We gladly accept cash — just let us know when you call.
We get it: cash is king. Houghton Lake Off-Road Recovery gladly accepts cash payments for off-road recovery services. However, before we travel to your location, most service calls require an electronic deposit or minimum-service payment to confirm the request.
Why a Deposit May Be Required
Off-road recovery calls often involve travel time, fuel, equipment, and time away from other potential calls. A deposit helps confirm that the service request is legitimate before we dispatch to your location.
This is especially important for remote trail calls, after-hours calls, winter recoveries, long-distance travel, water recoveries, or situations where special equipment may be needed.
Any electronically paid deposit can be applied toward your final service total. If appropriate, the deposit may also be refunded or reversed based on the situation.
Paying the Balance in Cash
If you prefer to pay the remaining balance in cash, please tell us when you call or text. We will explain the deposit amount, estimated service cost, and available payment options before we head your way.
Once the required deposit or minimum-service payment is received, the remaining balance may usually be paid in cash after the service is completed.
Electronic Payment Options
For deposits, minimum-service payments, or full electronic payment, we may accept options such as:
- Tap to Pay through Square
- Cash App
- Apple Cash
- PayPal
- Other approved electronic payment methods when available
Available payment methods may vary depending on the situation.
Every Recovery Is Different
Every off-road recovery situation is unique. Distance, trail conditions, weather, vehicle condition, water, mud, snow, sand, and required equipment can all affect the final price.
Our goal is to provide clear communication, fair pricing, and safe recovery service whenever possible.
