Stuck in the sand? We pull vehicles out

The desert looks solid until your tires sink. Soft sand, dirt roads, dry washes and mud after a rain can trap an SUV or a truck in seconds. Call dispatch, describe where you are, and we plan the recovery around the ground you're stuck in, not a price list.

When to call

Your tires are buried in soft desert sand
You slid off a dirt road and can't get back up the grade
A wash or a puddle turned to mud after rain
Your 4x4 is high-centered on a rock or a rut

How it works

Describe the terrain to dispatch, plus a landmark or a map pin.
The driver works out how to reach you without getting stuck too.
A winch line and recovery gear bring the vehicle back to firm ground.
If it can't drive after that, we can tow it on from there.

Winch-outs

If your car only needs a simple pull back onto pavement, the estimator shows an all-in range. Pick Winch-out in the estimator and enter your location. Anything more involved, like deep sand or a steep bank, is priced by dispatch.

A reviewer pulled from the sand

On Yelp, a customer named Ashley K. described being stuck in the sand in the middle of the day, in 100-degree heat, after other companies would not come out. A truck from SSTR got the car out. That is the kind of call this service is built for.

While you wait in the heat

Stay with your vehicle. Sit in whatever shade you can find, keep water close and sip it often. Don't walk off across open desert.

Off-road recovery questions

Can you reach me on a dirt road?

Tell dispatch where you are, with a landmark, a mile marker or a map pin. They'll tell you what it takes.

How much does a desert recovery cost?

It depends on the terrain, the time it takes and how far off the pavement you are. A simple pull to pavement can be priced online. Harder jobs are quoted on scene before work starts.

What should I do while I wait?

Stay with the vehicle, find shade and drink water. Keep your phone charged and your hazards on if you are near a road. Don't hike off, since a vehicle is much easier to find than a person.
