Vehicle Recovery & Winch-Out Services

Safe, Professional Vehicle Recovery Across Spokane & North Idaho

When a vehicle ends up where it shouldn’t — in a ditch, off the road, stuck on a slope, or buried in uneven terrain — towing alone isn’t enough. You need proper vehicle recovery, done carefully, with the right equipment and experience.

Tip-Top-Towing provides professional vehicle recovery and winch-out services throughout Spokane County, WA and the North Idaho Panhandle, operating out of our Newman Lake headquarters near the State Line. We respond 24/7 to recover vehicles safely, minimize damage, and get drivers back on the road as quickly as possible.

What Is Vehicle Recovery?

Vehicle recovery is different from standard towing.
Recovery is required when a vehicle:
  • Slides into a ditch or embankment
  • Leaves the roadway
  • Gets stuck on a slope or shoulder
  • Is immobilized due to terrain, weather, or positioning
These situations require controlled winching, stabilization, and proper recovery angles — not just hooking up and pulling. That’s where experience matters.

Professional Winch-Out Services

Winch-outs are one of the most common recovery calls we handle. Using heavy-duty winches, recovery straps, and proper anchor points, we carefully extract vehicles from:
  • Ditches
  • Snowbanks
  • Mud
  • Sloped shoulders
  • Tight or confined areas
Our goal is always the same: recover the vehicle safely without causing unnecessary damage.
