About I-85 near Woodruff, SC

Interstate 85 crosses the northern edge of our coverage area, and the exits we work most are Exit 60 at SC-101, Exit 63 at SC-290 in Duncan, Exit 66 at US-29 near Wellford, and Exit 68 at SC-129. Exit 60 is about 14 miles up SC-101 from Woodruff, which is why response times on the interstate run a little longer than in town. I-85 links Greenville, Spartanburg, and Charlotte, so a breakdown here can mean a local driver a few miles from home or a car, truck, or trailer that is passing through. Give dispatch your direction, the nearest exit or mile marker, and what you're driving, and we send the right truck. Typical response runs 35 to 50 minutes, and you get an honest ETA before we roll.

I-85 crosses Spartanburg County for about 28 miles and is the main link between Greenville, Spartanburg, and Charlotte. That mix of local and through traffic means our calls here range from a flat tire a few miles from home to a truck or trailer that has gone down far from its base. The interstate is also where a wrong-size truck costs the most time, so we ask what you're driving before we dispatch.

Exit numbers on I-85 follow the mile markers too. Tell dispatch your direction (northbound toward Spartanburg and Charlotte, or southbound toward Greenville and Atlanta) and the nearest exit or mile marker. If you can see the exit sign for SC-101, SC-290, US-29, or SC-129, that is enough for us to start moving a truck.

What's around I-85

Exit 60 at SC-101 is the way back down to Woodruff and Reidville, and the BMW plant sits on Highway 101 South just off the interchange. Exit 63 at SC-290 is the main road into Duncan, where the interstate crosses the Middle Tyger River just ahead of the exit. Exit 66 at US-29 and Exit 68 at SC-129 both serve Wellford, along with neighboring Lyman. If your breakdown started on the road into any of these towns, see our SC-101 page, or our I-26 page if you were headed south.

FAQ from I-85 drivers

Do you tow from I-85 near Duncan and Wellford?
Yes. We work I-85 from Exit 60 (SC-101) through Exit 68 (SC-129), including the Duncan and Wellford exits. Call with your direction of travel and the nearest exit or mile marker, and we send a truck.
Which I-85 exits do you cover?
Exit 60 (SC-101), Exit 63 (SC-290, Duncan), Exit 66 (US-29, Wellford), and Exit 68 (SC-129). If you are on I-85 outside those exits, call anyway and dispatch will tell you honestly whether we can reach you and how long it will take.
What happens after an accident on I-85?
Move out of the travel lane if you can, call 911 if anyone is hurt, then call us. We wait for police clearance before recovering the vehicle and can take it to your insurance-approved shop or secure storage. Our accident recovery guide for I-85 near Wellford walks through the whole process.
Can you tow a box truck, RV, or trailer from I-85?
Yes. Our heavy-duty towing handles box trucks, dually pickups, RVs, and commercial trailers. Tell dispatch what you are driving so the right rig comes the first time.
Can you take me a long way from I-85?
Yes. We do longer hauls, and Duncan on I-85 is where we see most of them. Give dispatch your pickup and drop-off, and we quote the whole trip up front. See our long-distance towing service and our guide to long-distance towing near Duncan for details.
Does Woodruff Towing & Roadside Assistance tow all types of vehicles?
Yes. We handle cars, trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles. Tell our dispatcher what you're driving and where you are, and we'll send a truck that's the right fit for the job.
How much does a tow cost?
Every tow is different, so we do not post a flat number online. We give you a clear, upfront quote by phone before we ever dispatch a truck. Call (864) 756-8255 for a fast, free quote, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
How fast can you get to me?
Response times vary by exactly where you are located. We always give you an honest, specific ETA on the phone before dispatch, so you know when to expect us before you commit to a tow.
What should I do while I wait for the tow truck?
If you can safely do so, move your vehicle onto the shoulder or as far from traffic as possible, turn on your hazard lights, and stay inside your vehicle with your seatbelt on if it is safe. If you feel unsafe where you are, tell our dispatcher and stay on the line.
Will you work with my insurance company after an accident?
Yes. We can tow your vehicle directly to your insurance-approved shop or to secure storage, and we can document the vehicle condition at pickup to support your claim. We do not bill insurance directly; you will receive an itemized receipt to submit to your carrier.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept cash, debit, and all major credit cards on scene. You will always know the total before we do the work, no surprise charges added afterward.
Are you really available 24 hours a day?
Yes, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Breakdowns and accidents do not wait for business hours, so neither do we.
Can you help if I'm locked out of my car?
Yes. Getting locked out happens to plenty of careful, capable people, it's not something to stress over. Our roadside team can open most vehicles right where you're parked, without damaging the locks or paintwork. Just have some way to confirm the car is yours when we arrive, and in most cases you won't need a tow at all.
