How much does a winch-out cost in Richmond?
A standard winch-out is priced by the operator before we dispatch. A simple pull off a soft shoulder is on the low end.

My car stalled in standing water - what should I do until you arrive?
Do not try to restart the engine if water reached the intake - cranking a flooded engine causes catastrophic damage. Turn on your hazards, get to safe, dry ground if you can do so without wading through moving water, and wait. If the water is still rising, prioritize getting yourself clear first and tell us when you call.
