Not every stuck vehicle should simply be towed
A pull-out is about safely freeing the vehicle first. The recovery truck may need a suitable anchor position, safe access, sufficient working room and a clear direction of pull. Ground conditions, gradients and obstacles matter, so photographs are particularly useful.
Situations we can assess
- Cars or compatible light vehicles stuck in mud, wet grass or soft ground.
- Vehicles partially in a ditch or on an embankment where access is suitable.
- Cars hung up on a kerb, edge or minor obstruction.
- Vehicles stuck in awkward parking or restricted-access positions.
- Pull-out followed by onward recovery if the vehicle cannot continue safely.
What affects the price?
Vehicle pull-outs start from £120 for suitable straightforward jobs. More difficult situations can cost more because of winching time, access, risk, additional positioning and whether wheels are locked or the vehicle is accident damaged. We do not treat a severe ditch recovery as the same job as a car spinning its wheels on wet grass.
Photos help us quote properly
Send one wide photo showing the surrounding area, one photo showing how the vehicle is stuck, and one showing the accessible side/front/rear. If the vehicle is unstable, near live traffic or in a dangerous position, prioritise safety and follow emergency/road-authority instructions rather than approaching it for photographs.
