Winch-out service in Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Stuck in sand, mud or a ditch? We pull vehicles up to medium duty back onto solid ground.
One wrong turn onto a dirt shoulder near the foothills, and your tires just spin in the sand. After a rare Inland Empire rain, soft ground turns into a trap even faster. Splendid Towing Assistance provides winch out service across Rancho Cucamonga and nearby towns.
Short answer: A winch-out pulls a stuck vehicle back onto solid ground with a cable from the tow truck. We do winch-outs for cars, pickups and vehicles up to medium duty. We don’t do heavy recovery. Call (909) 757-8831.
What does winch out mean?
It’s when a tow truck uses its winch and cable to pull a vehicle out of a spot it can’t drive out of: sand, mud, a ditch or a soft shoulder. If the vehicle drives fine once it’s out, no tow is needed. If it’s damaged, we can tow it.
Which vehicles do our winch-outs cover?
| Vehicle | Winch-out? |
|---|---|
| Cars, SUVs and minivans | Yes |
| Pickup trucks | Yes |

What should I tell the dispatcher?
- Where you are, or a pin from your phone’s map.
- The vehicle: year, make, model, and whether it’s loaded.
- Where it’s stuck: sand, mud, a ditch or a soft shoulder, and how far from the road.
- Whether the vehicle is upright and whether anyone is hurt.
What should I do while I wait?
- Stop spinning the wheels. It digs the tires deeper and can damage the vehicle.
- Turn on the hazard lights.
- If the vehicle is tilted, get out on the safe side and move away.
- If anyone is hurt, call 911 first.
What happens after the winch-out?
Once you’re back on solid ground, check the tires and look underneath for anything dragging or leaking. If a tire is damaged, we can put on your spare. If the vehicle won’t drive safely, we can tow it to a shop.
