Your Vehicle Moved When It Matters

24/7 Towing Services in Elizabethton, Tennessee

When your car won't start in a grocery store parking lot in Elizabethton or you slide off a slick county road after dark, you need someone who can load and transport your vehicle without making the situation worse. Tombstone Towing responds around the clock with light- and medium-duty towing that handles standard sedans, crossovers, full-size trucks, and electric vehicles using equipment matched to the weight and clearance of what you drive.

Our crews use flatbed and wheel-lift towing based on your vehicle's drivetrain and condition, and we follow electric vehicle–safe towing procedures to protect battery systems and electronic components during transport. When weather turns or terrain gets difficult around Elizabethton, we dispatch a 4-wheel-drive wrecker that can reach vehicles stuck on muddy access roads, steep driveways, or uneven ground where a standard tow truck can't operate safely.

If your vehicle is disabled and you're unsure what comes next, call Tombstone Towing to arrange a tow in Elizabethton that gets your car where it needs to go.

How the Tow Is Matched to Your Vehicle

When you call, we ask about your vehicle's make, drivetrain, and whether it rolls or steers so we can send the right equipment to your location in Elizabethton. Flatbeds lift all four wheels off the pavement and work well for all-wheel-drive vehicles, low-clearance cars, and electric models that shouldn't be towed with any wheels turning. Wheel-lift towing raises either the front or rear axle and is faster for rear-wheel-drive trucks or front-wheel-drive cars that can safely roll on two wheels.

After the tow, your vehicle arrives at the repair shop, your driveway, or a storage yard without additional damage to the suspension, transmission, or undercarriage. Flatbed towing keeps the entire vehicle stable during transport, and wheel-lift methods reduce the risk of frame contact on uneven roads.

Our 4-wheel-drive wrecker handles recoveries on soft shoulders, gravel lots, and steep grades where a two-wheel-drive truck would lose traction. We also respond quickly to breakdowns on highways and back roads throughout the area, meeting the service standards you'd expect from an AAA-affiliated provider without requiring a membership.

We Know These Situations Bring Up Practical Questions

People who need a tow often want to know what happens to their vehicle, how long the process takes, and whether their specific car or truck can be moved safely.

What types of vehicles can you tow?
We tow light- and medium-duty vehicles including sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, and electric vehicles using flatbed or wheel-lift equipment. If your vehicle weighs more than a standard one-ton truck, let us know during the call so we can confirm capacity.
How long does it take for a tow truck to arrive in Elizabethton?
Response time depends on your location and current call volume, but most tows within Elizabethton are reached within 30 to 45 minutes. We prioritize stranded drivers on busy roads and unsafe locations.
Why do some vehicles require a flatbed instead of a wheel-lift tow?
All-wheel-drive vehicles, electric cars, and low-clearance sports cars can suffer drivetrain or battery damage if towed with wheels on the ground. A flatbed eliminates that risk by lifting the entire vehicle onto the truck bed.
What happens if my car is stuck in mud or on a steep driveway?
We send a 4-wheel-drive wrecker that can navigate soft ground, gravel, and slopes where standard tow trucks lose traction. The winch system pulls your vehicle onto stable ground before loading it for transport.
Can you tow my vehicle to a specific repair shop?
Yes, you tell us where the vehicle should go and we deliver it there. Most customers choose a nearby shop in Elizabethton, but we can also tow to your home or a storage facility if that works better.
