Lot Details & Map
Current storage facility information for Brooks County. Verify your vehicle's location before traveling.
Lot Information Pending
Contact Brooks County local dispatch for specific towing lot assignments.
The Brooks County 911 Dispatch Center runs a wrecker rotation, so whichever private company is "up" in the queue gets your car — PrimeTowing in Quitman (850-427-5004), T M and Sons out of Moultrie, or Valdosta Wrecking Co. on S Troup St in Valdosta.
Finding Your Vehicle
Don't call 911 to find your vehicle — call the non-emergency dispatch line at 229-263-4262 or the Sheriff's Office at 229-263-7558 to find out which company got dispatched.
Missing or Defective Titles
If the title is missing or defective — common enough with private used-car sales in a rural county — you'll need a Bonded Title through the Brooks County Tax Commissioner's Office (610 S. Highland Rd.), which means getting a vehicle valuation, a surety bond from a local insurer, and a law enforcement officer's T-22B inspection form — a process that averages 90 days while storage fees keep accruing.
Getting the Best Outcome
Cash moves things fastest; arguing state fee regulations with a lot attendant tends to slow the release down, not speed it up.
