Truck Help in Augusta & the CSRA

Getting around

No interstate links Savannah and Augusta directly, so most trucks come up on two-lane US and state highways and meet the interstate system in Augusta. I-20 runs east–west across the north side of the city and into North Augusta and Aiken County, South Carolina. I-520 (the Bobby Jones Expressway, called the Palmetto Parkway on the SC side) loops around the south side of the city and connects I-20 to the industrial areas near the airport.

South Augusta: the shop district

Most of the independent shops are in south Augusta, between Gordon Highway, Doug Barnard Parkway and Mike Padgett Highway (GA-56). Southside Diesel Repair on Marvin Griffin Rd runs three bays and three mobile units with 24/7 roadside service. Norman's Truck and Trailer on Perkins Rd, Letts Truck & Trailer on Tobacco Rd and G&C Diesel on Doug Barnard Pkwy are close by. Elite Diesel's Augusta shop and Cooper Truck & Trailer Repair are on the Gordon Highway side, closer to downtown.

Towing and mobile help

For a heavy wrecker, Wayne's Towing (Walden Dr, also serving Aiken and North Augusta) runs heavy and super-duty units including a mobile rotator, and Chancey's Wrecker Services on Mike Padgett Hwy handles heavy-duty and commercial recovery. C & A Mobile Repair Service and Cooper Truck & Trailer both advertise round-the-clock roadside response across the CSRA.

Before you call

Georgia and South Carolina both number exits by milepost, but the count restarts at the state line on the Savannah River, so tell dispatchers which state you're in. Georgia's I-20 exits near Augusta are in the high 190s; South Carolina's start again at 1. If you're blocking a lane, call 911 first.
