!Until we arrive
Clay, hills and the odd ice storm
Much of Knox County sits on red clay that turns slick and sticky after a good rain, and plenty of homes sit on hillsides with long gravel driveways. Add the narrow back roads with steep ditches in North and East Knox County, and a winter ice storm every so often, and you get a steady stream of winch-out calls.
Every recovery starts with a look at the ground, the angle and the anchor points. Pulling hard and fast is how bumpers get torn off. A slow, controlled pull from the right angle brings the vehicle back without new damage.
What we bring to a winch-out
Truck-mounted winch for a steady, controlled pull instead of a jerk.
Change the pulling angle and add pulling power for awkward spots.
Attach to recovery points and frames without crushing bumpers or trim.
Lights and cones to protect the scene on narrow roads and blind curves.

Winch-out questions
How much does a winch-out cost in Knoxville?
Most winch-outs in the Knoxville area run $125–$250 for the first hour. The price depends on how far the vehicle is from solid ground, the angle and what it’s stuck in. We confirm the price on the phone before we roll.
Can I drive my car after it’s been winched out?
Often, yes. After recovery we look for damage underneath, leaking fluids, bent wheels and steering problems. If anything looks unsafe, we tell you and can tow the vehicle to your shop instead.
Should I keep trying to drive out of the mud?
No. Spinning the wheels digs the vehicle deeper, overheats the transmission and can burn up the clutch on a manual. Stop, turn off the engine and call us. It’s usually a much easier pull before the tires have dug in.
Do you winch out trucks and SUVs?
Yes, cars, SUVs, pickups and vans. Tell us the vehicle and how it’s sitting when you call, so we bring the right truck and recovery gear for the weight and the angle.
