Great service! We appreciate your help and professionalism getting a vehicle towed back onto our driveway safely.

I would have given them a 5 star rating because their services, timeliness and driver were very reliable as recommended. HOWEVER, the one negative occurred when I read their Privacy Policies administrated by CLOVER (12 pages) I was shocked what Clover is allowed to do with my personal information (customers) after the fact. Had I read their Privacy Policy for customers noted at bottom of receipt BEFORE using this company, I would have never used their service even though this is a great company.

Never a fun experience to have a wrecker show up. Driver was great and very curteous. Would certainly use Fountain City Wrecker again, but I would rather not have to. ;)

I had a great experience with this company from the call at dispatch to Mr. Marty the tow truck driver. Very friendly and helpful. I am very thankful Mr. Marty came in a timely manner when I was stuck on Alcoa Hwy. please be mindful when there is a service vehicles on the side of the road to “move over” thank you

Driver did an excellent job BUT, didnt leave my tow receipt. Left someone elses. Which caused me to have to make an unnecessary trip to Tow Company.

Fountain city towing told me to leave the keys in car and they would come pick it up and drop it off at my house because it was hot outside and they did not want me waiting in the heat. After two hours of waiting at home when I called fountain city towing. I was told that it would be another hour before they could pick up my car because they just got back to the office & had to pick up a wreck first no call, no heads up. Very unprofessional they would not even give me a quote on the price of the tow because of the driveways on my street we’re not very goodAnd after I pressured them and asked three or four times I was quoted between 85 and $100 so let’s not be confused

I had an accident on Broadway just a few weeks ago. Fountain City Wrecker Service was so understanding, caring and nice to me. I was pretty shaken up, very upset and in tears. The driver just happened to be driving by and stopped to check on me. Of course I used your services. His name was Big Guy John. Thank you!!

I am so thankful there are still some good folks in the world. I called this company in need of someone to come let me in my car since my keys got locked inside. They were more than happy to come out and help but said it would be a couple hours but that was fine because we are at a hotel so we’d have somewhere warm to wait but I got a call back from Mr. Ron about 5 minutes later saying he spoke with a colleague that could get to us a lot quicker than he could and he didn’t want us having to wait any longer than necessary. The kindness he showed me and my little family is very much appreciated and I would imagine their service is just as impeccable. Thank you Fountain City Wrecker.

Thanks so much to Marty at Fountain City Wrecker!!! He was so helpful and quick in loading my car up and hauling it to Powell, all the while listening to a crazy woman in pajamas talk the whole ride...he has the patience of Job!!! He made an embarrassing situation way more bearable!!! I will most definitely be calling Fountain City Wrecker again if I ever need them and will also be telling all my family and friends!!! Thanks Fountain City Wrecker!!! I’m grateful for what y’all do for our community-stay safe out there!!!

Marty was very professional while towing my car, and made the trip to the car dealership, pleasant. I would recommend this business for your towing needs.

Review №14

I was charged 150 dollars for a truck tow all because the cops called it in as a wreck. Ot was a little fonder bender. No debries on the road. Tow truck driver had to pick up ZERO debries as there wasnt any so therefore there was absolutely no reason we had to pay the extra 75 dollars. Honestly I feel robbed at this point. After calling the business to complain, my husband and I were given a reply of we have plenty of customers. By the lady who is supposed to be in charge. Very very unprofessional!!!

Just wanted to leave a great review for even better customer service! Vanessa #1 was beyond amazing with how she dealt with my situation over the phone and to get someone out to help me, which was Chris #43, in a very timely manner!

Marty was at my location within 15 minutes of me calling. He was quick to get to work, thought outside the box to prevent the need for a second truck, and saved my morning. Marty’s personality and cheer definitely helped to alleviate some stress of needing a tow truck.

Review №23

Cant remember the drivers name but he was greatTwo weeks ago he showed up at the pilot station because my car had died.I was gonna get a towHad no idea what was wrong with it, wouldnt start.Tried jumping off from a friends car and it wasnt big enough to get it done.Then tried a another customers big van.Nothing . at that point i thought i was replacing a starter the next day.Was pretty depressed about the situation.Then Fountain City wrecker showed up and that driver was my hero >that was dead to the world 🌎Turned over and started up ☝. It was the most glorious sound i could have ever heard on a Friday night 🌙That driver saved me so much time and effort trying diagnose my car. Instead of a starter it was just a completely dead battery.He went above and beyond and i will always call the great folks at Fountain City wrecker in the future.Five ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ serviceI hope the driver gets recognised for his heroism.Thank you

10/10 would recommend, and if you can ask for Marty!! He came out late at night with a rollback, and recommended us to wait while he got a snatch back truck so we didn’t mess our car up any more. He was super helpful, and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to help us. Sad our car broke down, but thankful we had someone like Marty to help us out. Thank you! ☺️🙏🏼

Marty was a very courteous driver and this isnt the first time Ive used Fountain City Towing and with my luck, probably wont be the last time. At least theyre reliable and arent off fishing a tournament without having someone else to mind the business, nor do they book all of their wrecker for the weekend without allowing other potential customer to give them business. Thank you Marty and Fountain City Wrecker Service.

