Why Choose Tow Mesa
for Winch Out Service?
Vehicle recoveries require more than just a truck with a winch. They
require experience, problem-solving skills, and an understanding of
physics that keeps both vehicles—yours and ours—safe during the recovery
process. Improper winching can damage your vehicle’s frame, break
bumpers, shatter windows, or cause serious injury. At Tow Mesa, we do it
right.
Our winch out services handle:
- Ditch and embankment recoveries along Mesa roads
and highways - Mud and soft ground extraction at construction
sites and desert areas - Sand recoveries from washes and desert off-road
situations - Flooded area recoveries during monsoon season
- Snowbound vehicles in Arizona’s higher
elevations - Off-road recovery from trails and camping
areas - Parking lot accidents where vehicles become stuck
on curbs or obstacles
What makes Tow Mesa different? Experience matters in recovery
operations. Our operators assess each situation individually and develop
a recovery plan before attaching a single strap. They consider:
- What caused the vehicle to become stuck
- Ground conditions and stability
- Proper attachment points on your vehicle
- Angle and direction of pull for minimum stress
- Secondary risks (further sliding, rollover potential, water
hazards)
We also carry a variety of winching and recovery equipment because
not every situation calls for the same approach. Sometimes a straight
pull works. Sometimes we need snatch blocks to change the pull angle.
Sometimes we need to use our truck’s weight as an anchor while winching
from a different direction.
As a family-owned Mesa business for over 30 years, we’ve recovered
vehicles from every conceivable situation. Flash flood washes along the
Salt River, sand dunes near Apache Junction, muddy construction sites
throughout the East Valley—we’ve seen it all and gotten them all
out.
Our Winch Out Process
Every recovery operation follows a careful process:
Step 1: Situation Assessment — When you call
480-725-5862, we gather details about your situation: what kind of
vehicle, what it’s stuck in (mud, sand, ditch, water), and your exact
location. This helps us send the right equipment.
Step 2: Arrival and Inspection — Our operator
arrives and walks around the scene. They assess the ground conditions,
check for hazards, and determine the safest recovery approach.
Step 3: Recovery Planning — Before attaching
anything to your vehicle, we develop a plan. This includes identifying
strong attachment points on your vehicle, positioning our recovery
truck, and selecting appropriate equipment.
Step 4: Equipment Setup — We attach recovery straps
to proper frame points—never bumpers, never suspension components. If
needed, we set up snatch blocks to change the pull direction or multiply
force.
Step 5: Controlled Recovery — Using our winch, we
apply steady, controlled force to extract your vehicle. We work slowly
and deliberately, stopping to reassess if conditions change.
Step 6: Final Inspection — Once your vehicle is on
solid ground, we inspect it for any damage and ensure it’s drivable. If
towing is needed, we can transport it immediately.

Pricing
Winch out service rates depend on the complexity of the recovery:
- Simple recoveries (flat ground, short pull):
$75-$150 - Moderate recoveries (ditches, mild off-road):
$150-$250 - Complex recoveries (deep mud, steep embankments, remote
locations): $250-$400+ - Extreme recoveries: Custom quotes based on
equipment and time required
We provide estimates over the phone based on your description of the
situation. Upon arrival, if the recovery proves more complex than
expected, we’ll discuss updated pricing before proceeding.
Tip: The best time to call is immediately after you
become stuck. The longer a vehicle sits in mud or sand, the deeper it
often settles, making recovery more difficult and expensive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I’m stuck in mud. Will pulling on my car damage
it? A: Not when done correctly. We attach to proper frame
mounting points and apply force gradually. The key is steady, controlled
pressure—not jerking or yanking. Our operators are experienced in
damage-free recoveries.
Q: My car slid into a ditch during a rainstorm. Can you
help? A: Absolutely. Rainy-day ditch recoveries are one of our
most common calls in Mesa. We’ll winch your vehicle out carefully,
inspecting for any undercarriage damage before you drive away.
Q: Can you recover my vehicle from a wash or flood
area? A: Yes, with appropriate safety considerations. If water
is actively flowing, we wait until conditions are safe. For vehicles
stuck in receded water or dry washes, we respond immediately.
Q: I’m stuck off-road in the desert. How do I tell you my
location? A: GPS coordinates are best. You can get these from
your smartphone’s mapping app. Alternatively, describe nearby landmarks,
trail names, or provide what3words coordinates if available.
Q: Will my AWD system be damaged by winching? A:
No. Winching pulls the entire vehicle as a unit—it doesn’t spin
individual wheels. This is much safer for AWD and 4WD drivetrains than
trying to drive out while spinning wheels.
Q: Can you recover a vehicle that’s rolled onto its
side? A: Yes. We have the equipment and experience to safely
upright vehicles that have tipped. This requires careful planning to
prevent further damage, but it’s well within our capabilities.
Q: I think I can get out if I just had some boards or
traction mats. Do you have those? A: We carry traction recovery
boards and can use them for simple situations. However, if you’ve
already tried rocking and spinning, the situation often requires
winching.
Q: Can you recover larger vehicles like trucks and
RVs? A: Yes. Our heavy-duty winches handle full-size trucks,
and we have additional equipment for larger vehicles and RVs. Let us
know the vehicle type when you call.
Q: What if I’m stuck on private property? A: As long
as you have permission to be there (or own the property), we can
respond. We work on farms, ranches, construction sites, and private land
throughout the Mesa area.
Q: Can you recover a vehicle that’s partially submerged in
water? A: We can recover vehicles from standing water, but we
wait for active flooding to subside. Post-flood recovery is
possible—call us as soon as it’s safe to access the area.
