Winch-Out & Recovery

Help getting out of mud, a ditch, soft shoulder or snow without stressing the drivetrain.

A wheel slipping off a soft shoulder or into a muddy ditch is common after storms. EVs are heavy and their instant torque can dig a car deeper. Winch-out recovery pulls the vehicle back to solid ground using appropriate attachment points.

How it works

  1. 1

    Describe the position

    Which wheels are stuck and what surface you are on.

  2. 2

    Assess on site

    We check attachment points and safety.

  3. 3

    Recover or tow

    Winch to solid ground, or arrange a flatbed if needed.

When to call us

  • Stuck in mud, sand or snow
  • A wheel is off the pavement edge
  • The car is in a shallow ditch

Avoid spinning the wheels

Repeated acceleration can overheat components and dig ruts. Stop, stay safe and call.
