Winch-Out Recovery for Stuck Vehicles in Calgary
Slid off an icy road into a ditch? Buried in a snowbank in a back alley? Sunk into a muddy field or a soft campsite after a chinook thaw? A tow truck with a winch pulls your vehicle back onto solid ground with a steel cable, under control and without the guesswork. We handle winch-outs across Calgary and the surrounding area, on Deerfoot and Stoney Trail shoulders, rural roads, acreages, and job sites, as part of our roadside assistance.
Got your vehicle in a tricky situation? If you find yourself off the road or in a ditch, a tow truck with a winching cable can get you back on the road faster and cheaper than a full tow. We provide incredible service so your recovery is as smooth and easy as possible.

Why Choose a Tow Truck With a Winch
Winching is cheaper and faster than a full tow, so when we can offer it, customers are very happy. If your vehicle is still safe to drive once it is back on the road, we always recommend you simply drive it to your mechanic. If you do not feel safe, we can tow it to the garage you choose.
It is tempting to gun it, but spinning your tires usually just digs you in deeper, and forcing it can damage your transmission, drivetrain, or suspension. Rocking a heavy vehicle or being yanked by a friend with the wrong strap can bend body panels or snap a tow point. A proper winch-out uses the right anchor, angle, and steady pull to protect your vehicle.
Snow, Mud and Ditch Recovery in Calgary
Snow and mud behave differently. Packed snow around the tires can sometimes be cleared, but a vehicle that has slid down a ditch or sunk into mud keeps settling and needs a controlled pull. Our team pulls cars out of mud and off curbs with special tow trucks designed to get vehicles of all sizes back on the road.
We recover cars, SUVs, and trucks from ditches, medians, snowbanks, and fields, and if the vehicle was damaged on the way in, our accident recovery team can take over.

All Vehicles Welcome
SUVs, trucks, vans, and cars are all eligible for our winching service. We have the right equipment and anchor points for different weights and situations, so we can match the recovery to your vehicle.
When a Winch-Out Becomes a Tow
If your vehicle comes out with a flat, a bent wheel, or other damage, we can load it on a flatbed tow truck and take it to your shop. Larger trucks, RVs, and equipment that are badly stuck may call for our heavy duty towing and recovery.
