Stuck or towed in Alpharetta? Start here.

Quick Tow ATL is a referral line. You call, tell us the vehicle and the spot, and we hand the job to an independent tow operator who works Alpharetta. Flatbed, wheel-lift, heavy and motorcycle jobs all go through the same number.

Alpharetta's calls follow GA-400 exits (Haynes Bridge, Old Milton, Windward) and the big private lots at Avalon and the office parks nearby. Expect jump-starts and lockouts as much as wrecks.
Before you call

Where Alpharetta fits in the metro

GA-400 is the spine of North Fulton. Where it meets I-285 at Sandy Springs, mismatched ramp speeds produce rear-end chains, and the office towers and retail centers nearby run their own parking enforcement. Because the housing is mostly newer and driveway-based, calls here skew toward late-model cars that need a flatbed, plus the everyday dead battery. Elevated ramps are also first to glaze when the rare freeze arrives.

Alpharetta sits at the top end of the GA-400 corridor, and its three busiest exits, Haynes Bridge, Old Milton and Windward, are where traffic stacks up and rear-end wrecks begin. Off the highway, the story shifts to parking. Avalon, the retail centers and the office campuses along Old Milton run on tight lots, and Ameris Bank Amphitheatre draws event traffic. Each of those lots must follow Georgia's private-property statute (O.C.G.A. 44-1-13): posted signage near every entrance, a written contract with the owner, no automated watching for violators, and the first day of storage free. Newer vehicles dominate, which means most requests ask for a flatbed or a simple jump, boost or unlock. If a Fulton County impound is involved, release happens at the Marshal's office downtown, not at the lot where the car was taken. Share your exit or cross street and the operator we dispatch will plan the approach.

Which truck

Picking the right method for your vehicle

A standard sedan, pickup or SUV under roughly 10,000 pounds usually rides on a wheel-lift. When the car is lowered, electric, all-wheel drive or can't roll, ask for a flatbed so nothing drags. Say which applies when you phone, and the dispatcher matches the job to an operator running that equipment in Alpharetta.

Public fee ceilings

What the published rules say a tow can cost

Quick Tow ATL doesn't set prices. The operator we send quotes you before moving the car. The limits below are the ones government sets, and they apply to tows nobody asked for (police, private lot), not to a call you place yourself.

City of Atlanta police tow $125 cap No storage for the first 24 hours (Atlanta Code 162-227)
Private-lot tow, up to 10,000 lb $228 cap $33 a day storage after a free first 24 hours (DPS Tariff No. 5)
DeKalb County impound lot $125 + $15/day 2158 Tucker Industrial Rd, Tucker
Fulton County release Marshal's office 185 Central Ave SW, 9th floor, weekdays 8:30 to 5

Not sure whether you need a tow at all? A dead battery or a locked door may be a cheaper fix. Browse the jump start and lockout pages, or use the tow cost calculator for a rough sense of mileage. For rules on removals from a lot, read the state's code on Justia.

After dark

Calling from Alpharetta late at night

Nobody picks 3 AM for a breakdown, and the line doesn't close for it. Overnight calls cover wrecks, lockouts, flats, empty tanks and cars that vanished from a lot. Give your cross street, the vehicle and any damage. The operator who accepts the job states the full price, after-hours charge included, before the truck rolls.

Alpharetta questions

Common questions from Alpharetta drivers

Can I get a tow in Alpharetta at night?

Yes. The line takes calls 24/7, and that covers Alpharetta and the roads around it. Give your location and vehicle, and the independent operator we dispatch gives you the price and a time window before agreeing to the job.

When does my car in Alpharetta need a flatbed?

Quick Tow ATL owns no trucks, so we match the vehicle to an operator who runs the right one. All-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, electric cars, low or lowered cars, and anything damaged or unable to roll are the usual flatbed cases. Tell us the make and trim and the operator quotes accordingly.

What should I know about GA-400 wrecks and office-lot removals near Alpharetta?

Alpharetta's calls follow GA-400 exits (Haynes Bridge, Old Milton, Windward) and the big private lots at Avalon and the office parks nearby. Expect jump-starts and lockouts as much as wrecks. The operator we dispatch plans around the road, the traffic and the access at your address.

Who sets the price of a tow in Alpharetta?

The operator does, and you hear the number before they move the car. Heavy-duty, long-distance and specialty jobs such as motorcycles, RVs and exotic cars are quoted individually. If a jump start or an unlock would solve the problem, the dispatcher will say so rather than book a tow.

What are the legal limits if my car was towed in Alpharetta?

It depends on who ordered the move. DeKalb County impounds are released at 2158 Tucker Industrial Rd in Tucker ($125 plus $15 a day). Fulton County impounds are released through the Marshal's office at 185 Central Ave SW, 9th floor. Private-lot tows fall under the DPS Maximum Rate Tariff No. 5: $228 for a vehicle of 10,000 pounds or less, $33 a day storage, first 24 hours free. Contact the agency or lot that ordered the tow.
