Frequently Asked Questions
Campbell County covers nearly 500 square miles of mountains and lake shoreline, and where you were stopped decides which wrecker was called and how far your car gets hauled. That distance is the real cost. The base tow might be $150 to $250, but per-mile charges from a stop near Jellico or the far side of Norris Lake stack up fast, and daily storage of $35 to $50 keeps running through weekends and holidays. Get the car out on the first business day after you are released.
There is no central impound lot and no online database. Jimmy's Towing and Recovery, behind JR's Tires on West Beech Street in LaFollette, (423) 437-2114, is a primary rotation and AAA provider. 1st Response Towing and La Follette Towing, (423) 546-7061, also take rotation calls. To find your car, call the Campbell County Sheriff's dispatch at (423) 562-7446.
If the tow happened inside LaFollette city limits, the city code caps wrecker rates and gives the police chief authority to pull an operator off the call list for gouging. If your bill looks padded, file a written complaint with the LaFollette Police Department, which triggers a review.
The lot will not release the car to you to drive off if your license was seized at the arrest. Bring the registered owner and a separate licensed, insured driver. If the owner is still in jail, a notarized authorization letter is usually required, though the lot manager has a lot of discretion to say no if the ownership paperwork looks thin. Aim to arrive before 4:00 p.m. and avoid the noon-to-1:00 lunch hour so someone is there to process the release.
