Towing & Recovery in Florence, WI

Florence is lake country. US-2 runs through the heart of it, but most of what gets a driver in trouble out here happens off the highway — the back roads winding past Keyes Lake and Fisher Lake, the steep driveways down to the cottages, and the ATV and logging trails that look fine until you're axle-deep. FAFO Towing & Recovery covers Florence 24/7, and we know these roads, so when you call we're not hunting blind for you in the dark.

Towing Built for Florence's Roads

US-2 is the main line through Florence, and it sees its share of trouble — breakdowns, slide-offs, and above all deer. The deer out here aren't a once-in-a-while thing; they're a daily hazard, and a strike on US-2 or any of the wooded stretches around town usually means a tow, not a drive home. We pull plenty of vehicles that came around a bend and had no room to stop.

Off the highway is where Florence gets its own flavor of stuck. Fisher Lake Road runs out toward the water and the cottages, and the grades down to those lake houses are steep enough that a little ice or snow turns a normal driveway into a slide. Up in town along Chapin Street it's the everyday stuff — a dead battery, a flat, keys locked in the cab outside Pat's Foods. And then there are the trails: this is ATV and logging country, and a truck or side-by-side that wanders off solid ground and into the soft stuff isn't backing out on its own.

Our Services

• Light- and medium-duty towing — cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans
• Roadside assistance — jump starts, tire changes, fuel delivery
• Lockouts — keys shut in the cab, common on quick stops in town
• Winch-outs and recovery — ditches, soft trails, snowy grades, and lake-road shoulders
• Accident recovery — including the deer strikes that come constant out here
• Heavy-duty and commercial — bigger rigs, bigger pulls

Two of these earn their keep in Florence more than the rest. Accident recovery is a steady call because the deer never let up — clip one on US-2 or a back road and we'll clear your vehicle and tow it wherever it needs to go. And winch-outs are the other workhorse: the ATV and logging trails around Florence, plus the steep grades down to the lake houses on Fisher Lake Road, plant vehicles all season long. If your tires are spinning and you're going nowhere, that's our call.

Trail Pulls, Lake-House Grades, and Late-Plowed Back Roads

Florence has a lot of road that doesn't see a plow until well after the storm. A back road out toward the lakes can handle fine in the morning and have you in the ditch by dark once the snow sets in and the grade turns slick. The driveways and access roads to the cottages are the worst of it — short, steep, and iced over, the kind of spot where a vehicle slides down easy and won't climb back up. We come prepared to winch from awkward angles and get you back on solid ground without adding new dents.

The trails are their own job. ATV and logging trails are everywhere around here, and it's easy to follow one a little too far, hit soft ground or a washed-out spot, and bury a wheel. Whether it's a side-by-side, a pickup, or something you took further in than you meant to, stay put and call — we've got the gear and the angles to pull you out.
