Frequently Asked Questions
White County runs a towing rotation, but in practice one company does most of the work: Anderson's Service Center at 419 Old Ridge Road in Sparta, (931) 266-0992. If the Sheriff or Sparta Police made the arrest, that is most likely where your car is. A Highway Patrol tow follows the state's own rotation list, so if a trooper arrested you, call the arresting agency's dispatch to confirm which yard has it.
Anderson's is the hub for the whole process here. It tows the car, stores it, and is also the only shop in the county authorized to install an ignition interlock. That means one address handles retrieval and, if you need a restricted license later, the device too. It also means one company sets the price with no local competition.
Expect a base tow of $125 to $225 and storage of $35 to $55 a day. A recurring complaint is storage charges piling up over a weekend when the lot is closed and you physically cannot pick the car up, so get it out on the first business day you can.
To claim the car you need the title or registration and a valid photo ID. If your license was suspended at the arrest, you cannot drive it off the lot, so bring a second licensed driver. If the DUI involved a fatality or a felony, the vehicle is evidence and a hold is placed on it; the district attorney has to issue a court order before it can be released, regardless of fees.
