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 Union City. Flatbed, wheel-lift, heavy and motorcycle jobs all go through the same number.
Where Union City fits in the metro
Hartsfield-Jackson and two interstates define the south side. Drivers who wait on a shoulder or ramp near the terminals can be fined $50 to more than $350 on top of the tow, and impound storage at the airport runs $2.50 per day once day one has passed. Farther out, I-85, I-75 and Tara Boulevard carry older cars and dense apartment communities, so lot removals are common. Where the car ends up depends on the county: Fulton and Clayton do not run the same process.
I-85 is Union City's backbone, with US-29 and Jonesboro Road feeding the apartment complexes and shopping strips set back from the interstate. Drivers stranded on I-85 tend to need a lane-side recovery, while residents off the arterials more often need a battery boost or a retrieval from a lot. For lot removals, Georgia's O.C.G.A. 44-1-13 lets a tenant or guest check three things quickly: a legible sign near the entrance, a written contract between the lot owner and the operator, and the first day without storage fees. The Tariff No. 5 ceiling for a standard vehicle is $228. Union City lies inside Fulton County, so a police impound is released at the Marshal's admin office, 185 Central Ave SW downtown, weekdays 8:30 to 5. Wheel-lift handles most cars here, and flatbed is the answer for anything that will not roll.
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 Union City.
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.
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.
Calling from Union City 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.

Common questions from Union City drivers
Can I get a tow in Union City at night?
Yes. The line takes calls 24/7, and that covers Union City 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 Union City 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 airport shoulders and apartment-lot removals near Union City?
Union City runs along I-85 south in south Fulton. Highway breakdowns and apartment or retail-lot removals along the corridor account for most calls. The operator we dispatch plans around the road, the traffic and the access at your address.
Who sets the price of a tow in Union City?
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 Union City?
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.
