Why Sun City Towing

Snow & Ditch Recovery in South Lake Tahoe, Done Right

Snow and ditch recovery is more than a quick pull. The vehicle may be at a bad angle, buried, or far from the road. We dig out what we need to, rig the vehicle with straps and snatch blocks, and bring it up slowly so it does not roll or get more damage. Then we check it and tow it if needed.

When to call us for snow & ditch recovery

  • Your vehicle slid off Highway 50, Highway 89 or Highway 88
  • The car is down an embankment or nose-first in a ditch
  • The car is buried after a storm or plow pass
  • A vehicle is tilted and might roll
  • You were in a slide-off and the car may be damaged

How it works

  1. Stay safe. If you are hurt or near traffic, call 911 first.
  2. Call (530) 725-5386 with your location or the nearest mile marker.
  3. We dig out and rig the vehicle, then pull it back up to the road.
  4. We check it, then you drive away or we tow it.

Before you drive in winter, check road conditions and chain controls on Caltrans QuickMap.

Snow & Ditch Recovery FAQs

Do you go out during storms?
Yes, when roads are open and it is safe to work. During chain controls and closures, we follow Caltrans and CHP direction.

How do I describe where I am?
A map pin from your phone is best. Otherwise give us the highway, direction and nearest mile marker or landmark.

Does insurance cover a recovery?
Many policies do. Keep your receipt for your insurer.
