• Ditch and embankment extractions after ice or rain skids.
Standard towing involves transporting a rolling, accessible vehicle from point A to point B using a flatbed or wheel-lift truck. Vehicle recovery is a complex extraction process required when a car is immobile, flipped, stuck in mud or snow, or situated off the pavement where standard tow hooks cannot safely reach without causing structural damage.
• Vehicles stranded in heavy mud, unpaved shoulders, or snowbanks.
• Collision recovery following highway crashes or rollovers.
• Vehicles trapped in underground parkades or narrow spaces.
Prime Towing utilizes heavy-duty motorized winches, soft-rigging straps, snatch blocks, and specialized anchor systems to carefully extricate vehicles from precarious positions across Halifax while preserving structural integrity.

Controlled Extraction & Towing
Turn on hazard lights. If stuck on a busy HRM route like the Bicentennial Highway or Circumferential Highway, stay inside your vehicle with your seatbelt fastened unless safe to step behind guardrails.
Call our 24/7 hotline. Provide your precise location, vehicle make and model, and describe the terrain or damage surrounding the stuck vehicle.
Our certified recovery technician arrives, secures the immediate area with amber safety lighting, and assesses tension points and vehicle weight distribution before rigging.

Can a severely stuck vehicle be towed right away?
What information should I provide when calling?
A stuck vehicle must first undergo recovery winching to pull it back onto safe, solid pavement. Once extracted onto stable ground, our technician will assess if it can be driven safely or if flatbed towing is required.
Please share your exact GPS location or nearby landmarks, vehicle make and model, the condition of the tires and steering, and a clear description of the surrounding terrain (e.g., steep ditch, deep mud, or ice).
Should I call 911 or a towing company?
Can I try to pull my car out with another vehicle?
Call 911 immediately if anyone is injured, if your vehicle is blocking active highway lanes, or if there is an active safety hazard. Once emergency services secure the scene, call Prime Towing for professional vehicle recovery.
We strongly advise against amateur pulling. Improper tow points, inadequate chain ratings, and unaligned pulling angles frequently lead to severe bumper torn frames, snapping cables, and dangerous personal injury.
