Frequently Asked Questions

There's no central impound desk to call in Davie County, no single phone number, no fixed location. The Sheriff's Office and State Highway Patrol work off a rotation list of private towing companies, and whichever one happens to be next gets the call, meaning the car could end up in Mocksville, out near Cooleemee, or at a rural lot elsewhere in the county. The first move after release from jail is checking the discharge paperwork for a tow slip; if it's missing, calling DCSO Dispatch at (336) 751-6238 is the way to find out who has the vehicle.

Carolina Towing & Recovery and Dixon's Wrecker Service both regularly handle rotation tows in the Mocksville area, though the specific company assigned to any given arrest depends entirely on where that company sat in the rotation that day. Before heading to a lot, it's worth asking directly: is there a Sheriff's hold or seizure order on this vehicle? If the answer is yes, that's not a question the tow company can resolve. A hold means the release paperwork has to come from the DCSO Civil Division at 132 Government Center Drive first, not the towing lot.

That hold typically applies when the driver was already revoked from a prior DWI, since North Carolina law treats that as a mandatory seizure scenario rather than a routine tow. Without the hold, retrieval is more straightforward: a valid photo ID for the registered owner, proof of ownership through the title or registration, and payment, cash is strongly preferred, and personal checks are essentially never accepted. If the registered owner is the one still in custody, a third party needs a notarized Power of Attorney to retrieve the car on their behalf.

Expect a base tow charge somewhere between $175 and $250, plus $35 to $60 a day in storage that accrues every 24 hours, weekends included. After-hours release outside the standard Monday-through-Friday, 8-to-5 window runs an extra $50 to $75, and administrative fees for notification letters or lien filing can add another $25 to $50 on top.
