The Mojave Desert is one of the most spectacular off-road destinations in the country. It’s also one of the most unforgiving when something goes wrong. If your vehicle is stuck, high-centered, rolled, or stranded on BLM land, a remote trail, or anywhere off the pavement in San Bernardino County — City Towing is the team to call.
We specialize in off-road recovery in some of the most remote and difficult terrain in California. Our drivers know the desert, know the trails, and have the equipment to get your vehicle out safely no matter what situation you’re in.

What Is Off-Road Recovery?
Off-road recovery is the process of extracting a vehicle that is stuck or stranded in terrain that standard tow trucks cannot reach or navigate. This is completely different from a standard highway tow — it requires specialized equipment, experience in desert and off-road conditions, and the determination to find you no matter how far out you are.
City Towing has done recoveries deep in BLM land, down washes, on rocky trails, and in sand dunes. We’ve located customers who had no cell signal and could only give us rough GPS coordinates. We don’t give up until we get to you.
Common Off-Road Recovery Situations We Handle
- Stuck in sand or mud — desert flash floods and soft sand can swallow a vehicle fast
- High-centered on rocks or terrain — lifted trucks and SUVs can still get hung up
- Rolled or tipped vehicles — we have the equipment for winching and uprighting
- Mechanical breakdown on a trail — engine failure, blown tires, or drivetrain damage miles from pavement
- Overheating in remote locations — the Mojave heat is no joke, especially in summer
- Lost or stranded with no fuel — we can deliver fuel or tow you out
- Side-by-side and ATV recovery — we handle powersports vehicles too
- OHV area incidents — Johnson Valley, Means Lake, and surrounding areas
Our Equipment and Capabilities
