Learn MoreYou call, we pick up. Tell the dispatcher your location, vehicle type, and what happened - whether it is a disabled truck on I-80 or a rollover near the Cordelia Junction. The more detail you can give, the faster we route the right truck. We respond within 1 business day for non-emergency inquiries, and immediately for active roadside situations.
When our crew arrives, they walk the scene before touching anything. They check the vehicle position, ground conditions, load status, and fluid hazards. Then they explain the plan and the cost before a single strap goes on. You are never surprised by the bill. If additional equipment is needed, they tell you why before calling it in.
The crew completes the recovery or hookup and transports your vehicle to the destination you choose - repair shop, fleet yard, dealership, or storage. You get an itemized invoice at drop-off. If your vehicle is going to a storage facility, we make sure you have the address and contact information before the truck leaves the scene.
We carry the licensing and insurance required by California for heavy commercial towing and recovery operations. You can ask to verify credentials before work begins - that is a reasonable request and a sign of a trustworthy company.
You get a clear written estimate before any work starts. No surprise line items, no charges you did not agree to. If the scope changes during the job, we tell you before we proceed - not at payment time.
We know the I-80 corridor, the Cordelia Junction interchange, Highway 12, and every local industrial road in Solano County. That local knowledge cuts response time and means the crew arrives prepared for the actual terrain - not guessing from a map.
Our dispatch runs around the clock, every day of the year. We operate through the dense tule fog that shuts down visibility on I-80 in winter, and through the triple-digit summer heat that spikes blowouts along the Solano County corridor.
Questions before you call? Send us a message and we will respond within 1 business day.
"My semi blew a tire and went off the shoulder on I-80 eastbound near the Cordelia exit. The crew was on scene in under 40 minutes and had the rig back on the road surface before I could finish my call to dispatch. They knew exactly where my recovery points were - no guessing."
Marcus D., Vacaville - Heavy duty towing
"Rear-ended on I-680 during a foggy morning commute and my car ended up against the barrier. The recovery team got to me fast, walked me through where the car was going, and gave me an itemized receipt on the spot. Made the insurance claim straightforward."
Priya M., Benicia - Accident recovery
"We run three delivery vans out of Fairfield and set up an account after one of our drivers got stuck without a number to call at 11 p.m. Having them on file means the next time a van goes down, the driver makes one call and the right truck shows up."

Fairfield Heavy Duty Towing is based in Fairfield, CA and serves 12 communities across Solano and Contra Costa counties - including Vacaville, Vallejo, and Napa. We cover the full I-80 and I-680 corridors and can typically reach most service area locations quickly. Same-week scheduling is available for non-emergency transport and storage inquiries.
If your vehicle is upright and accessible, a standard tow usually applies. If it has left the road, rolled, or is wedged against a barrier, recovery equipment is required first. Using a standard tow truck in a recovery situation risks additional frame damage and is unsafe for the crew.
A loaded semi can weigh 80,000 lbs. Standard tow trucks are rated for passenger cars and light trucks. Using undersized equipment on a heavy commercial vehicle risks damaging the rig, injuring the crew, and creating a road hazard. Always confirm the company has proper heavy-duty capacity.
California allows cities and counties to set rate caps on non-consensual tows requested by law enforcement. For direct calls, rates are set by the provider. The California DMV provides consumer information on towing rights. Always ask for a written estimate before work begins.
Dense tule fog from late fall through early spring reduces visibility to near zero on the I-80 corridor. Multi-vehicle incidents spike during fog events, increasing demand and sometimes extending wait times. Operators working fog-related scenes use additional warning lights and coordinate with CHP traffic control before approaching any vehicle.
A winch-out pulls a vehicle that is stuck or off-road back to a drivable surface, often without full transport. A full recovery involves more complex work - uprighting a rollover, extracting a vehicle from a ditch or embankment, or stabilizing a vehicle before it can be moved at all. Cost and time differ significantly between the two.
Look for California licensing for the vehicle weight class, liability insurance for commercial operations, and operators with recognized heavy-duty towing and recovery training. The Towing and Recovery Association of America offers a National Driver Certification Program that many professional operators complete.
Fairfield Heavy Duty Towing is a licensed and insured towing service company based in Fairfield, CA, serving 12 communities across Solano and Contra Costa counties since 2018. We hold the licensing required by California for towing and recovery operations, including heavy commercial vehicle work. Our operators are trained for the demands of heavy duty towing and recovery, not just standard car towing.
Since 2018, we have responded to breakdowns and incidents across the I-80 and I-680 corridors, worked alongside CHP on rotation calls, and built fleet accounts with carriers and logistics companies who need a reliable provider on call before a truck goes down. We handle 16 distinct service types, from flatbed transport to rotator-assisted heavy recovery.
Learn more about our team and qualificationsIf warning lights are on, fluids are leaking, or the handling feels wrong, driving the vehicle can make the damage worse and is unsafe. A flatbed transport protects a compromised drivetrain or suspension during transit to the shop.
A loaded trailer changes the rigging approach and may require cargo to be offloaded before the vehicle can be safely moved. Tell the dispatcher whether the vehicle is loaded and what it carries - especially if cargo is hazardous or time-sensitive.
In California, law enforcement-ordered tows are subject to local rate caps. The California Highway Patrol can explain the applicable rules and rate limits for CHP-dispatched tows on state highways.

Fairfield is the county seat of Solano County, sitting roughly halfway between San Francisco and Sacramento along Interstate 80, one of the busiest freight corridors in Northern California. With a population well over 100,000, it is one of the larger cities in the North Bay region and a significant commercial hub for the surrounding communities.
The city is home to several landmarks that define its character. Travis Air Force Base occupies the eastern edge of Fairfield and is one of the largest air mobility bases in the country, bringing a steady stream of military personnel and families to the area. Downtown Fairfield - with city hall, the county courthouse, and the city's oldest residential neighborhoods - anchors the historic core, while newer suburban tracts from the 1980s and 1990s extend outward toward the freeway corridor. Rockville Hills Regional Park on the west side offers open space and trail access against the backdrop of oak-covered hills.
Fairfield's position on I-80 - carrying heavy commercial truck trafficbetween the Bay Area and Sacramento daily - combined with the seasonal challenges of dense tule fog in winter and triple-digit summer heat means vehicle breakdowns and incidents on local roads and highways are a regular occurrence. Fairfield Heavy Duty Towing has operated in this corridor since 2018, covering both the freeway interchanges and the local industrial and residential streets across every part of the city.
