When you need more than a tow

Vehicle recovery is different from standard towing. Recovery means getting your vehicle back to a safe, accessible position first – whether it has slid into a ditch, become stuck in snow, or ended up in a position where a standard tow hook cannot reach it safely.

Ottawa winters create real recovery situations every year. Icy roads, snowbanks, and slippery driveways send vehicles off the road regularly from November through March. OnPoint Towing is equipped and experienced for these conditions.

  • Snow and ice recovery – vehicles stuck in snowbanks, icy ditches, or frozen driveways.
  • Ditch and shoulder extraction – safe winch-out from roadside ditches and embankments.
  • Parking lot and driveway recovery – suburban and residential stuck-vehicle situations.
  • Post-recovery towing – if the vehicle needs transport after extraction, we handle that too.

Ottawa winter recovery

Ottawa averages over 200 cm of snowfall per year. Icy roads, snowbanks, and slippery conditions make vehicle recovery one of our most common winter calls. We are equipped for Ottawa winters and respond quickly even in severe weather conditions.

FAQ

Vehicle recovery questions

What is the difference between vehicle recovery and towing?

Recovery means getting your vehicle back to a safe, accessible position – out of a ditch, out of snow, or off an embankment. Towing means transporting it afterward. OnPoint Towing handles both: we recover your vehicle first, then tow it if needed.

Can you recover a vehicle stuck in deep snow?

Yes. We use winch equipment and controlled extraction techniques for snow recovery situations. Whether your vehicle is stuck in a driveway, a parking lot, or a roadside snowbank, call us and we will assess the situation and recover it safely.

Do you do recovery calls overnight and in bad weather?

Yes. We operate 24/7, 365 days a year. Winter storms and overnight calls are some of our most common recovery situations. We dispatch immediately regardless of conditions.
