Do you know how your car gets help when it breaks down? Let’s look at how tow trucks changed to help more people every day!

The Start of Towing: Early Days

Long ago, towing was very hard. Before cars, people used horses and big hooks. Pulling a car was slow. The first wrecker truck was made by Ernest Holmes Sr.. He used chains, levers, and a winch. It was hard work and not always safe.

  • Electric Winch is fast.
  • LED Lighting is bright and saves power.

Today’s Wreckers: Smart and Strong
