Winch Out Service in Allen, TX
Slid off the road, stuck in mud or hung up on a curb? Towing Squad uses a winch to pull your vehicle back onto solid ground, day or night.
24/7 dispatch(469) 589-8124How a Winch Out Works
A winch out pulls a stuck vehicle free with a steel cable and a powered winch on our truck. We hook to a safe point on your vehicle and pull it slowly back to the road or a firm surface.
Most winch outs do not need a tow. Once you are back on pavement, you can often drive away.
When You Need a Winch Out
- Stuck in mud after rain.
- Slid into a ditch or drainage swale.
- Hung up on a curb, median or parking stop.
- Stuck on a grassy slope or soft yard.
- Off the road after a storm or ice.
Why Cars Get Stuck in Collin County
North Texas clay soil turns to slick mud after a hard rain. New neighborhoods in Celina, Anna, Melissa and Princeton often have bare lots and soft shoulders. Drainage ditches along farm roads catch cars that drift off the edge.
We once pulled a Tesla off a grassy slope beside a parking lot. EVs and low cars need extra care so the winch line does not touch the body.
Stay Safe While You Wait
- Do not spin your tires. It digs the car deeper.
- Turn on your hazard lights.
- Stay out of moving traffic.
- Tell dispatch if the car is leaning or near water.
If the Car Needs a Tow
If the car is damaged after it slid off the road, we can load it for a tow on the same call. See Accident Towing and Flatbed Towing.

Winch Out or Tow: Which Do You Need?
A winch out is enough when the car is stuck but not damaged. Once it is back on firm ground, you can drive away.
If the car hit something on the way off the road, is leaking fluid, or has a bent wheel or flat tire, it may need a tow after the winch out. Our driver checks the vehicle and can load it on a flatbed on the same call.
