Stuck does not mean you have to solve it yourself
Winch-outs in Sudbury. Get help out of the ditch.
A snowbank, ditch or soft shoulder can leave you worried about making the damage worse. Describe the scene and your vehicle. We will assess access and plan a controlled recovery with suitable equipment.
249-444-0164Take the strain off you and your vehicle
Spinning the tires or pulling from the wrong point can make a bad situation worse. We assess the vehicle position, ground and recovery points before setting up the winch. Tell us how far it is from the road and whether anyone is injured.
The right plan depends on the ground
Deep snow, mud, slopes and narrow camp roads all change the recovery. Photos and a clear location can help dispatch understand the job. Access must be safe for the truck as well as your vehicle.
Out of the ditch is only the first step
After recovery, visible damage or a steering, brake or wheel concern may mean the vehicle should not be driven. We can discuss towing it to a mechanic rather than leaving you to make another difficult trip.

Questions people ask
Can you reach a vehicle on a camp road?
Tell us the road condition, width, surface and distance from a maintained road. Recovery depends on safe truck access and winch reach; availability must be confirmed.
Will you pull from my bumper?
The operator assesses suitable recovery points and equipment. Do not attach a rope or strap to a bumper or an unverified point yourself.
Can you quote a ditch recovery over the phone?
We can discuss the likely work from your description and photos. Depth, position, ground and equipment affect the price, and an on-site assessment may be needed.
Can I drive away after being winched out?
Only if the vehicle is safe to drive. Tell the operator about impacts, warning lights or steering and brake problems. A mechanic may need to inspect it, and a tow may be appropriate.
What should I tell dispatch?
Give the location, vehicle, direction it is facing, distance from the road, ground conditions and any visible damage. Mention traffic, power lines, injuries or other hazards immediately.
