Stuck car in Brussels – fast response 24/7.
Brussels Car Dépannage has specialised in vehicle recovery in Brussels for +10 years. With 4.9/5 on Google and over 212 reviews, we are the most recommended winching service in the region. And it's the owners themselves who respond with their 4x4.
Your car is bogged down? Stuck in snow? Trapped in a ditch or on waterlogged grass? It happens: slippery ground after rain, fresh snow in winter, or a path that was a bit too adventurous.
We arrive in less than 30 minutes with our 4x4 and professional winch. We get you out safely, without damaging your vehicle. Available 24/7, even in the middle of a winter night.
How we handle the extraction
First thing: we assess the situation. How is your car stuck? In mud, snow, a ditch? How deep? We also look at the angle and terrain condition. Some cases are simple (a little push is enough), others require the winch.
We use our professional winch fixed to our 4x4. We attach the cable to a solid point on your car (never on a plastic part, always on the chassis or designated anchor points). We pull gradually, without jerks, to avoid damaging anything. Once the car is out, we check it drives normally.
Quick tip: if you're stuck, don't accelerate like mad. You'll just dig deeper and sink the car further. Call us directly at 0479 89 00 89, it will save you from making the situation worse and paying for towing on top of the extraction.

Winch or towing: how we choose?
Many people think you can always get a stuck car out by pulling it with another car. Bad idea. Pulling with a cable or rope is dangerous: the cable can break, anchor points can give way, and you risk damaging both cars.
The winch is different. It's a mechanical system that pulls gradually, with control. We can adjust the force, stop if it gets stuck, and avoid jerks. If the car is too deep or the terrain is really impassable, we go straight to towing with our flatbed. We then take you to a safe place where you can drive off.
While waiting for us: what to do (and not do)
✅ To do:
- ✔ Turn on your hazard lights
- ✔ Get out of the vehicle if you're on a road
- ✔ Note your exact position (GPS, path name)
- ✔ Take photos if possible
❌ Not to do:
- ✗ Don't accelerate – you'll dig in and sink even deeper
- ✗ Don't get a friend to pull with a rope – it's dangerous
- ✗ Don't put boards under the wheels without knowing – they can fly off
Stay calm, we arrive in 30 minutes.
