Towing & Recovery in Pembine, WI

Pembine sits where US-141 meets US-8, up in the north end of Marinette County. It's a junction town with deep logging and railroad roots, and a lot of fast highway running through wooded country where the deer don't give you much warning. FAFO Towing & Recovery covers Pembine 24/7, year-round, so when one of those highways or back roads leaves you stranded, help is one call away.

Towing Built for Pembine's Roads

US-141 is the road that defines Pembine, and the deer are the reason it stays busy for us. They come out of the ditches fast along that stretch — by the time you've seen one, you're already on top of it. We pull a steady stream of vehicles that met a deer on 141 with no time to react, and most of them aren't driving away afterward. Where US-141 ties into US-8, the through-traffic picks up too, and through-traffic means breakdowns and accidents that don't keep regular hours.

In town and just off the highway, the trouble settles down but doesn't stop. North Street and the streets around the old train depot see the everyday calls — a dead battery, a flat, keys locked in the cab while you grabbed a bite at Winters' Family Restaurant. Out on Old Highway 141 toward Kremlin Road and out along Cemetery Road, it's quieter, more rural, and when winter sets in those are the kind of roads where a slick patch or a late plow puts a vehicle off the shoulder and into the trees.

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 shoulders, and snowy back roads
• Accident recovery — including the deer strikes that come constant on US-141
• Heavy-duty and commercial — bigger rigs, bigger pulls

Two of these earn their keep in Pembine more than the rest. Accident recovery is the big one, because the deer on US-141 never let up — clip one and we'll clear your vehicle off the road and tow it wherever it needs to go, drivable or not. And winch-outs come right behind it: a deer that sends you swerving, or an icy back road out toward Kremlin or Cemetery Road, can put you in the ditch in a hurry, and that's a pull we run all season.

Deer Strikes and Cold-Weather Calls on US-141

If there's one call that comes out of Pembine more than any other, it's a deer on US-141. They step out of the brush at the edge of the ditch and they're in your lane before you can do anything about it. We've cleared a lot of vehicles off that highway, and we treat it as routine — get to you fast, get you out of traffic, and tow you to a shop or home depending on the shape your vehicle's in. If you've hit one and you're not sure whether it's drivable, don't risk it; call and we'll come look.

The cold brings its own work. When the snow and ice move in, the rural roads around Pembine don't always get plowed early, and a vehicle that slides off out past town isn't always coming back out on its own. A swerve to miss a deer plus a slick shoulder is a common combination up here. Whatever put you off the road, we've got the gear to winch you back onto solid pavement without adding new damage.
