Winch-Out & Recovery in Austin, TX

When You Need a Winch-Out

• Slid into a ditch on a wet road.
• Stuck in mud on a trail or unpaved road near Lake Travis.
• Sunk in a field, gravel lot or job site after rain.
• A boat trailer stuck at a lake ramp.
• Wheels spinning in sand or soft ground.

Stop Spinning the Tires

Spinning the tires digs a hole under each wheel and can overheat the transmission. Once you are stuck, take your foot off the gas, turn on your hazards and call.

How We Pull It Out

We set the truck up on solid ground and run the winch cable out to your vehicle. We attach to recovery points or the frame, never a strap on the bumper, and pull slowly until all four wheels are on firm ground. A winch truck can often reach a vehicle that is well off the road.

Central Texas Storms Move Fast

Heavy rain can turn low-water crossings and unpaved roads dangerous in minutes. If a road is flooded, turn around and do not drive into it. If you are stuck and water is rising, get out and get to higher ground first.

After the Recovery

Most vehicles are drivable once they are out. If something was damaged, we can load it on a flatbed on the same call. Big trucks stuck off the road are a heavy duty job.
