Open 24 hours, and we mean it
Our Google profile says open 24 hours because that is how we run. Breakdowns do not keep business hours — a 2 a.m. call on I-75 gets answered the same as a Tuesday afternoon one.
Cleveland, Tennessee. Family-owned. Open 24 hours.
Cleveland Towing & Recovery runs light, medium and heavy duty towing and recovery, truck decking and undecking, and roadside work — across Southeast Tennessee and North Georgia, with the straight pricing you would want from a company that lives down the road from you.
Who we are
A Cleveland towing company that answers its own phone.
Cleveland Towing And Recovery is a family business, run out of Cleveland in the middle of Bradley County. It is a young company, and that is exactly why the phone gets answered and the price gets quoted straight by the people who own the trucks.
From Cleveland we cover Bradley County and run out across Southeast Tennessee and North Georgia: down I-75 through Chattanooga, north through Riceville and Athens, west to Decatur and Dayton, east on US-64 into the Ocoee gorge and the Copper Basin, and over the line into Ringgold, Dalton and Chatsworth — 77 cities and communities in 10 counties. That is where our trucks respond. Long distance work goes further: a vehicle we pick up here gets delivered wherever it needs to be, and Atlanta, Nashville and Knoxville are runs we make regularly.
Our Google reviews sit at 5.0 out of 5, and we would like to keep it there. That is why you get an honest ETA, an upfront number, and a straight answer about what your vehicle actually needs — including when the honest answer is that somebody closer to you is the better call.
The name on the door is the name on the paperwork — one local company, one number, answered around the clock.

What sets us apart
Why Southeast Tennessee drivers call Cleveland Towing.
Family-owned, and you get the owner
Cleveland Towing & Recovery is a family business. When you call, you are talking to the people who own the truck and drive it — not a call centre selling your job to whoever happens to bid lowest.
Military & first responders save
Service members, veterans and first responders get a standing discount on every job, every time. Not a promotion with an end date — just how we do it.
Heavy duty, and the light stuff too
Most companies around here stop at passenger cars. We run heavy duty towing and recovery for tractors, trailers, buses and RVs, plus decking and undecking — and we still come out for a dead battery.
What we do
The full light, medium & heavy duty lineup.
From a decked tractor headed to Atlanta to a jump start in a church parking lot, here is how Cleveland Towing & Recovery keeps this corner of Tennessee moving.
Tractors, trailers, buses & RVs
Heavy Duty Towing
When the vehicle is too big for a standard tow truck, this is the call. Tractors, tractor-trailers, box trucks, dump trucks, buses and motorhomes — hooked, lifted and moved with the rigging the weight actually calls for, day or night.
Learn more →Box trucks, sprinters, shuttles & dualliesMedium Duty Towing
The class in between a pickup and a tractor-trailer, and the one a lot of towing companies are not set up for. Box trucks and straight trucks, sprinter and cargo vans, shuttle buses, ambulances, dually pickups, landscape and utility rigs — loaded on the deck and moved without improvising.
Learn more →Piggyback loads, mounted & dismountedTruck Decking & Undecking
Decking is mounting one truck onto the frame of another so a single driver can move both; undecking is taking it back down. It is precise work with real weight overhead, and it is a service most towing companies in this area simply do not offer.
Learn more →All four wheels off the roadFlatbed Towing
A flatbed puts every wheel up off the pavement with 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. We run both flatbed and wheel-lift, so you get whichever one your vehicle and your situation actually need.
Learn more →Cars, SUVs, pickups & vansLight Duty 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, off the shoulder or on its sideWinch Outs & Recovery
Recovery is in our name for a reason. A rig off the shoulder, a trailer jackknifed on a ramp, a truck buried on a soft job site, or a car dropped in a ditch — we work out how it is sitting, pick anchor and pull points that will take the load, and bring it back under controlled tension.
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? Out-of-area and out-of-state runs are what this service is for — auction pickups, dealer transfers, project cars, a move, or a vehicle headed to a shop several hours away. Atlanta, Nashville and Knoxville are runs we make regularly.

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.
Learn more →Local, family-owned, accountable
Service you can count on.
A truck down is stressful enough without wondering whether help is coming or what it is going to cost. We are family-owned right here in Cleveland, we own the trucks we send, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
