How we work Tucker
Tucker sits in northeast DeKalb County right beside Spaghetti Junction, the Tom Moreland Interchange where I-285 meets I-85, and it's the one place on this map where the county impound lot actually is. That lot, at 2158 Tucker Industrial Rd, (770) 493-9083, is where DeKalb-impounded vehicles are released at $125 plus $15 a day, so a lot of Tucker traffic is people coming to get a car back. Lawrenceville Highway (US-29), Northlake and the I-285 corridor carry the rest of the demand, with the Northlake commercial district generating retail-lot and breakdown calls. The interchange work is high-speed crash and breakdown recovery; the surface work is arterial breakdowns and private-property tows under O.C.G.A. 44-1-13, with rates capped by the Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5. The operator we send covers Lawrenceville Highway, Northlake, the I-285 arc and the ramps at Spaghetti Junction, running flatbed for interchange recovery and wheel-lift for the local call.

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