Your vehicle rides to your shop, the dealer, or home — you pick the drop. What we quoted on the phone is what you settle up, with nothing tacked on at the end.
What We Do
Towing & Roadside Services in Monteagle, TN
Hooks, lockouts, boosts, and ditch pulls — handled from the interstate grade over the mountain out to the backroads around Tracy City and Coalmont. Every rig shows up stocked to wrap the job in one stop.
Flatbed Towing — Monteagle TN
Roll-back flatbed hauling that keeps all four wheels off the pavement — the right call for AWD and 4x4 rigs, lowered cars, and anything you'd rather not drag down the mountain.
Flatbed Towing →Wheel-Lift Towing
A quick, budget-friendly hook for everyday front- and rear-drive cars headed to a nearby shop — handy when you just need to clear the I-24 shoulder in a hurry.
Wheel-Lift Towing →Lockout Service — Monteagle TN
Keys shut in the car at the Assembly grounds or on the interstate shoulder? We pop it open with the proper tools — no locksmith markup, no long wait to get back behind the wheel.
Lockout Service →Roadside Assistance
Dead battery, a flat on the shoulder, an engine that ran hot on the climb — we roll to you anywhere in Grundy County and sort it right there so you can get moving again.
Roadside Assistance →Fuel Delivery — Monteagle TN
Coasted to empty on I-24 or a gravel county road? We bring gas out to you — enough in the tank to reach the next pump, no tow bill required.
Fuel Delivery →Winch-Out & Recovery
Slid into a ditch, buried in mud, or hung up off a mountain road toward Cowan or Gruetli-Laager? We bring the winch and cable and pull you back onto solid ground.
Winch-Out & Recovery →Emergency Towing
Wreck cleanup, a car stalled in a live lane, or a breakdown on the grade — we roll a truck the moment you call, whatever the hour on the clock.
Emergency Towing →Jump Start Service
Battery won't turn it over? We show up with a heavy-duty booster pack, get you running, and confirm the charge holds before we pull away.
Jump Start Service →Motorcycle Towing
Bikes ride flat on the deck, locked in a front wheel chock and cinched down with soft straps — never chains against the paint or chrome.
Motorcycle Towing →Why Choose Us
A Monteagle Tow Crew That Knows These Mountain Roads
We're not a toll-free booking desk that farms your breakdown out to whoever happens to be closest. Our trucks are parked up here on the mountain, so we already know the I-24 grade and its runaway ramps, the spots where brakes and engines give out on the long drop toward Cowan and Pelham, and the plateau lanes past Sewanee and Tracy City where a phone map quietly gives up.
- ✓We know Grundy County by feel. From the interstate grade and the runaway ramps to the plateau roads past Sewanee and the drop into the valley toward Pelham, we take the quickest line to you — not whatever the app suggests.
- ✓The price comes first. You hear what the tow costs before the hook ever touches your vehicle, and that number doesn't grow when we unload.
- ✓The right truck, not just any truck. Roll-back flatbeds, wheel-lifts, and winch rigs — we match the equipment to what you're driving and where it's stuck.
- ✓Drivers who take their time loading. Your vehicle gets handled the same careful way whether it's a work commuter or a lifted 4x4 on big tires.
- ✓Someone answers at 3 a.m. Late nights, weekends, holidays — we pick up on the shifts when other outfits let it ring.
Customer Reviews
What Monteagle Drivers Say
★★★★★
"Blew a tire on I-24 right at the top of the mountain with both my kids in the back seat. The driver set out cones, changed it on the shoulder while I kept them clear of traffic, and had us rolling in maybe twenty minutes. Calm and kind the whole time."
KT
Kayla T.
★★★★★
"Locked my keys in the truck up at Sewanee after a Saturday game and figured nobody would pick up at 10 at night. A real person did — a driver was in the lot within the half hour and popped the door open without leaving a mark."
BH
Brandon H.
★★★★★
"Battery died in the Walmart lot right off the interstate. They rolled up with a booster, got me started, then actually checked it would hold before leaving instead of just taking my money and going. Fair price, no runaround."
DP
Denise P.
★★★★★
"Slid off a wet county road outside Tracy City and buried the front end in the ditch. The recovery driver knew the road, hooked the winch, and pulled me out clean without tearing up the bumper. Quoted me before he ever started."
WC
Wesley C.
★★★★★
"Ran the tank dry coming home from Chattanooga and coasted onto the shoulder near Coalmont. One phone call and they brought out enough gas to reach a station. Turned a bad night into a twenty-minute wait."
MD
Marcus D.
★★★★★
"My old F-150 quit on TN-29 by Pelham and needed to get to my mechanic in town. The flatbed showed up, loaded it careful, and it got there without a scratch. This is who I'll be calling from now on."

Towing FAQs — Monteagle, TN
Answers to the most common questions we hear from drivers in Monteagle and Grundy County.
What a tow runs comes down to how far, what you're driving, and which service you need. A typical local hook inside Grundy County lands somewhere around $75–$150. You get that figure up front, before we touch the vehicle, and it holds at drop-off. Call (423) 583-9746 for a quote on your situation.
Our regular run covers Monteagle, Sewanee, Tracy City, Cowan, Pelham, Coalmont, and Gruetli-Laager, reaching into Grundy, Franklin, Coffee, Sequatchie, and Marion counties — plus the whole I-24 climb over the mountain.

The phone is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, weekends and most holidays included. Ring (423) 583-9746 any hour and a live dispatcher — not a machine — picks up.
Anything all-wheel or four-wheel drive, sitting low, expensive, or on two wheels belongs on a flatbed — every wheel comes off the road and the drivetrain stays safe. A normal front- or rear-drive car usually does fine on a wheel-lift. Not certain which you have? Describe it when you call and we'll steer you right.
Ease over as far onto the right shoulder as you can, flip the hazards on right away, and stay buckled inside if interstate traffic is moving fast. Call (423) 583-9746 and tell us which direction you're headed plus the nearest mile marker or exit. Our I-24 breakdown guide walks through the whole checklist.
