Common Questions: Towing, Snow and the Pass
Does towing cost more during a snowstorm or on the pass?
Price depends on distance, vehicle type, recovery needed and time of day. Describe your situation to dispatch at 530-622-9211, and they can explain what applies before service begins.
Is recovery from a snowbank or ditch priced differently from a regular tow?
Winch-out and extraction take extra equipment and time, so they can be part of the quote. Tell dispatch exactly how the vehicle is sitting when you call.
What details help you quote my tow faster?
Where the vehicle is now, where it needs to go, the vehicle type, whether it runs, and whether it is off the road in a ditch or snow. Use the Send My Location button if you are unsure where you are.
