What we handle

  1. Snow ditch winch-out. Most common Wisconsin winter call. Side ditches, highway shoulders, residential cul-de-sacs.
  2. Driveway recovery. Slid down, parked too far, ice rink. We winch back to drivable surface.
  3. Lake-effect snow events. Milwaukee's east-side lakefront takes serious lake-effect; we have equipment for it.
  4. Frozen lock / battery dead in cold. Combined lockout + jump-start trips during sub-zero stretches.
  5. Stuck in lakefront ice. Lakeshore Drive, Lake Park, North Shore curves are iconic ice traps.

FAQ

How much does winter ditch recovery cost?

$75–$200 depending on access difficulty and equipment needed. Steep ditches or snow-blocked access cost more.

Why shouldn't I spin my tires when stuck?

Spinning overheats the transmission ($2,000–$3,000 repair), melts/refreezes ice under the tire, and digs you in deeper. Stop, call us.

Can you reach me if my driveway is snowed in?

Yes — we plow access if needed for an extra fee, or recommend you clear a path first. Tell us conditions on the call.

Do you handle lake-effect snow events?

Yes — Milwaukee's lake-effect snow off Lake Michigan creates dramatic local conditions. Our trucks have proper winter equipment (chains, sand, winch).

Wisconsin winter call volume?

Dec–March is our busiest stretch. Plan for 30–60 min response during major storms (vs 20–45 min normal).
