Winch Out Service in Mentor, OH

Everything a fleet manager or owner-operator needs to know before booking a winch out service call in Mentor.

What is winch out service, exactly?

Mentor sits where I-90, US-20, and OH-2 meet, which is why most breakdown calls here come off a highway rather than a side street. A truck stopped on one of those is a traffic problem before it is a repair problem, so the first thing our dispatcher asks is which road you are on and which way you are pointed.

The trucks that cover Mentor also run Mentor-on-the-Lake, Kirtland, Willoughby, and Cleveland, out to about 43 miles at Akron. So a call from the edge of Lake County reaches the same people as one from the middle of town, and you are not handed off to a different dispatcher because of a county line.

What sets Mentor apart

How to choose a rescuer

• Insurance current. GL, auto, workers comp.
• DOT-compliant if they're towing or running service trucks over CDL weight.
• 24/7 dispatch with a real human, not a callback queue.
• Transparent pricing, you should get a confirmed dispatch fee before the truck rolls.
• Local, a service truck 60 miles away isn't going to beat the regional benchmark.
