We Can Winch You Out of Nearly Any Situation

    Snow Winch Outs

    Wisconsin’s winter roads are messy and unpredictable. You never know where the snow will cave in and claim your tires in a death grip. If the ice ever gets the best of you, don’t floor the gas pedals to try and spin the tire out of the hole. That’s a rookie mistake. Your car will only sink deeper. Instead, call us for a winch-out. We’ll connect our winch, clear the snow around your tires, and gently tow you back onto solid ground. Our operators will be extra careful not to damage your undercarriage.

    Mud Winch Outs

    If your car’s up to its axles in mud, no need to worry. Our well-equipped crew will roll in with heavy-duty winch cables, snatch blocks, and tow straps strong enough to pull a truck out of a sinkhole. We start by anchoring our winch to a solid point. This ensures a stable pull. Then we’ll slowly and carefully drag your vehicle out of the muck. It’s a dirty job, but somebody has to do it—and we do it best.

    Off-Road Winch Outs

    Off-roading on West Milwaukee and Greenfield’s trails is a blast—until it’s not. Whether you’re stuck in deep sand, caught in a rocky crevice, or teetering on the edge of a steep incline, we’re the team to call. Our roadside operators are experts at managing tricky angles and uneven terrain. Using D-rings, shackle mounts, and the right winch line, we’ll carefully maneuver your vehicle out of harm’s way.

    Ditch Winch Outs

    So, you slid into a ditch near Milwaukee—happens to the best of us. Particularly in winter. The black ice on the roads can be a nightmare. But we can get you out quickly. How? We stabilize your vehicle first, using sturdy recovery straps and tree savers to prevent further sliding. Then, with the winch and a controlled, steady pull, we bring your car back up, keeping the angle just right to avoid any more damage.

    Rollover Recoveries

    Rollovers accidents are pretty scary, but recoveries are even more dangerous. To avoid causing more expensive damage to the car (or further injuring occupants that can’t safely get out of the rollover), let the experienced professionals handle it. At Speedy Peedy Towing, we’ll use high-strength winches to flip your car back on its wheels as gently and safely as possible. We’ll also thoroughly inspect it for any leaks or damaged parts. We do rollover recoveries for cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans.

Getting Your Car Out of A Ditch:
Here’s What to Do

  1. Assess the situation

    First, evaluate the situation. What is the terrain like? How deep is the car in the ditch? This will let you know if you can try to get yourself out or if it’s time to call in the pros. If the car is in a deep ditch or on a steep slide, getting it out yourself is risky. It could roll or slide out of control. You should also call a winch service if you get stuck in extreme weather—like icy roads or a heavy downpour—or if your car has visible damage.

  2. Check for immediate hazards

    Before you do anything else, make sure you’re not in immediate danger—like sitting in the path of oncoming traffic or perched on a slope. Flip on your hazard lights to alert others to your situation. If it’s safe, hop out and take a closer look, but be cautious about it—watch out for traffic and unstable ground.

  3. Consider removing excess weight

    Don’t try moving the car out of the hole with passengers seated. The extra weight makes it harder to maneuver. You should also offload cargo like bags, luggage, or heavy items. However, cargo like this might be useful if you’re stuck in mud or snow. The added weight can help you gain traction.

  4. Try to rock the car out

    If the situation isn’t too severe, or you’re in a narrow ditch, try rocking the car out. Shift between drive and reverse, gently pressing the gas to build some momentum. Don’t floor it. Just add enough pressure to get the tires moving. Spinning the tires too fast can dig the car deeper into the ground.

  5. Add some traction

    Are the tires just spinning without gaining momentum? Throw some sand, gravel, or kitty litter under them. You have none of these traction aids? Use floor mats, branches, or any flat objects to give your tires something to grip. Place them in the direction you’re trying to go—in front if you’re driving forward or behind if you’re reversing.

  6. Lower the tire pressure

    Lowering the tire pressure a bit can help increase traction because it gives your tires more surface area to grip. Don’t go overboard or deflate the tires completely—just let out a little air. Be sure to reinflate as soon as you’re free.

  7. Call in the experts.

    If your attempts to free the car aren’t working, or it’s in a tricky spot, call a professional winch out service. These experts have the tools and know-how to pull you out quickly without any damage.

What Not to Do When Your Car Gets Stuck

  1. Don’t floor the gas pedal.

    Resist the urge. Mashing the gas pedal only digs your tires deeper into the mess. This can lead to severe ruts. It can also bury your car and make it impossible to get out without professional help.

  2. Don’t spin the tires continuously.

    Spinning your tires endlessly generates heat and friction—two things you don’t want. They’ll wear down the tires and could mess up your drivetrain, too. Plus, you’ll just pack down the mud or snow, making it harder to get out.

  3. Don’t exit the vehicle rashly.

    If you’re stuck in a dangerous spot, like on a busy road, don’t just jump out of the car. Stay put until you’ve got a game plan, and always keep your seatbelt on until you’re sure it’s safe.

  4. Don’t attempt to tow with unrated equipment.

    Using unrated equipment can lead to broken tow ropes and a damaged car. If you don’t have the right gear, don’t try to DIY the tow—call for help instead.

  5. Don’t use make-shift tools.

    Digging out your car with your hands or using flimsy tools isn’t just ineffective—it’s risky. You could injure yourself or damage the car. If you don’t have the right tools, it’s better to wait for someone who does.

    Don’t make a bad situation worse. If digging your car out is looking like a herculean task, it probably is. Relax, and make the practical decision—call the roadside experts at Speedy Peedy Towing. We’ll dispatch our nearest tow truck with a winch to your location ASAP.

Winch Out Service FAQs

Yes. We have wreckers with heavy-duty winches that can handle semis, box trucks, and vans.

You need a winch with a pulling capacity that’s at least 1.5 times your car’s weight. So, for a typical 4,000-pound sedan, you’re looking at a winch rated for at least 6,000 pounds. Got an SUV or a truck? You’ll want to up that to an 8,000 to 10,000-pound winch to be safe. The bigger the winch, the easier it’ll haul your ride out.

Our winch out costs depend on several factors, including how far our tow truck has to travel to get to you, how far off the road you are, the time of day, how deep your car’s stuck, and the severity of the situation.
