Frequently Asked Questions
Coffee County has no central impound lot. Your car went to a private company on the rotation list, and which one depends on where you were stopped and which agency arrested you. Parker Wrecker Service in Manchester, at 2651 Murfreesboro Highway, handles the northern part of the county and runs 24 hours. TNR Towing and Recovery on Big Springs Avenue in Tullahoma covers the south. Mid-State Towing out of Hillsboro handles the rural stretches and the I-24 corridor. To find out which one has your car, call the arresting agency: Manchester Police at 931-728-2099 or the Coffee County Sheriff at 931-728-3591. Dispatch keeps the rotation records.
Parker Wrecker has a hard rule that catches people: cash, money order, or cashier's check only. No credit or debit cards. The bill can run several hundred dollars in the first two days, so call ahead, get the exact total, and bring the money in an accepted form. Show up with a card and you leave without the car and pay another day of storage.
Manchester caps the base tow at $190 and outside storage at $45 a day, but private operators sometimes add fees for "window wrapping," "winching," or vague "processing." State law also bars a lot from charging a gate or access fee on the same day it charges storage during business hours, and caps any release fee at $100. Ask for an itemized invoice and push back on anything that does not match.
To pick up the car you need proof of ownership, a government photo ID, and, if there was an investigative hold, a police release form. Because your license was likely taken at the arrest, you cannot drive the car off yourself, so bring a licensed driver, along with proof of insurance and the registration.
Move fast. Storage compounds daily, and a car left unclaimed for 30 days can be sold at auction. Get it back within the first 72 hours if you can.
