About us

Three generations on the hook

Same family, same shop, same phone number — since 1947.

Since 1947

Built on Lincoln Highway

Penndel Towing & Recovery started with one wrecker and a garage at 900 W. Lincoln Hwy. Three generations later, we run the same shop with a fleet that covers everything from a flat tire on Route 1 to a 40-ton rotator recovery.

We tow it. We recover it. We've done it since 1947. The trucks still wear the same cream script on deep-green doors that the first one did.

No damage, no drama

The right truck and the right rigging for the job. Your vehicle comes back the way we found it.
