Battery quit in the Vol State parking lot, a tire blown out on Hartsville Pike, keys shut inside the cab down at a boat ramp — whatever left you sitting on the shoulder, a wrecker based right here in Gallatin is already headed your way. A real person picks up any hour, any day, and you hear the price before the truck ever hooks on.
One phone call to a live Gallatin dispatcher — the rest of it is on us.
Dial (615) 395-6942. A Gallatin dispatcher — an actual person, not a recording — takes the call. Give us your spot and what went sideways, and the hard part's done.
We roll the truck that fits the job — rollback or wheel-lift — straight to wherever you're stuck in Gallatin or anywhere across Sumner County. You get the price first, before a single wheel turns.
Your vehicle rides to the shop, the dealer, or your own driveway — your call. What we said on the phone is what you pay when we set it down. Nothing extra creeps onto the bill.
Rollback hauls, jump starts, lockouts, fuel drops, winch-outs — one Gallatin crew that shows up with the right rig for the job, all over Sumner County.
Your vehicle rides flat with every tire off the road — the safe way to move an all-wheel-drive, a slammed coupe, a dealer trade, or anything you'd rather not drag behind a wheel-lift.
Flatbed Towing →For a standard front- or rear-drive car, the wheel-lift is quick and cheap — we cradle the drive wheels and have you off Nashville Pike or out of a packed lot in minutes.
Wheel-Lift Towing →Staring at your keys through the window? A tech opens it with air wedges and a reach tool, leaves the paint and weatherstrip alone, and runs you far less than a locksmith would.
Lockout Service →Battery won't turn over, tire's flat, temp gauge climbing? Tell us where you're parked in Sumner County and a truck comes out to sort it right there on the shoulder.
Roadside Assistance →Coasted to a stop on US-31E or a back road out toward Bethpage with the needle on E? We run fuel out to you — enough to reach the next station, and no tow on the ticket.
Fuel Delivery →Off a slick shoulder, sunk in the mud at an Old Hickory Lake ramp, or dropped into a ditch? Our winch truck pulls you back onto pavement anywhere in Sumner County.
Winch-Out & Recovery →A collision, a car stalled across a lane on Vietnam Veterans Blvd, a breakdown after dark — these jump the line, and a truck rolls the second you hang up.
Emergency Towing →Nothing but a click in the Kroger lot or your own driveway? We show up with a heavy-duty jump box, fire it back to life, and check the battery so it doesn't leave you stuck again.
Jump Start Service →Motorcycles travel on the flatbed only — front wheel set in a chock, held down with soft straps instead of chains — so your bike gets to the shop the way it rolled on.
Motorcycle Towing →There's no far-off call center standing between you and the truck. Gallatin Towing is run right here in the county seat, and our drivers have put years on US-31E, the ramps around Old Hickory Lake, and the gravel cutoffs from Cottontown to Bethpage. Describe where you're stranded and we've likely already stood on that shoulder.
"My Explorer quit on me right at the US-31E and Vietnam Veterans light on a Sunday. The guy named a price straight off, then had it winched onto the rollback in a couple minutes. Quick and honest — exactly what you want when you're stuck on the shoulder."
"Locked myself out with the baby buckled in the back over by the Streets of Indian Lake, around 9 at night. The driver stayed easy about it, popped the door with no marks, and had us going inside ten minutes. That number is in my phone now."
"I've tried a couple tow outfits around Sumner County and these folks are a step up. The driver knew which back road would reach me fastest and set my truck down at the shop without a mark. Told me the cost first, too."
"Broke down on a county road out past Portland late one night with no clue who to phone. They rolled up ahead of the ETA and hauled me to my mechanic like it was nothing. Polite, straight on the price, no runaround."
"Ran the tank dry on Hartsville Pike heading home from Nashville. Instead of towing me they just brought enough gas to reach the station — cheaper and faster. That kind of straight dealing keeps me calling them."
"Slid my trailer tires off the shoulder on TN-25 near Bethpage after a rain. The driver showed with the proper winch setup and eased it back onto the road clean, no drama. Fair on price and clearly knew the work."
We run out of Gallatin, the Sumner County seat, so a driver is usually only minutes from Nashville Pike, Vietnam Veterans Blvd, or the Old Hickory Lake shoreline. We also roll into neighboring Davidson, Wilson, Robertson, Trousdale, and Macon counties.
Gallatin is home base, but our trucks cover the whole county and spill over into Middle Tennessee. Here is a quick look at the towns we answer calls in most.
Our home turf. We work the full city — the Nashville Pike retail strip, downtown around the Sumner County Courthouse square, the neighborhoods off Vietnam Veterans Blvd, and the campus at Volunteer State Community College. Flatbeds, wheel-lifts, lockouts, jump starts, and fuel drops, usually within half an hour.
Full service area →Sumner County's largest city sits about 10 miles southwest along US-31E and Vietnam Veterans Blvd, hugging Old Hickory Lake. We stay busy there with rush-hour breakdowns, boat-ramp lockouts, and recoveries on the TN-386 corridor.
Hendersonville coverage →Up TN-109 near the I-65 interchange, Portland — the Strawberry Capital — is roughly 20 minutes north of Gallatin. We handle interstate breakdowns, farm-road recoveries, and flat tires throughout the north end of the county.
Portland coverage →Out in the northeast corner near the Kentucky line, Westmoreland rides the TN-52 and US-31E ridgelines. Our drivers know the rural stretches and get to stranded vehicles fast, even well off the main highway.
Westmoreland coverage →Cottontown sits just north of Gallatin off TN-25 and TN-259, while historic Castalian Springs — home of Wynnewood and Cragfont — lies east on Hartsville Pike. Both are quick runs for our wreckers.
Cottontown → Castalian Springs →Bethpage sits northeast of Gallatin along TN-25 toward Macon County. It is farm and lake country, so we see everything from trailer breakdowns to trucks slid off a wet shoulder. Fast dispatch from our Gallatin base.
Bethpage coverage →Practical road safety advice from the Gallatin Towing team — what to do when things go wrong on Tennessee highways.
