About me
I’m Jim Howe. They call me Big Jim. I opened this shop in 2016 on South Main in Crossville. The silhouette on the window is me.

This is a family shop. My wife Amanda — Puddin’ — is an accomplished racer and a crucial part of everything we do: racing, writing bonds, the office, the car. Nothing we run runs without her. Our son Jimmy races, tunes, and writes bonds in the 13th. He is a third-generation championship drag racer.

Answers, plainly
Questions you may have.
How much does a bail bond cost?+
In Tennessee the premium is typically a percentage of the bond amount, plus any jail or filing fees. We quote the number on the call — no surprise add-ons after you get here.
Who can sign?+
A responsible adult with a valid ID. Usually a parent, spouse, or close family member. They are promising the defendant will make court, not paying the whole bond in cash.
What do I bring to the office?+
A photo ID and a way to pay the premium (card or the plan we set on the phone). If we already have the defendant’s information, you can be in and out quickly.
Where do you write bonds right now?+
Open now in Cumberland County (Crossville) and Putnam County (Cookeville). Coming soon in the rest of the 13th and the 12th. Call anyway if you are not sure.
I already have a balance with you.+
