SG3 Towing & Recovery
St. George towing, recovery and roadside assistance company handling emergency tows, off-road rescues and heavy-equipment hauling.
SG3 Towing & Recovery works 24/7 from Riverside Drive as an AAA provider, covering emergency towing, roadside assistance, off-road recovery and heavy-equipment hauling across southern Utah. The word recovery in that list is doing real work — it describes a different job from towing, with different equipment and a different set of risks.
Worth knowing
A tow moves a vehicle that is on a road and can be reached. A recovery retrieves one that is not: buried to the axles in soft sand at Sand Mountain, dropped off the edge of a shelf on a slickrock trail, or lying on its side in a wash. The equipment is different — winches, snatch blocks to redirect and multiply a pull, ground anchors where there is nothing solid to pull against, and rotator booms for anything genuinely heavy. So is the danger, because a loaded winch line stores a great deal of energy and a failed shackle or strap sends it somewhere with real force. The most useful advice for anyone who gets stuck in sand is unromantic and free: stop the moment the vehicle stops moving forward. Every extra second of spinning wheels digs the vehicle deeper, buries the axles further, and converts a straightforward pull into an excavation.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a tow and a recovery?
A tow moves a vehicle that is accessible and on a road surface. A recovery retrieves one that is stuck, off the road, or on its side, using winches, anchors and rigging before any towing can begin. They are priced and equipped differently because they are different work.
What should I do first if my vehicle is stuck in sand?
Stop spinning the wheels. The moment forward progress stops, more throttle only digs the vehicle deeper and buries the axles, turning a simple pull into a dig-out. Get out, look at what is actually happening under the vehicle, and lower tire pressure before trying again.
