Motorcycle Towing →Why Choose Us
A Newport Tow Crew That Knows Cocke County Roads
Call us and you're not reaching a national hotline that farms your breakdown out to whichever stranger is closest. Our trucks sit right here in Newport, so we already know the grind up I-40 toward the state line, the fender-benders that stack up on the Pigeon River gorge grade, and the ridge roads past Cosby and Del Rio where your signal bars drop to nothing.
- ✓Cocke County is home turf. Between the interstate corridor, the river gorge, the wooded lanes above Cosby, and the farm stretches around Parrottsville, we usually beat the route your phone hands you.
- ✓The price comes first. You hear the full cost before we ever hook a chain, and nothing gets tacked on when we set you down.
- ✓The correct truck, every call. Roll-backs, wheel-lifts, winch rigs, we match the equipment to whatever is actually stuck.
- ✓Drivers who take their time. Your ride gets the same careful handling whether it's a grocery-getter or a jacked-up 4x4.
- ✓Around the clock, all year. Late nights, Sundays, holidays, we answer the calls other outfits let ring out.
