Stuck in the Snow? Tip-Top-Towing Is Built for Winter Recovery
When winter hits Eastern Washington and North Idaho, vehicles end up stuck fast — buried in snowbanks, slid into ditches, or stranded on icy roads. Spinning tires and waiting too long can make things worse.
Tip-Top-Towing provides professional winter recovery services across Spokane County, WA and the North Idaho Panhandle, operating out of our Newman Lake headquarters near the State Line. Winter recovery is one of our core specialties, and we respond 24/7 when conditions are at their worst.
If your vehicle is stuck in snow or ice, call us before the situation escalates.
What Is Winter Vehicle Recovery?
Winter recovery goes beyond standard towing or basic winch-outs.
These situations require specialized equipment, experience, and careful recovery techniques to avoid vehicle damage and ensure safety.
Winter recovery is needed when vehicles:
- Get buried in snowbanks
- Slide off icy roads
- Become stuck on steep, snow-covered driveways
- Lose traction on hills or shoulders
- End up in ditches during winter conditions
This is not a “hook and pull” job — and doing it wrong can cause serious damage.
Professional Snow & Ice Recovery Services
We regularly recover vehicles from:
- Deep snowbanks
- Icy ditches and shoulders
- Snow-covered side roads
- Sloped or unplowed driveways
- Winter storm conditions
Our team uses controlled winching, proper rigging, and recovery angles designed specifically for winter conditions.
