What we do
From a dead battery to a car in a ditch.
Most of what strands people around here is small — a battery, a flat, keys locked on the seat. Some of it is not. Cleveland Towing & Recovery handles both, on the same number, at any hour.
All four wheels off the road
Flatbed Towing
We run a flatbed rollback, which is the safest way there is to move a vehicle — every wheel up off the pavement, nothing dragging and nothing turning. It is the right call for all-wheel drive, lowered cars, EVs, classics and anything you would rather not gamble with.
Learn more →Cars, SUVs, pickups & vansLocal Towing
Everyday towing around Cleveland and Bradley County and out through Southeast Tennessee. Sedans, SUVs, pickups, vans and motorcycles moved off the shoulder, out of a driveway or out of a parking lot, and delivered to the shop or the address you name.
Learn more →Stuck? We will pull you outWinch Outs & Recovery
Dropped a wheel off the shoulder, buried in mud on a job site, slid off a gravel road, or backed into a ditch? A winch-out pulls the vehicle back onto solid ground with steady tension and sensible anchor points — so you do not trade a stuck truck for a bent one.
Learn more →Back on the road, no tow neededRoadside Assistance
Not every breakdown needs the deck. When a jump, a spare, a few gallons of fuel or a door opened is all it takes, we come to you and handle it on the spot — and only load you up if it turns out the problem is bigger than that.
Learn more →Dead battery? Quickest call we runJump Starts
A dead battery is the fastest job we do. We come to you, connect properly so nothing in your vehicle takes a spike, and get you started — then give you a straight answer about whether that battery is going to leave you stranded again next week.
Learn more →No spare, no problemFlat Tire Change
A flat should not leave you kneeling on the shoulder of APD-40 with a jack you have never used. We come to you, put the truck between you and traffic, mount your spare, and make sure you are safe to pull away before we leave.
Learn more →Out of gas? We will bring itFuel Delivery
Running dry happens, and walking an interstate shoulder with a gas can is a genuinely bad idea. Call us instead and we will bring enough gas or diesel to get you to the nearest pump under your own power.
Learn more →Locked out? We will get you inCar Lockout Service
Keys sitting on the driver seat and every door locked? We use proper lockout tools to open the vehicle without hurting the door, the glass or the weather seal — quite a bit cheaper and less painful than a broken window.
Learn more →Here when it matters mostAccident & Collision Recovery
After a wreck you should not have to argue with anybody about where your vehicle goes. We clear it from the scene safely, work around whichever police or fire crews are on site, and take it to the body shop you choose.
Learn more →Out of town & out of stateLong Distance Towing
Need a vehicle moved a long way instead of across town? We are a DOT-registered motor carrier, so out-of-area and out-of-state runs are on the table — auction pickups, dealer transfers, project cars, a move, or a vehicle headed to a shop several hours away.
Learn more →Clear out that clunkerJunk Car Removal
That car that has not moved in three years is taking up a spot you could be using. We haul away unwanted, wrecked and non-running vehicles — winched on if it will not roll, and gone the same trip.

Local. Family-owned. Awake at 3 a.m.
Cleveland-based, covering 77 towns.
Cleveland Towing & Recovery was built to be the one number that works whatever you are looking at — a dead battery in a church parking lot, a car dropped off the shoulder of APD-40, or a wreck that needs clearing off I-75 at two in the morning. Hunter Brown owns the truck and drives it, our Google reviews sit at 5.0 out of 5, and military and first responders always get a discount.
Why drivers call us
We answer, we show up, and the price is the price.
When you are stuck on the shoulder every minute drags. You should not be waiting on a truck that never comes, and you should not hear one number on the phone and a different one when the driver gets there. We tell you what it costs, we bring the rollback, and we get you sorted.
Hook-up and per-mile numbers before we leave the yard, and an itemized receipt after for your insurer.
Open 24 hours, seven days. Late nights, weekends and holidays are when people need a tow most, so that is when we answer.
How it works
Getting help is simple.
No runaround and no hold music. Here is what a call to Cleveland Towing & Recovery looks like.
