Off Road Recovery
Whether you’re stuck in the mud, stranded in a ditch, or buried in snow, JJ Hogan Towing is here to help. Our Off Road Recovery service is built for those moments when your vehicle veers off the pavement and needs expert assistance to get back on the road — or back to safety.
From backroads to rural fields, steep driveways to unpaved trails, we specialize in getting vehicles out of the places they weren’t meant to be. With the right equipment and the experience to use it, we recover stuck vehicles with minimal damage and maximum care.
What is Off Road Recovery?
Off Road Recovery involves retrieving vehicles that have become stuck, stranded, or disabled in non-standard environments — typically areas where regular tow trucks can’t safely operate.
This includes pulling cars out of:
Muddy backroads
Ditches and culverts
Snowbanks or ice patches
Unpaved trails or construction zones
Yards, fields, or uneven terrain
Unlike simple towing, off road recovery requires a tailored approach. The terrain, angle, and vehicle condition all play a role, and safety is always our top priority.
When Do You Need It?
Off road recovery may be needed if:
Your tires are spinning but you’re not moving
You slid off the road during rain or snow
You drove onto soft ground that can’t support your vehicle’s weight
Your vehicle is teetering on a hill, embankment, or unstable surface
You’re stuck somewhere a typical tow truck can’t easily reach
These aren’t everyday situations — but we handle them every day.
