How we work Clarkston
Clarkston is a small DeKalb city with an outsized story: it's a refugee resettlement hub where more than 60 languages are spoken, one of the most diverse places in the country. It is not Hispanic-dominant like the Buford Highway corridor, so Spanish helps here but is one language among many, and plain, patient dispatch matters more than any single tongue. East Ponce de Leon Avenue and Memorial Drive are the main corridors, with I-285's east arc just west and Georgia State's Perimeter campus nearby. Dense apartment housing drives the towing pattern: tenant and guest vehicles towed from complex lots under O.C.G.A. 44-1-13, which requires posted signage near each entrance, a written owner contract and a per-vehicle call rather than an automatic patrol. An impounded car is released from the DeKalb County lot at 2158 Tucker Industrial Rd in Tucker, (770) 493-9083, at $125 plus $15 a day. The operator we send covers East Ponce de Leon, Memorial Drive and the apartment communities in between.

Common Clarkston cost questions
How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in Clarkston?
The DeKalb County lot at 2158 Tucker Industrial Rd, Tucker, charges a $125 impound fee plus $15 a day in storage; a proposed increase was under review, so confirm the current daily rate when you call. If a private property towed it instead, that runs under Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5, which caps the tow of a vehicle at or under 10,000 pounds at $228.
What do I need to get my impounded car back in Clarkston?
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 Clarkston?
Storage at the DeKalb lot runs $15 a day, so calling early costs less than calling late. Under O.C.G.A. Section 40-11-1 a vehicle left 30 days is treated as abandoned, and the charges keep accruing until you claim it. Confirm the current daily rate and the paperwork with the lot before you drive out.
Can Quick Tow Atlanta get my car out of impound in Clarkston?
No, and it's worth being straight about that. We connect drivers with private tow and roadside operators; we aren't the pound, the county or the police department holding your car, so we can't waive anyone's fees or release it faster. What we can do is help you work out who has it and what the process is, and line up an operator to move it once it's released. Call (678) 379-5984.
