T & W Towing started in a small two-bay shop on Main Street in Albert Lea. Starting with one light-duty wrecker, and the owners' personal pickup for service calls, they offered a light-duty repair shop in addition to towing. After a few short years, T & W Towing grew to focus only on towing and recovery and stopped repairing Light Duty Vehicles. Adding a 35-ton Heavy Wrecker, and a semi to our Light Duty Fleet after a short time, we recognized the need for a locally owned company specializing in Heavy-Duty Towing and Recovery that focused on the best level of service any company can give. T & W Towing focuses on growing relationships with our customers, and providing them with State-of-the-Art equipment, with the highest trained operators in the area. That focus has led us to be the largest company in the area, with a fleet approaching 30 pieces of equipment, including the area's ONLY Air Cushion Recovery System, a 5 winch Rotator with a Side-Puller, a purpose-built long-distance Tow Unit, and Wreckers ranging from 8 to 50 Ton Capacity-multiple 4x4 with snowplows. We have also added multiple specialized pieces of equipment for hauling equipment including Landolls, Lowboys, Step decks, and Rollbacks. T & W Towing also offers extremely specialized equipment such as our Off-Road Recovery Winch Box, an Excavator with a thumb and blade, Wheel Loader, and multiple HAZMAT Service Trucks to respond to your needs as quickly as possible.
To accommodate our growth and goals, we moved to our current Headquarters at 2046 Sorensen Road in 2019, with a 4-bay shop plus a second 3-bay Truck Parking Shed, sleeping quarters for our staff on call, 4 acres of parking space for our HD Truck Customers, and a fenced, lighted, secure storage lot with cameras. With our new facility we started to offer Full HD Truck Repair, adding full-time mechanics with nearly 40 years' combined experience. Our shop has dealer level diagnostic software and can handle almost anything you need, from basic maintenance, AC or Heating to large repairs you may need, we can handle it! In 2022 seeing an increased need for services in Worth County T & W opened a second location in Northwood Iowa at 2090 Central Avenue, and in 2023 due to increased call volume we opened a facility in Owatonna MN at 1750 State Avenue. T & W Towing now boasts the ability to perform roadside repair, forced regens, Full Recovery, Tractor Trailer Towing, Nationwide Towing, Tire Repair or Replacement as well as HD Lifting, Equipment Hauling, Off Road Recovery and many other services. If you need it, we can handle it. Our focus on building relationships with our customers has led to our increased growth, and maintaining those relationships is the core of our business values. Most Towing companies focus either on Motorclub, or Law Enforcement work-T & W Towing has strived to be different since our inception, with over 90% of our work geared towards our direct customer, putting the priority on our relationship with the customer!
