Vehicle recovery and winch-outs

In the ditch, in the mud, off the bank or stuck up a steep drive. Getting it back on solid ground is what we do.

Mountain country means recovery work

Around the Peaks of Otter, the Blue Ridge Parkway and Botetourt's back roads, vehicles end up in places a normal tow truck can't reach. Our wrecker has the winches and the reach to pull them out carefully.

Careful, not just strong

A good recovery is one that doesn't add more damage. We look at how the vehicle is sitting, set our rigging and pull it out slow. Then it either drives away or goes on the truck.

When to call

If you've slid off the road, sunk into a soft shoulder, got stuck in a field or can't get up a slick driveway, stop spinning the tires. That usually digs you in deeper. Call us and tell us how it's sitting.

Common recovery calls

  • Slid into a ditch
  • Stuck in mud or a soft shoulder
  • Snow and ice
  • Off an embankment
  • Steep or gravel driveways
