"I slid off a gravel pullout on a back road near Sparks after a light rain--the rear wheels dropped into soft soil, and I couldn't obtain traction in any direction. Finding the location wasn't straightforward since I was well off a named road, but Brenan Towing Rescue managed to locate me using the GPS coordinates I read off my phone without asking me to navigate to them anywhere.
The recovery operator walked the area before setting up anything, chose an anchor point on stable ground well away from the soft edge, and used a tree strap at the anchor to protect the bark. The winch pull was slow and steady -- not a single sharp jerk that would have stressed the rear axle or bumper. Once the vehicle was free and back on solid ground, he walked underneath with me to inspect for any contact damage before I drove off. Nothing to report. The charge was fair for the type and location of the recovery, and it was disclosed before work started." read more