Give us a call

Get an upfront price
We quote the hook-up and mileage before we head out. That is the number you pay.
The rollback heads out
We bring the gear your situation actually calls for — winch, straps, dollies — straight to your location.
Where it needs to be
You are back on the road, or your vehicle is safely where you wanted it, with an itemized receipt in hand.
Registered, local, accountable
Service you can count on.
Being stuck is stressful enough without wondering whether the truck is coming or what it is going to cost. We are a DOT-registered motor carrier (USDOT #4571974, MC 1818705), family-owned right here in Cleveland, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
Roadside tips
Broken down? Stay safe, then call.
Practical advice from Cleveland Towing & Recovery for the ten minutes before the truck gets there.
Get somewhere safe first
If you break down, pull as far onto the shoulder as you safely can, put your hazards on, and stay buckled inside the vehicle. On I-75 or APD-40, standing outside your car is the most dangerous thing you can do while you wait.
Know exactly where you are
The fastest way to get a truck to you is a precise location — an interstate exit number, a mile marker, a cross street or a landmark you can see. "Somewhere on 64" costs everybody time.
Tell us what you are driving
Year, make, model, and whether it is all-wheel drive, electric, lowered, or will not roll. That one answer decides how we load it and what we bring, and getting it right the first time saves you a second wait.
Service areas
Covering 77 cities and communities.
Out of Cleveland we run all of Bradley County, down I-75 through Chattanooga, north to Athens, Dayton and Madisonville, east into the Ocoee gorge and the Copper Basin, and across the state line to Ringgold, Dalton and Chatsworth. Find your town below.
FAQ
Questions drivers ask us.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Cleveland and cover 77 cities and communities across 10 counties — Bradley, Hamilton, McMinn, Polk, Meigs, Rhea and Monroe in Tennessee, plus Catoosa, Whitfield and Murray in North Georgia. That runs from Chattanooga and the Georgia line north to Athens, Niota, Dayton and Madisonville, and east on US-64 through Ocoee and Benton into the Copper Basin.
What are your hours?
We are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call (423) 457-5553 at any hour — nights, weekends and holidays included.
Do you use a flatbed or a hook?
We run a flatbed rollback, so all four wheels come up off the road. It is the safest way to move a vehicle and the only sensible way to move all-wheel drive, electric, lowered or non-rolling vehicles.
How far will you tow?
As far as you need. We are a DOT-registered motor carrier (USDOT #4571974, MC 1818705), so out-of-area and out-of-state runs are on the table. Give us the pickup address and the destination and we will quote the whole run up front.
How does your pricing work?
Towing is normally a hook-up (base) charge plus a per-mile rate, and winch outs and recovery work are quoted according to the situation. We give you those numbers before we dispatch, and you get an itemized receipt after.
Do you offer a discount for military or first responders?
Yes, and it is a standing one rather than a limited promotion. Active duty, veterans, police, fire and EMS get a discount on every job. Just mention it when you call.
Can I choose which shop you tow my car to?
Always. It is your vehicle, so it is your call. Name the repair shop, body shop, dealer or address and that is where it goes.
Are you a registered towing company?
Yes. Cleveland Towing And Recovery is a DOT-registered motor carrier operating under USDOT #4571974 and MC 1818705, owned and run by Hunter Brown out of Cleveland, Tennessee.
Can you help if I am locked out or out of gas?
Yes. Jump starts, flat-tire changes, fuel delivery, lockouts and winch outs are all part of what we do — and quite often you do not need a tow at all. We will tell you that honestly rather than load you up anyway.
My car will not roll — can you still move it?
Yes. Flat tires, no key, seized brakes, collision damage, or a car that has been parked for years — it gets winched up onto the deck and secured. Just tell us the condition so we bring the right gear.
Do you tow into Georgia?
We do. Ringgold, Fort Oglethorpe, Dalton, Tunnel Hill, Varnell, Chatsworth and the surrounding Catoosa, Whitfield and Murray county communities are all inside our normal area, and we hold interstate authority for runs beyond that.
