Carter and Sons Service Center was founded in 1991 by Donnie Carter. Donnie opened Plaza Citgo Service, a full service gas station in the plaza shopping center. In 1992 Donnie purchased his first tow truck and opened Donnies Plaza Wrecker. Within the next year he was towing for the Mountain Home Police Department, Baxter County S.O., and the Arkansas State Police. He also purchased Claud's Towing that year and had 3 trucks by this time. In late 95 he also purchased Wayne's Muffler World Towing. In 1996 he opened Dodd Creek Repair and Wrecker and his oldest son Jason ran it on the west side of Mountain Home. Then in late 1997 He again purchased Twin Lakes Towing and ran that company also. In 2000 his youngest son came on board and ran Twin Lakes Towing on the North side of Mountain Home, but Donnie had other ideas for his now 3 towing locations and 2 repair operations. In late 2000 he purchased commercial property on Hwy. 62 East and began building a 4 bay, 2 deep repair facility with just over 1 acre of storage capacity and opened it in 2001, dropping the Dodd Creek name and becoming what is now, Carter and Sons Service Center. Both of his sons are still here, Jason as shop manager and operator and Daniel as towing operations manager and operator. In Feb. 2009 Jason received his WreckMaster level 2/3 towing and recovery specialist certification. In October of 2009, Jason received his WreckMaster level 4/5, making the areas only 4/5 certified operator. In July of 2010, Jason attended a 2 day class by Tom Luciano, a advanced training specialist from Miller Industries. He received the Advanced Heavy Duty Recovery certificate, making one of this areas most certified operators. Donnie still lives in the area with his wife and says he's semi-retired. Donnie was born and raised in Arkansas and is a veteran. 

    Carter and Sons Service Center has always tried to give back to the local community where we live. For the past 10 years we have sponsored a youth baseball team in Norfork and Jason has coached those teams for the same amount of time. Carter and Sons Service Center has also helped, Twin Lakes Shirne Circus, Local Wild Turkey Federation, Arkansas State Police teddy bear program, Arkansas Game and Fish sponsor, Arkansas Sheriff's Association, and with many other local charities.
