Our Towing & Recovery Services in Silverthorne, CO
Towing
Light & Medium Duty Towing — Silverthorne & Summit County
From passenger cars to pickup trucks, our towing fleet handles everyday breakdowns, accident recoveries, and vehicle transports throughout Silverthorne, Dillon, Frisco, Breckenridge, and Keystone. We offer both flatbed and wheel-lift towing to safely move any vehicle — regardless of size, drive type, or condition.
Heavy Duty Towing — Semi Trucks, Commercial Vehicles & Large Equipment
Mountain Recovery is fully equipped for heavy-duty towing on Colorado’s most demanding roads. Our heavy-duty fleet handles semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, big rigs, RVs, motorhomes, and buses on I-70, Vail Pass, Loveland Pass, and throughout Summit County. We carry rotator equipment and the rigging capacity for complex recoveries, including semi rollovers on mountain highways.
Flatbed Towing
Protect your vehicle with our flatbed tow trucks — the safest method for AWD and 4WD vehicles, luxury and exotic cars, motorcycles, and classic automobiles. If your vehicle can’t or shouldn’t be towed with wheels on the ground, our flatbeds have you covered.
Roadside Repair
Medium & Heavy-Duty Repairs
When a medium or heavy-duty truck breaks down on I-70 or a Summit County mountain road, getting a commercial shop to come to you isn’t always an option. Mountain Recovery dispatches experienced technicians to your location for on-site medium and heavy-duty repairs — minimizing downtime and getting your vehicle back in service without an unnecessary tow.
Radiator Service
High altitude and steep mountain grades put extra strain on cooling systems. If your vehicle is running hot or has lost coolant on I-70, Vail Pass, or anywhere in Summit County, our roadside team can diagnose the problem and perform emergency radiator service on the spot — coolant top-offs, hose repairs, and pressure checks included.
Diesel Repair
Mountain Recovery provides mobile diesel repair for trucks, commercial vehicles, and heavy equipment throughout the Silverthorne area and the I-70 corridor. From fuel system issues to DEF problems to on-road diagnostics, our technicians are equipped to handle diesel-specific breakdowns in the field so you’re not waiting for a flatbed when a repair will do.
Tire Chains
Colorado’s Traction Law requires passenger vehicles and commercial trucks to carry and use tire chains or approved traction devices when conditions warrant on I-70 and mountain passes. If you’re caught in a winter storm without chains — or can’t safely install them yourself — Mountain Recovery’s roadside crew will come to you and get your chains on so you can keep moving legally and safely.
Emergency Recovery
Mountain Recovery & Off-Road Vehicle Recovery
Silverthorne’s terrain doesn’t forgive mistakes. Whether you’ve slid off I-70 in a whiteout, sunk into deep snow near a ski resort, gone off-road in the backcountry, or need a high-angle winch recovery on a mountain pass, Mountain Recovery’s team and equipment are purpose-built for high-altitude extractions throughout the Colorado Rockies.
Winch Out Service
Car stuck in snow, ice, or mud? Our winch-out service quickly and safely extracts vehicles from roadside ditches, snowbanks, and backcountry pullouts without causing additional damage to your vehicle or the surrounding terrain.
Snow Recovery & Accident Recovery
Winter in Summit County means real winter. We respond 24/7 to snow-related vehicle incidents: slide-offs on Vail Pass and Loveland Pass, post-blizzard recoveries, rollover assistance, and accident recovery for vehicles that can’t be driven out under their own power. When conditions are worst, our trucks are already out there.
Transportation
Long-Distance & Specialty Vehicle Transport
Need your vehicle moved beyond a standard local tow? Mountain Recovery provides vehicle transportation throughout Colorado and neighboring states. We handle dealer transfers, auction transport, classic car relocations, and pre-planned vehicle moves with the same care and professionalism we bring to every recovery call.
Trailer Towing & RV Transport
From utility trailers to full-size motorhomes and fifth wheels, Mountain Recovery can tow and transport trailers and RVs throughout Summit County and the broader Colorado Front Range. Call ahead for larger units so we can dispatch the right truck.
Commercial Vehicle Transport — I-70 Corridor
Commercial drivers hauling freight through the I-70 mountain corridor can count on Mountain Recovery for non-emergency transport coordination, vehicle repositioning, and fleet breakdown support from the Eisenhower Tunnel to Vail Pass.
Environmental
Hazmat Cleanup & Highway Spill Response — Summit County
Backed by FirstLine Environmental’s expertise, Mountain Recovery provides emergency hazardous materials spill response and cleanup on I-70 and throughout Summit County. Our certified response teams are available 24/7 for incidents involving fuel spills, automotive fluid releases, chemical cargo releases, and other vehicle-related environmental hazards on Colorado mountain highways.
Hazmat Containment & Cleanup
We deploy specialized containment and recovery equipment to prevent environmental contamination on Colorado roadways and neighboring properties — automotive fluids, diesel fuel, gasoline, oils, and other hazardous materials — in compliance with EPA and Colorado CDPHE regulations.
Cargo Spill Recovery
When commercial vehicles release cargo on I-70 or a Summit County highway, our environmental response team secures the scene, contains and recovers materials, and works to restore roadway safety as quickly as possible.
Cargo Handling
Commercial Cargo Recovery — I-70 Mountain Corridor
When a commercial vehicle experiences a load shift, cargo spill, or trailer incident on I-70 or a Colorado mountain pass, Mountain Recovery provides rapid on-scene cargo recovery and management — securing and inventorying freight, clearing roadway hazards, and coordinating with law enforcement and insurance carriers as needed.
Load Shift Service
A shifted load on a mountain highway is a serious safety risk. Our team responds to load shift incidents on I-70, Vail Pass, Loveland Pass, and throughout Summit County — assessing, securing, and redistributing cargo so your vehicle can be safely moved or continue on its route.
Heavy Equipment & Oversized Load Handling
Construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and oversized loads present unique challenges on Colorado’s mountain roads. Mountain Recovery has the rigging equipment, the permits knowledge, and the mountain-road expertise to recover and transport heavy equipment safely throughout Summit County and the surrounding region.
