Ditch and off-road recovery
Stuck off the road? Start with a call.
A car can still run but be unable to move out of a ditch or soft ground. You don't need to know whether it needs winch recovery or a tow. Tell us what's happened and we'll check how we can help.
Stuck in mud
Wheels sinking or spinning without moving? We'll talk through the situation and recovery options.
Soft grass verge
Pulled onto the verge and got stuck? Give us a call, even if the car still starts.
Tracks and parking areas
Stuck away from the main road? We'll check whether we can reach your vehicle safely.
After-dark callouts
Stuck at night? KYS offers 24/7 callouts. Call for availability and a current arrival estimate.
Recovery afterwards
If the vehicle can't be driven after it is recovered, we can discuss transport to a garage or home.

Ditch recovery questions
Useful answers.
01Can you help pull my car out of a ditch?
Call KYS and we'll check the situation with you. We'll confirm whether we can safely recover your vehicle before arranging the job. You don't need to know what equipment is needed.
02Can you recover a car stuck in mud or on a grass verge?
We can discuss suitable recoveries from mud, soft verges and other accessible off-road positions. Whether we can help depends on where the vehicle is and how it can be reached.
03Do I need winch recovery or a tow truck?
You don't need to choose before calling. A stuck vehicle may need pulling back onto accessible ground before it can be driven or transported. We'll talk through the right approach with you.
04How much does it cost to pull a car out of a ditch?
We quote for the actual recovery, rather than a fixed ditch-recovery price. The vehicle's position, access and any onward transport affect the cost. Call for a quote before agreeing to the job.
05How quickly can KYS get here?
Call for the current arrival estimate. Timing depends on your location, availability and the recovery needed. We'll explain that on the call rather than promise the same time for every off-road job.
06Do I need to send photos before I call?
No. Call or send a short WhatsApp message first. If a photo or location pin would help, we'll explain what we need during the conversation.
Need ditch recovery?
Just call. We'll help you work it out.
We're a family-run business. You don't need all the answers before getting in touch, and we'll be clear about whether we can help.
