Covering Both Sides of State Street
Bristol straddles the Tennessee-Virginia state line, and Treadz Tire & Towing serves both sides. Whether you're stuck near Bristol Motor Speedway on race weekend, broken down along Volunteer Parkway, or need a tow from the Exit 7 area off I-81 — our team dispatches from Mount Carmel and reaches Bristol quickly.
As the birthplace of country music and home to one of NASCAR's most iconic tracks, Bristol sees huge surges in traffic throughout the year. Treadz is ready for those busy days and quiet nights alike — available 24/7 with professional, courteous service.
Bristol Motor Speedway events bring massive crowds and heavy traffic. Whether you need a tow after a fender bender in the parking lot or a tire change on the way home, Treadz is standing by during every major event. Our 4.9-star Google rating shows we deliver when it counts most.
We dispatch from Mount Carmel and typically reach Bristol within 20–40 minutes depending on traffic and your exact location. Call (423) 357-4551 and we'll give you a real-time ETA.

Bristol's geography creates some unique towing challenges. The I-81 and I-381 interchange near the Virginia line is one of the area's busiest and most accident-prone stretches — high-speed traffic converging from multiple directions, combined with the volume surge during Bristol Motor Speedway events, keeps our drivers on their toes. If you're stranded in this interchange area, get your hazards on, move as far off the travel lane as possible, and call us immediately.
Commonwealth Avenue runs through the heart of Bristol's commercial district, and the stop-and-go conditions there are hard on clutches, brakes, and cooling systems. Gate City Highway (US-421) heading toward Kingsport is another high-traffic corridor where we run frequent calls. Volunteer Parkway sees consistent volume from the speedway, retail centers, and everyday commuters — breakdowns there can back up quickly and require fast response.
Because Bristol spans the state line, our drivers are experienced with calls on both the Tennessee and Virginia sides. Don't worry about which state you're technically in — just call us and we'll come to you.
For most local tows within the Bristol area — whether you're on the Tennessee side or the Virginia side — pricing typically runs between $95 and $175. That covers the hookup, transport, and drop-off at your destination of choice. We'll give you an exact quote on the phone before our driver heads out, so you know what to expect and can make an informed decision without any pressure.
Long-distance towing — if you need your vehicle moved to a shop in Knoxville, Abingdon, or elsewhere — is priced by the mile, and we'll walk through that estimate with you clearly. We accept most insurance roadside programs and motor clubs, and we're upfront about everything: no hidden fees, no unexpected charges, no fine print surprises.
Race weekend or not, our pricing doesn't change. A local tow is a local tow. We don't adjust rates based on what events are happening at the speedway — you get the same honest price year-round.
Treadz serves both the Tennessee and Virginia sides of Bristol, treating them as one seamless coverage area. Downtown Bristol — including the historic State Street where the center line marks the state border — is fully within our reach. The Blountville area just south of Bristol along I-81 is a frequent call zone, particularly around the Sullivan County Airport and surrounding commercial development.
The Volunteer Parkway corridor from downtown to the speedway and beyond keeps us busy throughout the year, and the Virginia State line area — including calls that come from the Bristol VA side of town — are handled just as promptly as any Tennessee call. If you're close enough to see the Bristol sign, we can reach you.
Whether it's a Tuesday night on a quiet side street or a Saturday afternoon with 150,000 fans flooding out of the speedway, our process stays the same — straightforward and stress-free:
