Towing & Recovery in Kingsford, MI

Kingsford runs right up against the Menominee River, and between the steep grades around town and the steady traffic on W Breitung Avenue, there's always something to get a driver sideways. Slide off into a ditch on a backroad, clip a deer on a residential street, or turn the key in a parking lot off Woodward Ave and get nothing — that's where we come in. FAFO Towing & Recovery is based in Niagara, WI, about 6 miles away, so help is one call away day or night.

Towing Built for Kingsford's Roads

Kingsford towing isn't all freeway work. A lot of what we pull happens on the grades and side streets, not the highway.

Carpenter Avenue is the busy stretch — businesses, parking lots, and the fender-benders and dead batteries that come with a main drag. Head out on M-95 and the pace picks up, which is where a winter slide-off can put a car nose-down in the ditch before the driver knows what happened. The hills around S Westwood Ave and the smaller residential streets add their own trouble: ice on a grade, a little too much speed, and you're in the ditch or up against a curb.

Then there's the deer. Kingsford's in-town deer have gotten used to cars and don't spook the way they should. They'll stand in a lane on a quiet street and stare you down. Folks clip them, swerve into a curb avoiding them, or come around a bend and have no room to stop. We clean up after both — the deer hit and the car that swerved.

What We Do

FAFO handles the full range, year-round:

• Light- and medium-duty towing to the shop or wherever you need it
• Winch-outs and recovery — our bread and butter on Kingsford's grades, getting cars and trucks back up out of the ditch off M-95 and the side streets
• Accident recovery, including the deer-collision cleanups that are common on Kingsford's residential roads
• Roadside assistance — flat tires, fuel delivery, the works
• Jump starts for a battery that quit in a parking lot off Carpenter
• Lockouts when the keys are sitting on the seat
• Heavy-duty and commercial towing for the bigger stuff

Ditch Pulls and Winch-Outs on the Grades

The single most common call we get out of Kingsford is a vehicle stuck or slid off — usually on one of the grades, usually after the weather turns. A wet leaf-covered hill in October or a glazed-over street in February will do the same thing: take a driver off the road and into a ditch. The steep terrain around town means a slide can carry a car further down than you'd expect, so we come prepared to winch from awkward angles and get you back on solid pavement without adding any new dents.
