Frequently Asked Questions

Hi-way Wrecker Service LLC on South Church Avenue in Henderson is the primary contractor for DUI tows in Chester County, with B Ray's Mechanic Service on Woods Drive handling overflow when the primary lot is at capacity or a specific agency requests a different provider. The dispatch line runs around the clock, but call the Chester County Sheriff's Office non-emergency line first to confirm which lot actually has the car. The arresting officer keeps the authoritative tow log, not the lots themselves.

Rural wrecker yards operate on real small-business hours, not municipal ones. The yard manager who can process a cash release and verify ownership documents typically steps away for lunch between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., and the administrative window for releases usually closes by 4 or 5 p.m. even though dispatch answers 24/7. Call ahead to confirm someone's actually on site and to get the exact cash amount before driving out; arriving at 4:45 without complete paperwork means the transaction waits until the next business day and another day of storage fees. Targeting arrival before 2 p.m. gives the most buffer.

Ownership rules carry real weight here. If the registered owner is the person who's incarcerated, the lot will not release the vehicle to a spouse or parent without a notarized release authorization from the inmate or the owner's physical presence, so coordinating that through jail staff before fees pile up is worth doing immediately. A polite, non-adversarial approach with the dispatch staff tends to move things faster in a small-town operation like this; aggressive demands or threats of legal action generally just get met with strict adherence to the maximum allowable fees and no flexibility.

If the vehicle gets placed under an evidentiary or forfeiture hold, which commonly happens with repeat DUI offenses or driving on a revoked license under Tennessee Code § 55-10-401, the owner has to request a tow hearing through the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security's Legal Division within 30 calendar days of the seizure notice to contest it.
