About Newport Towing

Who We Are

Newport Towing is a family-run wrecker and roadside outfit working out of Cocke County, right where the land starts climbing into the Smokies. We cover Newport and the whole county, from the I-40 gorge headed for the state line over to Cosby, Hartford, and the farmland along the French Broad. No national franchise sits behind us; the people answering and driving are your neighbors, and that matters to us.

Dial our number and a real person answers, never a recording. The drivers who roll out know every road in this county and turn up ready to work, whatever the hour, whatever the weather, and however awkward the job turns out to be.

Our Commitment to Cocke County

This is where we live, and we're on these roads every single day. When a storm blows through and cars start sliding into the ditches along I-40, we're out in it, not watching a map from some distant office. Being based here means we get to you sooner and our drivers already understand the ground, the steep I-40 gorge running toward North Carolina, the mountain lanes around Cosby, and the river bottoms out toward Del Rio.

We've dragged vehicles out of flooded creek crossings and off tight mountain switchbacks and just about everything in between. Wherever you're stranded in our service area, odds are one of our drivers has worked that very spot before.

Licensed, Insured & DOT Compliant

What Sets Us Apart

The towing trade has earned a rough reputation, and we won't pretend otherwise. People get quoted one figure and billed a bigger one, or they sit two hours waiting on a driver who swore he was minutes away. We put Newport Towing together to run the opposite way:

Straight estimates, given first. You hear the cost before we hook a single chain. Nothing hidden, and no fuel surcharge sprung on you at drop-off.

Honest arrival times. The ETA we give on the phone is a real one. If it slips, we ring you back rather than leave you guessing on the shoulder.

We handle your vehicle like our own. Loading a brand-new SUV onto the roll-back or dragging an old beater out of a ditch, we use the right gear and the right technique either way. A vehicle damaged by a sloppy tow is something we won't accept.
