A standard winch-out is quoted before dispatch. A simple pull off a soft shoulder is still a quoted job, not a published range. A vehicle stalled deep at a low-water crossing, a steep gravel-road embankment, or an over-the-edge pull needs more rigging and time, so those are quoted before anyone is dispatched once the operator has the details.
My car stalled at a low-water crossing. What should I do until the operator arrives?
Do not try to restart the engine if water reached the intake, because 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, get yourself clear first and tell us when you call.
