Why winch-out & recovery pricing costs what it does in Downtown St. Paul

A snow emergency runs a Night Plow phase from 9 p.m. and a Day Plow from 8 a.m. that clears downtown first.

Common Downtown St. Paul cost questions
How much does a winch-out cost in Downtown St. Paul?
A winch-out in Downtown St. Paul is quoted before the truck rolls, and the quote reflects the scene rather than a flat starting rate. A car on a soft shoulder and a vehicle buried in a snow-filled ditch need different equipment and different amounts of time, so we ask what happened and where before giving you a number.
Do you do flood or high-water recovery in Downtown St. Paul?
Yes. If your car stalled in standing water in Downtown St. Paul, don't restart it, call us instead. The assigned operator quotes a flood-stall recovery before they start.
Is winch-out towing more expensive during ice storms in Downtown St. Paul?
Ice-storm calls in Downtown St. Paul take longer and need more careful handling than a dry-weather winch-out, which is reflected in the rate. The quote we give you is the quote you pay, confirmed before the truck rolls.
My car is stuck in a ditch in Downtown St. Paul, what do I do?
Stay safe off the roadway if you can, then call (952) 900-4065. Leave what the car is stuck in, mud, a ditch, snow, or ice, and we line up an operator who can quote the recovery equipment they actually have.
