Geometry, mostly. The reservoir roads — Fall Creek, Olio south of 104th, the loop lanes — are narrow, curved and shoulderless in stretches, which makes a dead car a live problem fast. We position for the road: cones out, lights up, quick hooks. The second Geist specialty is the driveway winch-out — steep waterside drives plus the first ice of December generate a very predictable week of calls. And in summer, boat trailers: bearing failures and blowouts on the way to the ramp, handled with the same flatbed logic as anything else that rolls.
Narrow-road recoveries are about positioning before they're about pulling.
Common Geist work
Shoulderless-road breakdowns — priority dispatch, scene lighting, fast clears.
Steep-driveway and lawn winch-outs — ice season's greatest hits, done without trenching your yard.
Boat trailer rescue — blowouts, bearings, and the occasional ramp mishap.
EV and luxury flatbedding — the Geist garages skew nice; the loading skews careful.
