How much does a winch-out cost in El Paso?

A winch-out starts at the $95 minimum service call. A simple pull off a soft shoulder is on the low end. A buried-in-sand recovery, a steep embankment, or an over-the-edge pull needs more rigging and time, so those are priced on site once the driver sees the situation. No surge pricing for nights, weekends, or holidays.

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.
