What Determines the Cost of a Tow in Atlanta?

Anyone quoting a flat price before hearing your situation is guessing. Here's what actually drives the number.

Towing prices vary because tows vary. A car rolling freely in a flat parking lot two miles from the shop is a different job than a vehicle stuck in a parking deck at 1 AM that needs to travel forty miles. We won't publish a flat rate that wouldn't be honest for your call.

Distance

The biggest single factor. A short local tow and a long-distance tow out of the metro are fundamentally different jobs in fuel, time and routing.

Where the vehicle is

  • Open parking lot versus a parking deck with height limits.
  • Interstate shoulder with heavy traffic versus a quiet residential street.
  • Whether the truck can get close enough to load safely.
  • Whether the pickup requires working around other parked vehicles.

The vehicle and its condition

Size and clearance matter, and so does condition. A car that rolls, steers and shifts to neutral loads differently than one that does none of those. Low-clearance vehicles need a more careful approach — one of our customers specifically noted the care taken with his lowered car.

Service type and circumstances

A jump start, a tire change and a tow are separate services. Time of day, traffic and weather affect how long a job takes. Atlanta traffic in particular can make a short tow a long assignment.

How to get a real answer

Call with four pieces of information: where you are, where the vehicle needs to go, the vehicle's year/make/model, and what happened. Call (404) 915-3463 for service information about your situation.
