The Tri-Cities' Largest City — We're Just Minutes Away
Kingsport is the largest city in the Tri-Cities and one of the busiest areas for roadside emergencies. Whether you're stuck on East Stone Drive during rush hour, broke down near Eastman Chemical, or need a tire changed at Fort Henry Mall — Treadz Tire & Towing dispatches from nearby Mount Carmel and arrives fast.
Our drivers regularly service all Kingsport neighborhoods including Lynn Garden, Bloomingdale, Colonial Heights, and the downtown corridor. We know the shortcuts, the traffic patterns, and how to reach you quickly no matter where you are in the city.
We've earned a 4.9-star rating on Google from real customers throughout the Tri-Cities. Our locally owned operation means you're never talking to a distant call center — you're speaking directly with people who live and work in your community. Available 24/7, 365 days a year.
We dispatch from Mount Carmel and typically reach Kingsport within 20–40 minutes depending on traffic and your exact location. Call (423) 357-4551 and we'll give you a real-time ETA.
Pricing depends on distance, time of day, and vehicle type. Most local tows run $95–$175. We give an honest quote up front before the truck rolls — no hidden fees.

Some stretches of Kingsport see a disproportionate share of roadside calls, and our drivers know every one of them by heart. Stone Drive (US-11W) is the city's commercial spine — heavy stop-and-go traffic combined with aging vehicles makes it one of our busiest corridors. Overheating, blown tires, and dead batteries are all common along that stretch, especially during summer afternoons.
Interstate 81 near Exit 59 sees a steady flow of long-haul traffic mixed with local commuters. Accidents and breakdowns here can leave drivers stranded in a high-speed merge zone — exactly the kind of situation where fast, professional response matters most. Fort Henry Drive is another high-volume corridor connecting Kingsport to the surrounding suburbs, and Wilcox Drive handles significant retail traffic near major shopping centers.
John B. Dennis Highway (US-23) serves as a key artery linking Kingsport's industrial east side to surrounding communities. If you're stranded anywhere along these routes — or anywhere else in the city — call us and we'll be on the way.
One of the most common questions we hear is "how much is this going to cost?" It's a fair question, and we believe you deserve a straight answer before our truck ever leaves the yard. For most local tows within the Kingsport area, pricing typically runs between $95 and $175 depending on vehicle type, time of day, and exact distance.
For longer hauls — say, transporting a vehicle to a dealership in Knoxville or a family member's home in another county — we price by the mile and will give you that number upfront, not after your car is already on the flatbed. We accept most major insurance roadside programs and motor clubs, so if you have AAA, Allstate Roadside, or similar coverage, have your membership info handy when you call.
There are no hidden fees, no after-hours surcharges buried in the fine print, and no pressure tactics. Mike and Bucky built this business on a handshake-honest approach, and that's how every call gets handled.
We cover every corner of Kingsport, from the historic downtown district near Broad Street to the sprawling suburban neighborhoods to the west and east. Our drivers regularly run calls in Bloomingdale and Colonial Heights, where residential streets and steady traffic keep us busy year-round. Allandale and Riverview see their fair share of calls too — residents there know we can get through neighborhood streets quickly and without fuss.
Sullivan Gardens and the Sunsets Drive area round out the western side of our Kingsport coverage zone. No matter which part of the city you're in — whether it's near Eastman Chemical's gates, the Fort Henry Mall corridor, or a quiet residential block — we're dispatching from just a few miles away in Mount Carmel and can reach you fast.