I had a bad day. In the absolute middle of my starting and end point, my car gave out on me. My nearest contact was 3.5 hours away and I was stranded. Im young, this hasnt happened to me before and I was scared. John came and helped me out for a very reasonable price. He was making jokes the whole time to help keep my spirit up. Good and helpful people.

Marty was VERY helpful and went above and beyond to help us after we had a ball joint failure. He not only gave us a great recommendation, but drove us home and answered all questions we had. Hopefully we wont need a tow anytime soon, but if we do well definitely be calling looking for Marty. Thank you again Marty for all your help!

He even gave me a ride home and dropped my truck off where it needed to go. Very pleased. Bonus it didnt cost me an arm and a leg to tow it, so thank yall! Will call again if needed!

Vanessa and Marty at Fountain City wreckers are absolutely awesome! They took such great care of me, unfortunately i was in a tough spot to find and Vanessa took her time and was patient with me until we found exactly the coordinates we needed for Marty to find me, and Marty was right on time and even called to let me know where he was and how far out, and upon arrival was very professional and took great care of me, sometimes it can be overwhelming in situations like these so haveing people like them take care of you makes the experience that much easier. I always choose Fountain City wreckers first for reasons like these!

I’ve used this company twice now but this time they cannot tow it off the impound lot without insurance. Last time they pulled it off without a physical destination address and took it off the tow truck. They can lose their license for this! The guy was rude enough to even hang up in my face.

Friday, July 24, 2020. Saw two of their big trucks running blocker side by side going into a construction zone and further choking down traffic flow. PD would have ticketed them as PD tries to keep traffic flowing, even in construction zones.Called their dispatch and was told they were looking for a broken down truck. They did not find one between exit 407 and the interchange with 640. Just impeding the flow of traffic.

Called the evening before to see about getting a tow for next morning. Employee said call back at 8:30 a.m. I called at 8:28 and was told they couldnt tow our vehicle at 10:30 a.m. why? They have multiple tow trucks. Drove by at 10:30 and there were several sitting in the lot. Hhmm.

Review №64

Ive used them several times over the years and the service was usually great. However the last time I used them it was to tow my sons car after a wreck. Everything was great until we got there to retrieve my sons belongings cause the car wasnt totaled. When I say we I mean myself my son and his girlfriend. This is where the service went downhill. My son and I get out of the vehicle to talk to the gentleman that came out to greet us. At this time we are talking to one gentleman. My sons girlfriend then gets out of my vehicle and when she does every employee that was inside all came out and started talking to this girl asking if she was my sons sister and if not if they were dating and if they were dating how serious they were. None of which had anything to do with my sons vehicle. It was so bad that I was embarrassed and I found myself apologizing to her the entire way home and I dont even work there. You would have thought these gentlemen had never seen a female before it was totally unprofessional. I never had this problem in the past when I dealt with them. I dont know if this is because of new ownership or what needless to say I will not be going back there nor will I be sending my wife and I certainly wont refer any females that we may know there. So just a word of advice if youre a female. Take someone with you and men dont send your wives or your girlfriend there.

He stayed with me at the shop and came into the hotel to make sure I got check in. I give them ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. You guys are #1 in my book. Theres guys went wayyyyy above there job.

Called them on Sunday afternoon and they said they would be there in less than an hour. 2 hours later, I called and was told that they came to the Petro Truck Stop but I wasnt there. After telling him I hadnt ( couldnt ) move, he finally said they just didnt want to come out on a Sunday afternoon. Terrible business. I would push my car before using them. Use as your own risk.

They got my vehicle out in a couple of minutes with no damage whatsoever; it was hung on a wall!! They showed up quickly, were polite and courteous, and the bill was more than reasonable. Their number is permanently in my phone.Edit: Im adding another 5 stars. These dudes towed my antique hearse that probably weighs more than their rollback. Again they were punctual, again they got it home fast. Seriously, I wasnt even late to work. The wheel bearing had come apart; this total badass tow truck driver didnt even break the wheel off hauling my heavy beast up the rollback ramp. If there was a button for 20 stars, Id push it for Fountain City Wrecker!

These guys are awesome. Their service is 2nd to none. They go above and beyond. Coming from Cincinnati, our car broke down on I-75 just north of Knoxville as we were headed to Pigeon Forge for the weekend. Zach picked us up and and towed our car to the shop. Wanting to continue to our weekend trip, we ordered an Uber to take us to the airport and pick up a rental car. After having the Uber cancel on us, the Big Guy took us himself. He didnt have to do that. We greatly appreciated it. Definately above and beyond his duties. I cant say enough about these fellas and this company. I highly recommend them! Thank you!

I called Fountain City Wrecker Service on Saturday, the guy was RUDE and very unprofessional. He seemed to be of little help on pricing or availability. While sitting at the gas station on Broaadway one of their drivers pulled up. He asked if I needed help and introduced himself. Mr Chad Smith was knowledgeable and very PROFESSIONAL.Mr Smith was a beacon of hope, in this dark world of rude unprofessionals.Would use them again, but next time I will ask for Chad Smith.
