About Wallens Towing

Four generations. One reputation for honest, dependable service — since 1933.

Four Generations — Luther, Danny, Daniel, Dylan — Wallens Towing since 1933
Family business

Built by Wallens, for our community

In 1933, founder Luther M. Wallen started Wallen Wrecker Service & Garage. Over the years Luther incorporated a fuel station, auto repair, salvage yard, and restaurant — all on one property. Many people and their families still remember Luther for his respected business.

In the 1940s Luther married Cecille King. Ironically, Cecille’s family was also in the wrecker service and truck repair business, as well as the well-known restaurant King’s Korner. Many people today still have fond memories of both places.
