Truck Help in the SC Lowcountry

North of the Savannah River, I-95 runs about 80 miles through Jasper, Colleton and Dorchester counties before it meets I-26, and US-278 and US-21 branch off toward Bluffton, Hilton Head and Beaufort. Services are spread out, so it pays to know where they are before you need them.

Hardeeville and Bluffton: Exits 5–8

The first South Carolina exits are about 15 miles from downtown Savannah. Exit 5 at Hardeeville (US-17) has a 24-hour Pilot, and Lowcountry Auto Diesel works on gas and diesel engines from a shop in the Hardeeville industrial park — call ahead to confirm they can take a Class 8 truck. Exit 8 (US-278) leads to Bluffton and Hilton Head Island, where Palmetto Towing & Recovery runs heavy-duty wreckers around the clock. Between the river and Exit 8, Savannah-based wreckers and mobile mechanics can also be close.

Beaufort

Beaufort is about 25 miles east of I-95, reached by US-21 from Exit 33 or SC-170 from the Bluffton side. It's home to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and the Parris Island recruit depot, so expect base traffic and gate rules for deliveries. Carolina Truck Repair on Shanklin Rd does heavy-duty truck and trailer work in the shop or on site, and Interstate Towing & Recovery on Bay Pines Rd runs light-to-heavy wreckers 24/7.

Point South and Yemassee: Exits 33–38

At Point South (Exit 33), US-17 splits off toward Charleston and US-21 heads to Beaufort. Five miles north, Exit 38 (SC-68) at Yemassee has a Love's with a Truck Care shop for tires, oil changes and light mechanical work.

Walterboro and St. George: Exits 53–82

Walterboro is the main town on this stretch. Circle C 24/7, near Exit 68, does in-shop and mobile truck and tire repair with 24/7 roadside response, and All Fleet's Walterboro shop handles trailer repair and DOT inspections by appointment. Just before the I-26 interchange (Exit 86), St. George has a Flying J at Exit 77, a Pilot at Exit 82 and Southern Tire Mart #176. From there, I-26 east leads to the Charleston-area shops.

Stay safe on a rural interstate

Much of this stretch has long gaps between exits. Note the last mile marker you passed — South Carolina exit numbers match mileposts from the Georgia line — and give it to the wrecker or 911 dispatcher. South Carolina's Move Over law covers stopped emergency and service vehicles, but get as far onto the shoulder as you can and put out your triangles.
