Absolute Towing
Whatever kind of trouble you might get into on the road, Absolute Towing and Recovery, located at the back of 207 Beersheba St., can probably take care of your problem.
Owner and operator Zeke Newby says Absolute Towing and Recovery is there to help, and you can call 24 hours a day. The number is pretty easy to remember too. It’s 931-507-TOWS (931-507-8697). The company, which was started in January of this year, serves Warren and surrounding counties, including Cannon, Coffee, DeKalb and Grundy.
“We can do most any kind of roadside service,” Newby says. “Change flats, jump start cars, bring gas, handle breakdowns, accidents, whatever you need.”
Or, worst case scenario, Absolute Towing can at least get your vehicle back home if it refuses to move another inch under its own power.
Absolute Towing is certified to tow wrecked cars for both the city and county and is on rotation with other local towing services.
Newby has a well equipped shop with a secure storage lot that can safely store a number of vehicles either in the facility for repairs or those which have been towed and are waiting for owners to come and pick them up.
With its rollback truck the company can also handle your hauling needs, transporting vehicles most anywhere you might need them to go in the area.
But Absolute Towing isn’t limited to just towing and hauling. Newby and his employees, Brad Ayers and Jake Trapp, are also skilled at rebuilding rear ends.
“Mainly four wheel drives, but we can do cars, semi-trucks” Newby said. “We’ve done a semi rear end before. Your main setups, Toyotas, (Suzuki) Samurais, lockers, we do a lot of jeep stuff.”
Newby’s business grew out of his interest in four-wheel drive trucks and driving off-road. He says he has always enjoyed working on these types of vehicles and it seemed to be a natural progression to move into automotive repair and towing.
Newby says he likes the variety and independence of owning and operating his own business.
“It’s never the same thing,” Newby said. “Never a dull moment. You’re never doing the same thing, always something different. I’ve been fooling with trucks all my life. We’ve always gone out in the woods. It’s just something I like to do.”
Newby can also do some special order and custom work for off-road vehicles.
The company currently has two trucks, a class A wrecker and the rollback hauler, but Newby says he hopes to expand in the future.
So for all your rear end work, towing, roadside service and vehicle hauling needs give Absolute Towing and Recovery a call. Newby’s shop is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday, and the towing and roadside service is available 24 hours a day at 931-507-TOWS.
