Emergency Towing

One thing I've learned about Nashville. It is a busy, fast-paced city. Important to-do items like a car tune-up, battery checks, and tires rotated probably get neglected.

Those pre-mentioned items will go a long way in avoiding an emergency tow service here in the Music City.

Should you need an emergency tow truck dispatched to your location give us a ring and we will be there shortly. While waiting on us to arrive please turn on your hazards. This will signal to the incoming motorist to slow down as they near your vehicle.

Stay alert and aware of the circumstances around you. Don’t accept a ride from a passerby stranger. We want to be your go-to 24 HR emergency towing service…should you ever need us.

What does typical roadside assistance or towing service call look like?

First, let me clarify that the difference between calling for a tow truck versus roadside assistance is really null and void. Typically both are one and the same. 

Most of the tows we perform for transport cost between $75 - $125, but every case is different. There are unique factors that can sway those costs, though like:

How many miles are we transporting the vehicle?

Is it a heavy-duty truck, machinery, or a motorcycle?

If you break down, the first thing you want to do is “what not to do.” Do not panic! Everything will be fine. Just breathe. Next, you will want to call us at (615) 810-6423 & get a Nashville Tow Truck dispatched and en route to your location asap.

The driver will ask you a few questions so he can pinpoint your location. You will need to be ready to give your name and the year, make & color of your car or truck. The exact address of your location will be required unless you're stranded on one of our busy interstates. 

If the case is that you are broke down in an unknown location, try to look for landmarks or highway mileage markers. This information will significantly help the driver and speed up our response time.

Flatbed towing

Compare prices & cost for a tow truck to your location.

Getting quotes from different towing companies and comparing their prices can seem like a time saver; however, remember that the cheapest option typically never turns out to be the best option. You get what you pay for. 

Towing fees and charges

Towing fees can vary depending on several factors, such as the distance towed, the type of vehicle, and the time of day. Below are some different fees depending on the situation.

Hook-up fee

All companies include the hook-up fee. While not mentioned when you call. This charge is calculated by the average time it takes to attach your vehicle to the tow truck. 

Mileage fee

This towing fee is pretty obvious. Are you being towed a few blocks or several miles across town? Most companies have a standard minimum fee that encompasses 10 miles or less. Long-distance towing cost falls into a different category and depends on several factors. 

Impound Lot or Basic Storage fees.

Impound lots in Nashville charge a daily fee to keep your vehicle. If your car is impounded from a parking lot or garage, typically, there will be a sign displaying the tow company the business has contracted to remove the unauthorized vehicle. 

Additional services fee

Every tow call is unique. If the accident is severe, it may require more than one tow truck to safely remove the car. As a result, extra fees may be incurred.

What to expect during a towing service

When you call Harmon at R1 Towing, he will ask you a few standard questions to quickly get a driver dispatched and heading in your direction. 

The service call questions are:

What kind of car is it? 

What is the cause of your vehicle breakdown?

What is your location? 

Where do you want the vehicle towed to? 

After these standard questions are answered, a tow truck driver will be dispatched asap to your location. 


Your & Your Passenger's Safety Is the #1 Priority. Period.

Nashville Interstates are hazardous if you park along the side of the road. Take this seriously. Make sure you & your passengers are not in harm's way by oncoming cars, trucks & semi-tractors, and big rigs. 

Get Your Important Items

Before the tow truck hooks up to your vehicle, ensure you get all your important items like cash, wallet, purse, cell phone, etc. Depending on the situation, you may be able to get access to the car for a couple of hours to several days.

Ask the driver questions.

Don't let the towing driver leave without answering any questions or concerns you have. But, first, you must know where and when to pick up your vehicle.

Towing safety tips

Towing can be dangerous if not done correctly. Keep the following safety reminders at the forefront of your mind.

Stay out of the way.

When the tow truck is loading or unloading your vehicle, stay out of the way and let the driver do their job.

What kind of tow trucks does R1 Towing Use?

We utilize a wide range of trucks. The truck we dispatch out depends on the vehicle's size, make & model, and the reason for the tow. 

Flatbed tow trucks

Our flatbed tow trucks are used primarily for larger vehicles like Ford F-150s, Chevy Silverados & cars that have all-wheel drive systems. 

Integrated tow trucks

This type of truck is usually a dual axle with a boom and wheel lift built into one piece. At R1, we use this truck for extremely heavy-duty situations involving very large vehicles.

Hook and chain tow trucks

We use our Hook and chain tow trucks here in Nashville to do a lot of junk car removals. Simply put, we hook up to the front or the rear of the car, leaving one set of wheels on the ground as it's being towed. This is one of the fastest methods of transporting a vehicle. 

Wheel-lift tow trucks

Wheel-lift tow trucks are not much different than Hook and chain trucks. Both only leave one set of wheels on the pavement while being towed.

 

Conclusion...aka, Let's wrap it up.

To sum it all up, R1 Towing can be your guardian angel on standby! Listen...cars break down. We get it. 

We position our trucks around the entire Nashville Metro Area, so we are never far from you in an emergency. Our 5-star reviews speak for themselves. When you call our tow service, the primary concern on our end is your safety and getting your car road ready as quickly as possible.
