Towing prices in Knoxville
Every call is different: the distance, the vehicle, the time of day and whether it rolls or not all change the job. These are typical ranges for the Knoxville area so you know what to expect. You always get the exact price on the phone, before we roll.
Flatbed transport usually runs about 20–30% more than a wheel-lift tow. Exact price confirmed before work starts.
We know where Knoxville drivers get stuck
Knoxville sits where I-40 and I-75 meet, so a lot of our calls come from the interstates, the ramps around downtown and the busy commercial strips. Add hilly back roads in North and South Knox County, summer heat that finishes off tired batteries, and the odd winter ice storm, and you get a steady mix of tows, jump starts and winch-outs all year.
On Vols home game days and during peak Smoky Mountain traffic, roads around Neyland Stadium and the routes south toward Sevier County fill up fast. If you break down in heavy traffic, stay in the vehicle with your seatbelt on unless it’s unsafe, and tell us exactly where you are.
Towing questions we hear every day
Do you really tow 24/7 in Knoxville?
Yes. Our line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (865) 417-3481 and tell us where you are and what happened.
How much does a tow cost in Knoxville?
A local tow of up to about 10 miles typically runs $75–$195. Longer tows are usually priced as a hook-up fee of $50–$125 plus $2–$7 per mile. Flatbed transport often costs 20–30% more. We confirm the exact price on the phone before we roll.
Can you tow my car to my own mechanic or dealer?
Yes. You choose where the vehicle goes: your home, your regular shop, a dealer or a body shop. Let us know the address when you call so we can price the trip correctly.
Do I need a flatbed or a regular tow truck?
All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles, lowered or luxury cars, motorcycles and vehicles with serious damage should go on a flatbed. Most front-wheel-drive cars can be towed safely with a wheel-lift. Tell us the make and model and we send the right truck.
What should I do while I wait for the tow truck?
Get off the travel lanes if you can, turn on your hazard lights and stay in a safe spot, away from traffic. On the interstate, it is usually safer to stay in the vehicle with your seatbelt on unless there is smoke, fire or another danger. Keep your phone on so the driver can reach you.
