Accident Recovery & Winching
Expert recovery when your vehicle is stuck or damaged.
When your vehicle is stuck in a ditch, trapped in mud, or damaged in an accident, you need more than a simple tow. You need accident recovery and winching services. At BaseDrive New Britain Towing, we specialize in recovering vehicles from difficult situations. Our team has the equipment, experience, and know-how to safely pull your car out and get it to a secure location.
What Is Accident Recovery and Winching?
Accident recovery is the process of safely removing a vehicle from a crash site or hazardous location. Winching is the use of a heavy-duty cable and winch to pull a vehicle out of a stuck position. Here are some situations where we can help:
- Vehicles in ditches: Slid off the road during bad weather? We can winch your car back onto the pavement.
- Stuck in mud or snow: If your vehicle cannot move under its own power, our winch can pull it free.
- Accident scenes: After a collision, we safely remove your vehicle from the roadway to clear traffic and protect others.
- Vehicles on embankments: If your car rolled down a hill or is stuck on a slope, we have the equipment to recover it.
- Parking lot mishaps: Even in parking lots, vehicles can get stuck on curbs or in tight spots. We can help.
Why Experience Matters in Accident Recovery
Not every tow truck driver knows how to handle complex recovery situations. Winching a vehicle requires skill, patience, and the right equipment. If done incorrectly, you can cause more damage to the vehicle or even create a dangerous situation. Our team has years of experience with accident recovery, and we know how to assess each situation carefully before taking action.
We use heavy-duty winches, straps, and recovery gear designed for tough jobs. We also follow safety protocols to protect our crew, your vehicle, and everyone on the scene. If your car was damaged in an accident and needs flatbed towing after recovery, we handle that too.
How We Recover Your Vehicle
When you call us at (860) 607-9026, we ask about your location and the situation. Once we arrive, we assess the scene to determine the safest recovery method. Then we attach our winch cable to your vehicle at strong anchor points, usually on the frame. We carefully pull your vehicle back onto solid ground, making sure to avoid further damage. After recovery, we can tow your car to a repair shop, your home, or another location.
If your vehicle was involved in an accident, we also work with insurance companies and law enforcement to make sure everything is handled properly. We provide emergency towing services 24/7, so you can reach us anytime you need help.
