Winch-Out Service in Louisville, KY

When You Need a Winch-Out

• One or two wheels slid off the edge into a ditch.
• Tires stuck in mud or a soft shoulder after rain.
• Stuck in snow or on ice after a winter storm.
• Stuck in a yard, a field entrance or a grass parking area.

Winch-Out or Recovery?

A winch-out is for a vehicle that is close to a road or solid ground and just needs a straight pull. If it is far into a field, down a steep bank or somewhere hard to reach, that is off-road recovery, which takes more planning. Not sure which one you need? Describe it on the phone and we will tell you.

How It Works

We park the truck on solid ground, attach the winch line to a proper recovery point on your vehicle and pull it back slowly and straight. Once it is back on solid ground we check that the tires and steering look right before you drive off. If something was damaged, we can tow it instead.

Louisville Spots Where Drivers Get Stuck

Narrow country roads with soft shoulders in southern Jefferson County, ice on the hills after a winter storm, and grass parking areas at events after a rainy day are the classic ones. Spinning the wheels harder does not help, no matter how much you believe in your tires.

Stay Safe While You Wait

• Turn on your hazard lights.
• If the vehicle is tilted, get out on the high side and move well away from the road.
• Keep everyone clear of the vehicle and the winch line during the pull.
