Question 1

What is vehicle recovery and how is it different from towing?

Accepted Answer

Towing moves a vehicle that is accessible. Recovery involves extracting a vehicle from an inaccessible position, such as a ditch, embankment, mud, or accident debris, before it can be towed. Recovery requires specialized rigging, winches, and techniques that go beyond a standard tow.

Question 2

Can you recover a vehicle that went off the road?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly recover vehicles from roadside ditches, culverts, soft shoulders, and embankments along I-5, I-80, Highway 50, and surrounding surface streets. Our team assesses the safest extraction angle to avoid further damage to the vehicle.

Question 3

Do you work at accident scenes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We respond to accident scenes and work alongside law enforcement and emergency services. Our priority is safety, both for you and for other drivers. We handle everything from uprighting vehicles to extracting them from collision damage.

Question 4

How do you recover a vehicle without damaging it further?

Accepted Answer

We assess the vehicle's position and the terrain before attaching rigging. We use soft shackles, tree savers, and proper anchor points to distribute load. The goal is always to restore the vehicle to a transportable position with minimal additional contact or stress.

Question 5

What if my vehicle is stuck in mud or soft ground?

Accepted Answer

We use our high-capacity winch to pull the vehicle back to solid ground. For vehicles deeply embedded or at a difficult angle, we may use snatch blocks to redirect the pull force. Most extractions are completed in under an hour.
