Accident Recovery & Winching
When your vehicle is stuck, damaged, or in a dangerous location, we provide fast accident recovery and winching services to get you out safely.
Why Fast Accident Recovery Matters
After an accident, every minute counts. Your vehicle might be blocking traffic, sitting in a dangerous spot, or at risk of further damage. You need a towing company that responds quickly, knows how to handle accident scenes, and can safely recover your vehicle without making things worse.
PFT Post Falls Towing Service specializes in accident recovery and winching. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so we are always available when you need us most. Our drivers have experience working with law enforcement, insurance companies, and emergency responders to clear accident scenes efficiently and professionally.
Whether your car slid off the road, crashed into a ditch, or ended up in a position where it cannot be driven, we have the equipment to recover it safely. Our towing team in Post Falls handles everything from minor fender benders to serious collisions.
What Our Accident Recovery Service Includes
Accident recovery is more than just towing a damaged car. It often requires specialized tools, careful maneuvering, and the ability to work in difficult or hazardous conditions. Here is what we handle:
- Recovering vehicles from ditches, embankments, and off-road areas
- Winching cars out of mud, snow, or sand
- Upright rollover vehicles safely and carefully
- Clearing accident scenes to restore traffic flow
- Transporting severely damaged vehicles to repair shops or impound lots
- Working with police and insurance adjusters on-site
We also provide winching services for vehicles that are stuck but not damaged. If you went off-road and got bogged down, or if your car slid into a snowbank, we can pull you out without causing additional damage. If you need towing after the recovery, we can handle that in the same trip. We also offer flatbed towing for accident-damaged vehicles that need careful transport.
How Our Winching Service Works
Winching is the process of using a heavy-duty cable and pulley system to pull a stuck or damaged vehicle back to safety. Our tow trucks are equipped with powerful winches that can handle several tons of pulling force, which means we can recover vehicles from steep slopes, deep ditches, and other challenging situations.
When we arrive, our driver assesses the situation to determine the safest recovery method. We attach the winch cable to a secure point on your vehicle, then slowly and carefully pull it back to level ground. If the terrain is especially rough or unstable, we might use multiple attachment points or anchor the tow truck to prevent it from shifting during the pull.
Safety is always our top priority. We never rush the process, and we take extra precautions to protect both your vehicle and our team. Once your car is back on solid ground, we inspect it for any additional damage and determine whether it can be driven or needs to be towed to a repair shop.
