Common Towing Questions in Charleston, SC
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Mitchell's is a family-owned, DOT-registered carrier, US DOT #2924553, licensed and insured. Whether it's your car or a piece of heavy equipment, it's handled by people who do this for a living and stand behind the work.
Do you tow EVs and Teslas?
Yes. We tow EVs and Teslas on the flatbed, which is the safe way to move them, their drivetrains shouldn't be dragged on the wheels. Tell us the make and model when you call so we're set up right.
Do you tow motorcycles?
No, we don't tow motorcycles. Our trucks are set up for cars, pickups, heavy equipment, and boats. For a bike you'll want a hauler that specializes in motorcycles, so it's secured the way it should be.
Can you reach the sea islands and gated communities?
Yes. We run out to Johns Island, Wadmalaw, Edisto, Kiawah, Seabrook, and Folly regularly, and we know how the gate access works. Tell us you're on the island when you call and we'll sort the details before we roll.
What should I do while I wait for the truck?
Get to a safe spot. If you're on a shoulder, pull as far off as you can, put your hazards on, and stay out of the travel lane, behind a guardrail if there is one. If it's safer to wait in the car with your seatbelt on, do that.
Do you charge to give a quote?
No. Call (843) 813-6335, tell us the job, and we'll give you an honest price up front. No fee for the quote, no surprise add-ons when we show up. That straight-shooting is most of why folks call us back.
Are you really available 24/7?
Yes. Dispatch runs day and night, weekends and holidays. You reach a real person who can send a truck, often the owner himself.
How much does a tow cost?
It depends on the vehicle, distance, and the job, so we quote it up front before we hook up. Our reviews say it best: fair pricing, no surprises.
What areas do you serve?
Ravenel, Hollywood, Meggett, Adams Run, the sea islands (Johns, Wadmalaw, Kiawah, Seabrook, Edisto), West Ashley, James Island, Charleston, Summerville, and out to Walterboro and Colleton County.
Do you do more than tow cars?
A lot more. We haul heavy equipment, machinery, boats, sheds, and containers, and we handle heavy-duty recovery for semis, buses, and RVs. If it rolls, floats, or won't budge, ask us.
Do you take credit cards?
Yes. Confirm current payment options when you call, but we aim to make paying easy, customers regularly mention how straightforward it is.
Can you move a vehicle long-distance?
Yes. We're a DOT-registered carrier (US DOT #2924553) and handle long-distance vehicle transport, not just local tows.
Will you tell me if I don't need a tow?
We will. If a jump-start or a tire change gets you going, that's what we'll do. Trevor's known for not selling people a tow they don't need.
Why might a scheduled haul take a few days?
Live breakdowns and accidents always come first. For non-urgent jobs like a shed move, we'll give you an honest window and keep you posted rather than overpromise.
