Profile
In April of 1971, Billy Howard opened a full-service station in Smyrna, Georgia. He purchased his first tow truck a few months later, in July, primarily to service his own customers. But as the business grew and his reputation as an honest business man spread, there soon was a need for a second tow truck. Soon afterwards he bought a second tow truck and Howard’s Wrecker Service was born.
Cobb County has grown since 1971, and Howard’s has grown with it. Today, we operate a fleet of 11 tow trucks, including large wreckers, and a “Specialized Rollback” capable of moving the lowest of exotic cars.
In 1977, we opened a collision repair shop in a small two-bay building. We have since moved into a 3500 sq. ft. facility complete with a “Grabber” Frame Repair System, Down Draft Spray Booth, large enough to accommodate medium trucks, and a Dupont computerized paint mixing system.
We also have a 2-acre secure storage facility, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We conduct monthly auctions of abandoned & derelict cars, open to the public.
