heavy and that it's tiring. it can also mean to tow or to drag.
but "abschleppen" is more commonly used with the meaning to tow. for example "Mein Auto musste abgeschleppt werden."
however, abschleppen can also mean to hook sb. up
i hope this helps
