Accepted Payments
Towing here runs through small, dual-purpose auto shops — places like Hon's Automotive Service (257 GA Highway 112, 478-934-7576), Collins Auto (224 Highway 87 Bypass North, 478-934-7500), and Tony's Auto Body & Towing (262 W Dykes Street, 478-934-4194) — that advertise 24/7 roadside towing but generally only process vehicle releases during business hours.
The After-Hours Trap
Show up at 6 p.m. or on a weekend and you'll likely find a locked gate regardless of what the sign says. Call ahead to confirm the total owed and schedule the release before you drive over.
Finding Your Vehicle
To find out which lot has your car, call Cochran PD (478-934-4282) for a city arrest or the Sheriff's non-emergency line (478-934-4545) for a county or GSP arrest.
Payment
Cash is strongly preferred — some lots take cards but tack on a 3-5% surcharge, so ask before you arrive. Storage fees post at midnight, so retrieving the car the same day you're bonded out, or first thing the next morning, avoids an extra day's charge.
Ownership Requirements
If you weren't the registered owner, the lot won't release the car without the owner physically present with ID and proof of ownership, or a notarized authorization letter with a copy of their ID attached.
Disputing a Tow
If you think the tow was improper, the Bleckley County Magistrate Court (304 SE Second Street, 478-934-3202) handles the dispute.
