About Startex, SC

A short run up from Woodruff along the mill-village roads north of town, Startex is a regular stop for our overnight and early-morning dispatch calls, right in the path of our wider Spartanburg towing coverage across Spartanburg County. It's a small community of around 1,500 people, and the calls we get here tend to be residential: vehicles that won't start overnight, cars stuck in yards or gravel drives, and the occasional tow to a shop in Spartanburg or Wellford. Startex sits between Woodruff and Spartanburg, so it's an easy stop on runs we're already making up that corridor. Expect a response in the 30 to 40 minute range, day or night.

Startex Mill

Startex Mill

Startex began as Tucapau, growing up around the Tucapau Mill, which started operating around 1895. In the mid-1930s the town and mill were renamed Startex, a blend of 'Star' and 'Tex' for textiles, and by the 1960s the mill employed 1,100 workers before closing in 1997. The mill complex and its 250-foot steel bridge over the Middle Tyger River are now part of a $30 million redevelopment into apartments, retail, and greenspace.

FAQ from Startex customers

Is Woodruff Towing & Roadside Assistance licensed and insured?
Yes. Woodruff Towing & Roadside Assistance is fully licensed and insured (Licensed & Insured). We carry general liability coverage on every tow.
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.
Do you serve Startex?
Yes. Startex is part of our regular service area. Typical response time: 30-40 minutes.
Do you charge extra to come to Startex?
No. Startex is inside our standard service radius, so the quoted price is the final price. No travel surcharges.
