Winch-Out in Downtown El Paso, TX.
Winch-Out for Downtown El Paso drivers, handled by licensed El Paso area tow operators. If your vehicle is buried in desert sand, sunk in mud, slid into a roadside ditch, or hung up over an embankment, you need a winch, not a hook. The recovery operators we dispatch run integrated-winch wreckers and carry traction mats, snatch blocks, and proper rigging to get you out without bending a control arm or cracking a bumper.

I'm stuck in the sand - what should I do until you arrive?
Stop spinning the tires. Every extra second of wheelspin digs you deeper and packs sand around the undercarriage, which makes the recovery longer and harder. Turn the wheels straight, take your foot off the gas, and wait. If you're in a wash with rain moving in, get clear of the vehicle and tell us when you call so the run gets priority.
