Winch-out, pull-out and vehicle recovery in Montreal
A vehicle stuck in snow or mud, stranded in a ditch or off the road may need recovery before ordinary towing can begin. A winch-out, also called a pull-out, brings the vehicle back to an accessible position before its next move is decided. In Montreal, call Remorquage 24/24 Montréal at 514-975-9888 to describe the situation.
Specify the vehicle type, its position, the ground conditions and access from the road. Mention a slope, ravine, obstacle, locked wheels or visible damage. The recovery method and equipment depend on these details and the assessment at the scene.
Tell us the destination if the vehicle will then need transport to a repair shop. The price and timing are confirmed according to access, recovery difficulty and the requested transport.
After the winch-out: assistance and transport
Recovery and transport address different needs. After a pull-out, tell us whether a breakdown, flat tire or damage prevents the vehicle from moving. Transport to a repair shop can then be arranged according to its condition and your destination. The additional services below also cover common roadside assistance requests; mention which ones apply to your situation when you call.

Ditch, ravine or off-road recovery: describe the access
A car in a shallow ditch and a vehicle farther down a ravine present different recovery conditions. Describe the distance from the road, the slope, the space available for the tow truck and obstacles around the vehicle. Also mention soft ground, snow, mud or any visible damage.
For an off-road recovery, provide a precise landmark and the direction of travel. The choice of winch, pulling points and method of returning the vehicle to an accessible surface depends on the assessment of the situation. A pull-out can be followed by towing if the vehicle’s condition requires it.
