How we work Austell
Austell is a small city in southwest Cobb County, right where Interstate 20 runs the east-west long haul between Atlanta and Birmingham. Six Flags Over Georgia sits on the Austell and Mableton line, and on busy park days its lots and the neighborhoods around them see the parking enforcement and unauthorized-parking tows that any major venue generates. I-20 itself carries the crash and breakdown volume, including the occasional heavy recovery when a truck goes down. Away from the interstate and the park, the work is ordinary: lockouts, dead batteries and apartment private-property tows. Those private tows follow O.C.G.A. 44-1-13, with signage required within 50 feet of each lot entrance, and Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5, which caps the tow fee and charges no storage for the first 24 hours. The operator we send covers the I-20 corridor, the Six Flags district and the surface arterials, running flatbed for expressway recovery and wheel-lift for the local call.

Common Austell cost questions
How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in Austell?

For a vehicle at or under 10,000 pounds the tow is capped at $228, storage at $33 a day with no charge for the first 24 hours, and total notification charges at $91. Ask the department or lot that ordered the tow which fees apply to you.
What do I need to get my impounded car back in Austell?
Bring valid photo identification and proof that you own the vehicle, usually the title or a current registration, plus a lien release or a notarized authorization if you're claiming it for someone else. A private lot operating under Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5 must post its retrieval address, its cost of recovery and its accepted payment methods on its required sign. Every lot sets its own exact list, so call the one holding your car and ask before you drive over.
What happens if I don't pick up my car in Austell?
Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5 charges no storage for the first 24 hours, then up to $33 a day, so the earlier you claim the car the less you owe. O.C.G.A. Section 40-11-1 treats a vehicle left 30 days as abandoned. Call the lot or department that ordered the tow to confirm the total before you go.
