Frequently asked questions

Can you pull me out without damaging the vehicle?

We rig to proper recovery points and use controlled winching. Recovery always carries some risk of damage, and we will talk you through it before we start.

What if I am stuck in water?

Do not start the engine. Call (813) 397-7632, tell us how deep it is, and we will recover it. A flooded engine should not be run.

Do you recover trucks and trailers?

We handle light and medium-duty vehicles. Call with the details of your vehicle and trailer and we will tell you what is possible.

How much does a recovery cost?

Recovery is priced on the situation, the vehicle and how stuck it is. Call with the details and we will quote the job before we dispatch.

Can you recover a vehicle that is fully submerged?

Call us and describe where it is and how deep. Do not try to start the engine, and we will tell you what the recovery involves.

Do you recover vehicles from off-road?

Yes. We recover from mud, sand, grass and soft ground, as well as ditches and embankments. Tell us where you are and what the vehicle is.

Can you recover a car that rolled off the road?

Often, yes. Tell us how far it went and what it landed on. An embankment or a ditch changes the rigging, so describe the scene or send a photo when you call.

Can you pull me out of beach sand?

We can recover vehicles from sand, though soft ground and water make it harder. Call with your location and what the ground is like. Do not keep spinning the wheels, which digs you deeper.

Should I stay in the vehicle while you winch?

Stay put until we tell you otherwise. It is usually safer inside than standing near a loaded winch line. We will direct you once we arrive and set up the recovery.

What if the vehicle is on its side or upside down?

Call us and keep clear. A rolled vehicle needs careful rigging to avoid more damage or injury. Tell us the position and whether anyone is still inside, and call 911 if anyone is hurt.

What makes a recovery harder?

Soft ground, water, steep angles and heavy vehicles all add difficulty. Where the vehicle is stuck matters as much as what it is, so describe the spot when you call for a quote.

Can you recover a stuck trailer or equipment?

We handle light and medium-duty vehicles, and that can include a trailer in some cases. Call with the weight and the situation and we will tell you what is possible.
