Oak Ridge, TN · dispatched from Knoxville · 24/7
Towing in Oak Ridge, TN
Oak Ridge is its own city west of the Clinch River, in Anderson County and Roane County. Knoxville traffic reaches it on Oak Ridge Highway or across Pellissippi from Solway. In town, the Turnpike and Illinois Avenue carry the calls.
Getting a Truck to the Right Spot in Oak Ridge
The Turnpike is a long commercial road. A breakdown in front of the stores is a city tow. A breakdown on SR-95 headed for the interstate is a highway tow. Say which pavement you are actually on.
We stay on public streets. If the vehicle is inside a gated or badged entrance, say that before anyone is sent. A truck cannot sort out a secured gate on arrival.
Send Us a Message
Call if the vehicle is in traffic. This form is for a later quote, a lot authorization, or a follow-up.
Day or night
24 Hour Towing in Oak Ridge
Oak Ridge emergencies split into two kinds: a car on the Turnpike in town, and a car on SR-95 or SR-62 on the way in. Say which, and say if a gate is between the truck and the vehicle. We work public roads. The phone is the Knoxville desk, and it is answered overnight.

How a Oak Ridge Call Is Handled
One Knoxville desk

Oak Ridge Turnpike, Illinois Avenue, SR-62 from Solway, and SR-95 toward I-40.
Price before the wheels roll
Including calls that come in after the businesses along the main road have closed.
No counter to visit
We meet the vehicle. Do not look for a street address to drive to.
What We Move in Oak Ridge
Cars, pickups, SUVs, motorcycles, and light commercial trucks. Say if a trailer is still attached.
Cars
Commuter cars and crossovers along Oak Ridge Turnpike.
Trucks
Pickups and work trucks. Diesels need a pack built for them, so mention it.

Cargo vans and short box trucks. Give the length when you call.
Towing Jobs in Oak Ridge
Emergency Towing
Knoxville does not go quiet at midnight. The overlap through West Knoxville, the I-640 loop, and Alcoa Highway still have cars on the shoulder. A dispatcher answers, and you hear a price before anyone is sent.
Learn more →Accident Towing
A crash tow has two jobs: clear the lane, and leave a record a shop or an insurer can use. The driver photographs the car before it moves.
Learn more →Flatbed Towing
When all four wheels need to be off the ground, the truck is a flatbed. That is the usual load for all-wheel drive, a missing wheel, or a car too low for a wheel-lift.
Learn more →Long-Distance Towing
Some vehicles should not be driven another exit, let alone another city. A long tow from Knoxville follows I-40, I-75, or whichever route actually reaches the address you give.
Learn more →Private Property Towing
A vehicle blocking a fire lane, or sitting in an assigned space after the property has already given notice, is a private-property tow. It happens only when the person who controls the lot authorizes that vehicle.
Learn more →Winch-Out
A winch-out is for a vehicle that is no longer on the pavement: a soft shoulder, a ditch, mud after a storm, or a car that will not roll onto a bed.

Vehicle Lockout
Keys in the car at Market Square, in a Turkey Creek row, or in a campus lot are a lockout when the car itself does not need a tow.
Learn more →Jump Start
If the engine will not crank and the vehicle is somewhere a technician can stand safely, a jump start is the job. If it starts and then dies, the conversation turns into a tow.
Learn more →Fuel Delivery
Fuel delivery is a few gallons of the fuel you name, enough to reach a station. It is not a full tank, and it is not priced like the pump.
Learn more →Flat Tire Change
A usable spare turns a flat into a roadside change. A missing spare, a shredded spare, or a bent wheel turns it into a flatbed ride to a tire shop you choose.
Learn more →Where the Roads Pinch in Oak Ridge
Illinois Avenue runs in from the Turnpike toward the center of town. Parking rows there are ordinary roadside calls when the car is on a public lot.
SR-95 leaves the city toward I-40 and Lenoir City and crosses Melton Hill Lake. A stall on that bridge needs the direction you were heading.
Pellissippi Parkway is the east approach from Knox County. It meets SR-62 at Solway before you are in Oak Ridge. If you are still on the parkway, say so.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the price change because the car is in Oak Ridge rather than downtown Knoxville?
The number you hear is for the job in front of you, including how far Oak Ridge is from the truck and what the vehicle is doing. It is quoted before anyone is sent, including calls after midnight. If the scene does not match, dispatch calls before the work changes.
I am not sure of the cross street in Oak Ridge. What should I look for?
Use the roads drivers actually name there: Oak Ridge Turnpike, Illinois Avenue, SR-62 from Solway, and SR-95 toward I-40. A direction of travel helps on a ramp. A store, a bridge, or a signal helps on a surface street.
Which Oak Ridge roads should I name when I call?
Start with Oak Ridge Turnpike, Illinois Avenue, SR-62 from Solway, and SR-95 toward I-40. Add the direction you were heading if you are on a ramp.
Can the vehicle go from Oak Ridge to a shop in Knoxville?
Yes, when that is the drop you want. Name the shop on the call so the distance is inside the quote. We do not pick a shop for you.
