Ottawa's 24/7 Winch-Out Recovery Service

Ottawa winters are harsh. Icy overpasses, slippery rural roads, and unexpected blizzards send vehicles into ditches every single week from November through March. But winch-outs aren't just a winter problem — mud season, gravel road dropoffs, and off-road misadventures happen year-round.

OnPoint Towing carries professional-grade winch equipment rated for passenger vehicles, SUVs, pickup trucks, and light commercial vehicles. Owner-operator who has performed hundreds of recovery jobs across Ottawa and knows how to assess each situation before pulling — protecting your vehicle and getting it done right the first time.

Winch-Out Recovery Ottawa — FAQ

What is a winch-out recovery? +

A winch-out uses a heavy-duty cable and motorized drum to pull a stuck or off-road vehicle back onto solid ground. It's the right tool when towing alone won't work — like when a vehicle has gone into a ditch, is buried in snow, or is stuck in mud.

How much does a winch-out cost in Ottawa? +

Winch-out recovery in Ottawa typically costs between $95 and $200 depending on how deeply the vehicle is stuck and the difficulty of the extraction. We give you a clear quote before we start — no surprises.

Can you recover a vehicle stuck in deep snow? +

Yes. Ottawa winters are no stranger to stuck vehicles. We carry recovery equipment designed specifically for snow and ice extractions, including snatch straps and winch extensions to reach vehicles at a safe angle.

Do you do off-road vehicle recovery? +

Absolutely. Whether it's a truck or SUV that went off a trail, a vehicle that slid off a rural road, or anything else off-pavement, our winch-out service can get you out.

Will a winch-out damage my vehicle? +

When done correctly, no. We attach to proper anchor points on your vehicle's frame and use protective equipment to prevent paint or bodywork damage. If your vehicle has already sustained damage, we work carefully to avoid making it worse.

Do you respond to highway ditching in Ottawa? +

Yes — we respond to the 417, 416, and all major highways in and around Ottawa. If you've gone off the road anywhere in the Ottawa region, call us immediately and we'll dispatch.
