Hodges Garage & Towing is a family owned and operated business, which has been a major factor in its success. In March 1977, Jim Hodges started his towing business in his back yard with one wrecker.   His son Mike joined him in the business as soon as he got his driver’s license in 1979.  Mike took over the business in 1998. Mike’s son, Kyle joined the business in 2007.   We have three generations of experience, equipment and training needed to handle all of your towing and recovery needs. We sell service and pride ourselves in professionalism and dependability. Towing and recovery is all we do. When you call, we respond promptly and get the job done right the first time.

Hodges Garage & Towing works closely with law enforcement and other first responders.  Our drivers help to clear the scene of an accident and open the roads.  We assist in traffic control.  

From the heaviest construction equipment or tractor-trailer to the smallest compact car, Hodges Garage & Towing has certified experienced operators on call 24/7 covering the Piedmont area of the Carolinas and beyond that are ready to exceed your expectations. Our commitment to ongoing training guarantees the highest level of expertise whether a service call or a complicated recovery scene.
