How we work Forest Park
Forest Park is a Clayton County city on I-75 south, just inside the I-285 arc. Forest Parkway (GA-331), US-41/19 and the interstate carry the traffic, and the Atlanta State Farmers Market, one of the largest in the country, sits in town and pulls constant truck traffic. The former Fort Gillem grounds have been redeveloped into a large logistics hub, which adds even more commercial vehicles to the mix. That freight base defines the towing work here: box trucks, tractor units and delivery vans on I-75 and Forest Parkway, plus ordinary older-vehicle breakdowns and apartment private-property tows across the city. Private tows follow Georgia's O.C.G.A. 44-1-13, with the 50-foot entrance-sign rule and the first 24 hours free of storage, and DPS Tariff No. 5 caps the tow at $228 and daily storage at $33. The operator we send covers I-75, Forest Parkway and the US-41/19 corridor, running heavier equipment for the commercial calls and wheel-lift or flatbed for cars.

Common Forest Park cost questions
How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in Forest Park?
At Hartsfield-Jackson the impound storage fee is $2.50 a day after the first day, and an illegal stop near the airport can add a fine from $50 to over $350 on top of the tow.

What do I need to get my impounded car back in Forest Park?
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 Forest Park?
Airport storage is $2.50 a day after the first day, and a private-lot tow accrues up to $33 a day after a free first 24 hours under Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5. O.C.G.A. Section 40-11-1 treats a vehicle left 30 days as abandoned. Either way the meter runs, so claiming the car early costs less.
Can Quick Tow Atlanta get my car out of impound in Forest Park?
No, and it's worth being straight about that.
