Tow Pro

What Tow Pro does

Tow Pro is a privately held, family-owned towing and recovery company headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, operating seven physical locations across Middle, East, and West Tennessee with adjacent service reach into Southaven, Mississippi and West Memphis, Arkansas. The company delivers 24/7 dispatch services across light-duty towing, heavy-duty recovery (including 75-ton rotators), specialized oversized-load transport, hazardous-materials recovery, private-property impounding, roadside assistance (jump-starts, lockouts, tire changes, fuel delivery), and junk car removal. The operating platform is built around a diversified fleet of wheel-lift trucks, flatbed-rollback units, tractor-trailers, landoll traveling-axle trailers, and heavy rotators, supported by an in-house client portal (towxchange.net) for account management and a TRAA-aligned operator certification program. The core technology differentiator is fleet breadth and human-operated dispatch rather than software IP.

The holding entity consolidates six retained sub-brands with multi-decade local histories: A.B. Collier Wrecker Service (Nashville, est. 1929), Cedar Bluff Towing (Knoxville, est. 2002), Chestnut Street Transport (Knoxville), Cotton's Towing (Antioch, 30+ years), Davenport's Towing & Recovery (Memphis, est. 1954), and Independent Towing & Recovery (Lebanon). Revenue is generated primarily on a transaction-fee basis per tow or per service call, with pricing quote-based rather than publicly disclosed, supplemented by ancillary used-equipment sales from fleet rotation. Customers span individual vehicle owners (primary), commercial fleet operators, construction and industrial firms, and property managers requiring impounding services. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer via phone and web forms, with referral inflow from the NTTS Breakdown Directory and social-proof from 8,919 published testimonials plus an A+ BBB rating. The company has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and operates across both consumer and enterprise verticals without any AI/ML positioning.
