Need towing or roadside help in Powell? Call (865) 606-6676 with your vehicle, nearest cross street, and direction of travel. On I-75, include the exit or mile marker and whether you are on a ramp or shoulder so the team can confirm access and availability.
Most of what we run in Powell comes off the interstate. I-75 is the spine here and the Emory Road interchange feeds a steady stream of breakdowns, blown tires and cars that quit on the ramp rather than out in a lane.
Away from the interstate it is subdivisions and older frontage along Clinton Highway. Driveways are long, some are steep, and a car that will not roll at the top of one is a winch job rather than a straight hook.
How the roads run around Powell
Emory Road carries the east and west traffic and it backs up badly at the interstate at commuting hours. Clinton Highway runs parallel to I-75 and is the fallback when the interstate is closed, which means a wreck up near Norris puts everything onto it at once.
That matters for arrival times. If I-75 is shut northbound, we come up Clinton Highway with everyone else and it takes what it takes.
My car died on the I-75 ramp at Emory Road. Where should I wait?
Get it as far onto the shoulder as it will go, hazards on, and get out on the passenger side and behind the guardrail if there is one. Ramps have short sightlines and drivers come around them faster than they should.
Can you get a truck up a steep gravel driveway?
Usually, and tell us it is gravel and steep when you call. After heavy rain we may winch from the road instead of driving up, which is slower and a lot safer for the surface.
