What is winching, and how is it different from a tow?
Winching is pulling a vehicle back onto solid ground with a cable and drum, rather than lifting and hauling it. A tow moves your car somewhere else. Winching a car just gets it unstuck where it sits, so if it drives fine once it is out, that is the whole job and there is no tow to pay for.
Does a tow truck have a winch on it?
The recovery trucks used for this work do. A tow truck with a winch runs an integrated drum and steel cable rated for the vehicle's weight, plus snatch blocks and straps for angled pulls. That is not the same as a strap on a bumper, which is how bumpers and frame rails get bent.
