What We Do
Towing & Roadside Services in Dayton, TN
From flatbed towing to fuel delivery, we cover it all across Rhea County — and we bring the right equipment for every job.
Flatbed Towing — Dayton TN
Roll-back flatbed hauling that keeps every wheel off the pavement — the right call for AWD and 4x4 trucks, low-slung cars, and bikes all across Rhea County.
Flatbed Towing →Wheel-Lift Towing
Quick wheel-lift tows for everyday front- and rear-drive cars — a lean, budget-friendly way to clear a Dayton shoulder and get rolling again.
Wheel-Lift Towing →Lockout Service — Dayton TN
Keys shut inside at the Walmart lot or along US-27? We pop the door with the right tools and skip the locksmith markup — no scratched paint, no long wait.
Lockout Service →Roadside Assistance
Flat tire, dead battery, a temperature gauge climbing into the red — we drive out to wherever you're stuck in Rhea County and sort it right there on the shoulder.
Roadside Assistance →Fuel Delivery — Dayton TN
Coasted to a stop on empty along US-27 or a county lane? We bring gas out to you — plenty to reach the next pump, no tow required.
Fuel Delivery →Winch-Out & Recovery
Dropped a wheel in a ditch, buried in mud, or hung up on a grade toward Pikeville or Dunlap? Our winch gear drags you back onto solid ground wherever you went off.
Winch-Out & Recovery →Emergency Towing
Wrecks, a car blocking the lane, a breakdown on a dark stretch of Walden's Ridge — we send a truck the moment you call, midnight or noon.
Emergency Towing →Jump Start Service
Battery won't turn over? We show up anywhere in Rhea County with a heavy-duty booster and check the charge before we pull away, so you're not stranded twice.
Jump Start Service →Motorcycle Towing
Bikes ride flatbed only — chocked at the front wheel and held with soft straps, never chains that chew up chrome or paint.

Dayton Towing That Knows Rhea County Roads
We aren't a 1-800 number routing your call three states away. We run out of Dayton itself, and our drivers have covered every mile of US-27, the county lanes past Graysville, and the switchback grades climbing toward Pikeville and Dunlap.
- ✓These are our roads. From the US-27 corridor through downtown Dayton to the gravel lanes around Spring City and Graysville, we already know the quickest way to reach you.
- ✓A price you hear first. We quote the job before the hook ever touches your car, and that number doesn't grow once we set you down.
- ✓The correct truck, every time. Roll-backs, wheel-lifts, and winch rigs — we match the equipment to what actually happened to you.
- ✓Drivers who take their time. A tired commuter car or a lifted 4x4 gets loaded with the same patience and the same care.

What Dayton Drivers Say
★★★★★
"My Subaru quit on US-27 just north of town on a Sunday night. The guy who answered was easygoing, told me the price straight out, and had my AWD winched onto the flatbed without a mark on it. Genuinely grateful."
KP
Kayla P.
★★★★★
"Locked myself out with my four-year-old still buckled in the back, right by the courthouse around 9 at night. They got there quick, kept me calm, and had the door open with zero damage. Cannot thank them enough."
BK
Brandon K.
★★★★★
"Hands down the best wrecker service in Rhea County. The driver knew exactly which back road I was on, reached me quick, and dropped my truck at the shop without a single scratch. Price was fair, no games."
WH
Wade H.
★★★★★
"My car gave out on a county road out past Decatur and I had no idea who to call. Dayton Towing had a driver to me in no time and ran it over to my mechanic with no trouble at all. Polite and reasonably priced."
MT
Monica T.
★★★★★
"Ran the tank dry on US-27 coming home from Chattanooga. One call and they brought fuel right out to the shoulder for me. Turned a bad night around. If you're anywhere in Rhea County, keep their number handy."
CD
Curtis D.
★★★★★
"Slid into a muddy ditch off TN-29 outside Graysville after the rain. The driver rolled up with the right winch setup, pulled me out clean, and stayed friendly the whole time. Better than I hoped for — I'll call again."

Anything all-wheel or four-wheel drive, low to the ground, high-dollar, or on two wheels belongs on the flatbed — lifting all four tires clear keeps the drivetrain safe.
