Arbuckle is a community of about 3,000 in southern Colusa County, on Interstate 5 north of Dunnigan and south of Williams. It is surrounded by almond orchards and farmland, and I-5 through here carries a heavy load of long-haul trucks and travelers between Sacramento and Redding.
This is the stretch of I-5 where an exact location matters most. Exits are miles apart, there are few buildings, and one row of orchard looks a lot like the next. When you call, give your direction of travel (northbound toward Williams or southbound toward Dunnigan), the last exit you passed, and the number on the nearest mile marker if one is in view. A pin dropped from your phone’s map app is the most precise of all. Arbuckle is a long way from Woodland, so the operator will tell you a realistic arrival time when you call.

Arbuckle Towing FAQs
I broke down on I-5 near Arbuckle. How do I tell the operator where I am?
Direction of travel, the last exit you passed, and the nearest mile marker number. If you can, drop a pin in your phone’s map app and share it. Then stay buckled in unless there is a safe place to wait behind a barrier.
Will a tow from Arbuckle cost more?
The hookup rate is the same, but longer distances add $3 to $5 per mile. Ask for the total to your destination before you agree, and consider a closer shop if the car just needs a basic repair.
Can a car be fixed on the spot instead of towed?
Often. Dead batteries, flats with a usable spare and empty tanks are usually handled roadside for $50 to $100, which is much cheaper than a long tow.
