I was traveling from San Francisco to LA a couple weeks ago and my car hit a retread on the 5 fwy in the middle of nowhere, took out my radiator, and I found myself stranded about 30 min away from the nearest town. I called Firebaugh Towing and was picked up right away by Eric. The goal was to patch the car up so I could make it home, but unfortunately the car needed parts that would have to be special ordered. Not only did they provide me with a fair quote for the work, Eric personally drove me all the way to Fresno so that I could rent a car and make it home. He saved my a** that day lol. Eric and his crew are polite, professional, and honest, and I highly recommend them for your auto or towing needs!!!

I developed a whining noise in my Chevy Tahoe while drive north on I5. It was driving fine so I drive to the next town. Stopped at the Best Western in nowheresville. And was referred to Firebough Towing and auto repair in a near town. I got there right after 5oclock and they were getting ready to close. The receptionist introduced me to Eric the owner and he looks over at my Tahoe and sees my USMC hat on my dash and says "are you a Marine" I said yes Semper Fi. Well Eric was awesome. He had his guys finish up a truck they had on the rack and pulled mine right in. They did some tests and duplicated my concern. Unfortunately after removing the rear differential cover they found damage to the ring gear. He told me that parts availability might be an issue but get your stuff and put it in my truck and he took me to the small hotel in town. He told me he would check on parts and call me in the morning. Well I'm completely satisfied not only knowing I'm being taken care of but but one of my Marine brothers and his crew. I'm sure the rest of this day will be fine knowing that and the store next to the motel has a sign saying they sell fishing tackle and bait. I just gotta find the water. Semper Fi. to Eric at Firebough Towing.

Eric was responsive, honest and beyond great! He went out of his way to help my daughter even though she has a hybrid. The Prius mechanic couldn't even properly diagnose and fix the problem but Eric drove to pick up a part himself and fixed the issue!!! We can't say e Pugh good things about him!!!!

I was driving up the 5 and was having some issues with my engine overheating. Though they were fully booked for the day they took a look, added some coolant, and got me back on the road. I am very grateful for their quality service.

Today these guys save my butt. I went out for a sweet shooting trip at tumey hills. And it started pouring rain! Before I could pack up I tried to move my truck only to get wedged into a ditch. These guys were responsive quick, and kept me from having to camp overnight. The terrain was muddy and I had doubts they could help. But they managed to get me out in 30 mins. Lesson learned check the weather. But if needed call firebaugh!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Firebaugh Towing or Ben who helped me out when my car broke down on I-5 in the middle of the night on a Saturday. No other towing company was open. I was on my way to SF so I needed to get to a hotel room and get my car fixed. I had never been in the area and without Uber/Lyft and most auto repair shops closed in the area on sundays, I didn't know what I was gonna do. Luckily, Ben not only had his driver tow my car to his shop, he had me dropped off at the hotel, then picked me up himself to take me to his shop to get my car. I wish more people were dedicated to their work like these guys.

Nacho helped when my car stopped starting. He was helpful and very professional. You can tell he really takes pride in his job, I would be honored if I had an employee like him.

Our company truck broke down, 30 miles outside of Firebaugh (we were traveling from Texas to California for work). I called Firebaugh Towing, they were the best. Best in helpfulness, attitude, professionalism. They towed us in, got the necessary parts did the repair and got my guys back on the road in record time. We have had breakdowns in the past many years and always pay a huge price and been taken advantage of, this company took great care of us,They are top notch in our book . Thank you Firebaugh Towing!!!Services: General repairs & maintenance

Would not recommend the use of this company if I could give them 0 stars I would, but to each their own do your research on them first. I ignored all the poor reviews since there is always people who try to bash businesses for no reason, well I was wrong. I called this company at exactly 4:33pm for a tow quote from Firebaugh to Madera, the secretary told me $150 I told her I’d give her a call back because I wanted to see if I’d find somewhere cheaper. I didn’t end up finding anything so I called them back at 4:59pm keep in mind I already called for the quote so I already knew what the charge was, I explained to her where I was never asked about the charge again since we already talked about it. Guy comes to pick up my truck, tells me we have to make a stop at their business because his boss (the owner) was going to do the tow no big deal that’s fine. The owner gets in the tow trucks greets me, makes small talk, I thought to myself very friendly guy all those reviews were bs but boy was I wrong. We get to the location he drops my truck & I give him the money $150 as I was quoted when I called at 4:33pm. He proceeded to tell me that $100 was missing, I told him his secretary quoted me $150 he replies with “I’m the owner I think I know how much the tows are” & “I was there when she quoted you” I asked him if he was there the first time I called when she quoted me @4:33pm HE LITERALLY PLAYED HIMSELF AT THAT POINT because he told he wasn’t, he was there when I called at 4:59pm as I stated above we didn’t discuss the tow charge again because that was already done. I’m not going to lie owner was rude but I wasn’t going to let myself get overcharged for something I was already quoted on, we exchanged a few words said he was gonna call the cops three times & that he was going to tow my truck never did though I’m assuming he knew what he was doing. It was obvious he wasn’t going to leave without the $100 he was overcharging me, ended up paying him that money he left happy. I’m not here to make threats or to scare anyone, I’m sharing my experience with this company. Since this happened I went deeper into their reviews and noticed I’m not the first person this company has done this to! RICHARD S on Yelp review: “Do not under any circumstances call this company they quoted me over the phone $250.00 to tow my truck 3.7 miles. After picking up my vehicle and dropping it off at mechanic shop they charged me $300.00 dollars yelling at me saying I wasn't quoted that price. Hopefully you're never in an emergency and in need of a tow around this area. AGAIN DO NOT CALL!!!!!!!” I REALLY HOPE NO ONE ELSE GOES THROUGH THIS, PLEASE USE THIS COMPANY AS YOUR LAST CHOICE OR JUST DONT USE AT ALL.

These guys are a rip off. They charge an "arm and a leg" for their service. Our vehicle broke down on Highway 5 near Firebaugh. These guys were the only ones around. They towed our vehicle to their shop for service but was not able to get an estimate until Monday, two days later. We were charged $15/day for storage. How outrageous! We were stranded because we needed a vehicle to continue our trip. The owner, Ben, charged us $150 to drive to Fresno Airport to rent a car. That is double the Uber rate. On our way to the airport, the vehicle we were riding in died. We had to wait another 45 minutes for another vehicle. No apology or other compensation. They could have at least waived the 2-day, $30 vehicle storage fees for the inconvenience of their broken down car to the airport. In total, we were delayed 5 hours in waiting for their tow to the shop, driving to the airport, waiting for another vehicle in lieu of their broken down one, and renting a car. What a waste of time and poor service from this towing service, mechanic and "Uber". If you want to be ripped off and waste your time, this is the place!! Worse auto mechanic business and towing service that I have ever encountered.
