Accident Recovery & Winching

What Accident Recovery Means

Accident recovery is more than just towing. It is about safely removing vehicles from dangerous or difficult situations. After a crash, your car might be in a ditch, stuck in a field, or blocking traffic. It might be damaged so badly that it cannot roll. That is where we come in.

We use specialized equipment like winches, cables, and rigging to pull vehicles out of tough spots. Our team knows how to assess the situation, plan the recovery, and execute it safely. We work carefully to avoid further damage to your vehicle and to keep everyone on the scene safe. This is skilled work that requires training, experience, and the right tools.

When You Need Accident Recovery

Accident recovery is for situations where a standard tow truck cannot help. Here are the common scenarios where we provide recovery services:

• Vehicles stuck in ditches, embankments, or soft ground
• Cars that rolled over or went off the road
• Accident scenes where the vehicle is too damaged to roll
• Vehicles stuck in snow, mud, or sand
• Cars hanging over guardrails or ledges
• Multi-vehicle accidents that require coordinated recovery

Every recovery is different, and we adapt to the situation. We bring the right equipment, assess the safest approach, and get your vehicle back on solid ground. If the car is drivable after recovery, great. If not, we load it onto our flatbed and tow it to wherever you need it to go.

How Winching Works

Winching is the process of using a powered cable to pull a vehicle. Our tow trucks are equipped with heavy-duty winches that can generate thousands of pounds of pulling force. We attach the winch cable to a secure point on your vehicle, then slowly pull it out of the problem area.

The key to safe winching is control. We do not yank or jerk the vehicle. We pull steadily, adjusting tension as needed, and we use snatch blocks and pulleys to change the angle of the pull if necessary. Our drivers are trained in proper rigging techniques, and they know how to avoid damaging your car during the recovery.

Once your vehicle is free, we inspect it for damage and decide on the next step. If it is safe to drive, you can take it from there. If it needs repair, we tow it to a shop. Either way, we make sure you and your car are in good hands.
