Anyone can put a truck on the road and call themselves a towing company. What actually matters is whether they show up quickly, know the area, and operate within the law. We're fully licensed and insured to operate in Tennessee, our drivers live and work in Washington, Carter, and Sullivan counties, and our average response time runs about 30 minutes, faster inside city limits. That combination is what separates a real towing company from someone with a truck and a hitch.
Fast Response
Average 30-minute response time across Johnson City and Washington County.
Local Experts
We know these roads, from the I-26/I-81 interchange to ETSU campus streets.
Licensed & Insured
Fully licensed in Tennessee, equipped with modern towing equipment.
Full-Vehicle Towing
This is towing in the traditional sense: your vehicle can't be driven, and it needs to get from where it is to where it needs to be, a repair shop, an accident scene, a scheduled relocation, or across the region entirely. We use flatbed or wheel-lift equipment depending on your vehicle's condition and drivetrain, and we handle everything from a routine breakdown a few blocks from home to a multi-county move for a business fleet. If your car, truck, or SUV needs to be transported rather than fixed roadside, this is the category it falls under.
Emergency Towing
24/7 response for breakdowns, accidents, and disabled vehicles.
Local Towing
Short-distance towing across Johnson City, Jonesborough, and Gray.
Accident Recovery
Insurance-coordinated recovery after a collision.
Flatbed Towing
Damage-free transport for low-clearance, AWD, and EV vehicles.
Commercial & Heavy-Duty Towing
Box trucks, work vans, and heavier commercial vehicles.
Corporate Fleet Towing
Priority dispatch and billing for business fleet accounts.
Quick Fixes That Don't Need a Tow
Not every roadside problem requires a full tow. A dead battery, a flat tire, an empty tank, keys locked inside, a vehicle stuck in a ditch, or a low EV battery can usually be resolved right where you are, often in less time than it would take to arrange a tow truck. These six services exist specifically so you're not paying for, or waiting on, a full tow when a quick fix on the roadside gets you moving just as effectively.
Roadside Assistance
See all six roadside services in one place.
Jump Start
Dead battery? Flat rate, $50.
Flat Tire Change
Spare-tire swap on the spot. Flat rate, $60.
Fuel Delivery
Out of gas? $50 + cost of fuel.
Car Lockout Service
Non-destructive entry. Flat rate, $55.
Winch-Out Service
Stuck in a ditch, mud, or snow. From $95.
EV Roadside Charging
Mobile charging brought to you. From $65.
Specialty & One-Off Services
These three don't fit neatly into towing or roadside assistance, they're built around specific situations rather than everyday breakdowns. Classic car towing exists because a collector vehicle needs different handling than a daily driver. Flatbed hauling exists because sometimes what needs to move isn't a vehicle at all, it's equipment, machinery, or something like a heavy safe that can't be lifted by hand. Junk car removal exists because an old vehicle taking up space isn't an emergency, it's a cleanup job, often one that costs you nothing if you have the title.
