Powell, TN · dispatched from Knoxville · 24/7
Towing in Powell, TN
Powell is the Clinton Highway crossroads at Emory Road, with I-75 exit 112 on the west side of that light. Morning traffic stacks toward downtown. Evening traffic stacks back north.
Getting a Truck to the Right Spot in Powell
Clinton Highway is a signalized commercial road, not a shoulder-friendly interstate. A stalled car in a left-turn lane blocks the only protected turn at the Powell light.
Exit 112 puts you on Emory Road a short distance from the highway. If you are on the ramp rather than at the traffic light, say so. The truck uses a different approach for each.

Cars, pickups, SUVs, motorcycles, and light commercial trucks. Say if a trailer is still attached.
Cars
Commuter cars and crossovers along Clinton Highway (US-25W).

Towing Jobs in Powell
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 Powell
Callahan Drive, I-75 exit 110, is the next interchange south, already out of the Powell crossroads and into north Knoxville. Name it if that is the ramp you used.
East of the crossroads, Emory Road continues toward Halls. The shoulder gets less forgiving as the stores thin out.
Beaver Creek runs through this valley. After a hard rain, a car that left the pavement along the creek bottom needs a winch, not a wheel-lift.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the price change because the car is in Powell rather than downtown Knoxville?
The number you hear is for the job in front of you, including how far Powell 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 Powell. What should I look for?
Use the roads drivers actually name there: Clinton Highway (US-25W), Emory Road, and I-75 at exit 112. A direction of travel helps on a ramp. A store, a bridge, or a signal helps on a surface street.
Which Powell roads should I name when I call?
Start with Clinton Highway (US-25W), Emory Road, and I-75 at exit 112. Add the direction you were heading if you are on a ramp.
Can the vehicle go from Powell 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.
