Frequently Asked Questions

Surry County runs towing through a rotation list maintained by Emergency Communications, with different providers covering Mount Airy proper versus the rest of the county. Massey Towing & Recovery, at 457 Russell Road in Mount Airy, handles much of the city-limits traffic — release line (336) 783-7665, open 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM weekdays. ICN Towing & Auto covers the broader regional rotation out of Toast, NC. Chuck's Towing and Scenic Collision Repair (the latter focused on accident-related tows near the Virginia border) round out the secondary options.

Fees run $150-$250 for a light-duty tow, plus $20-$40 a day in storage depending on which lot, and a $50 municipal administrative fee in Mount Airy specifically. The real trap is the "Administrative Release Window" — even though a tow company may answer emergency calls 24/7, actually releasing a vehicle typically needs sign-off from the police department during business hours. Arrested Friday night, and you're often looking at Monday morning before the car comes out, racking up a minimum of three days' storage (roughly $60) plus that $50 fee before the base tow charge even comes into play. The best time to show up is 9:00 to 10:30 AM on a weekday — many small rural shops run a single staffer who disappears for lunch from noon to 1:30 PM.

If you're not the registered owner, Surry lots are notably strict — North Carolina law requires the owner present in person with valid ID, or a notarized power of attorney specifically authorizing release, and local lots have been known to refuse a spouse's request if the title's in only one name.

You have the right to a prompt post-seizure hearing contesting the tow under G.S. 153A-198, filed through the Clerk of Court within 10 days — rarely used, but a real option if the tow itself wasn't statutorily authorized. If you're not sure where your car went, check the NCSHP's online towed-vehicle lookup, though it can lag 24 hours, or ask whether it's sitting in a secure lot at the Sheriff's Office, which happens in specific investigative cases.
