Dixon is a farm town of about 20,000 just across the Yolo–Solano county line, and Interstate 80 runs straight through it. Most of the traffic is passing through: Bay Area and Sacramento commuters, big rigs, and weekend travelers heading to Tahoe. Off the freeway, the town is surrounded by flat farmland and a grid of rural roads, and every spring the Dixon May Fair brings crowds and parking-lot traffic into town.
Most breakdowns here happen on I-80 itself, where traffic is fast and shoulders are busy. The two details that matter most when you call are your direction of travel (eastbound toward Davis and Sacramento, or westbound toward Vacaville and the Bay) and the last exit you passed, such as Pedrick Road, North First Street or Pitt School Road. Get both right and the truck comes up the correct side of the freeway the first time.

Dixon Towing FAQs
I broke down on I-80 near Dixon. What do I tell the operator?
Your direction of travel, the last exit you passed, and anything you can see: an overpass, a sign, a business. If you can, drop a pin in your phone’s map app and share it. Then stay buckled in if the shoulder is narrow.
Can I get towed from Dixon to a shop in Davis or Vacaville?
Yes. Tell the operator where the car should go when you call. The hookup rate covers the first few miles, and the rest is per mile, so you will know the total before anyone is dispatched.
My car won’t start in a parking lot at the May Fair. Can someone come to me?
Yes. Give the lot name or the nearest gate. A jump start usually solves it on the spot, and a tow is only needed if the car still won’t run.
