About Us

More 

Carter and Sons Service Center was founded in 1991 by the late Donnie Carter. Donnie was a veteran born and raised in Arkansas. Donnie opened Plaza Citgo Service in February 1991, a full service gas station in the plaza shopping center. In 1992, Donnie purchased his first tow truck and opened "Donnie's Plaza Wrecker." Within the next year he was towing for the Mountain Home Police Department, Baxter County Sheriffs Office, and the Arkansas State Police. He also purchased "Claud's Towing" that year and had 3 trucks by this time. 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 as well. 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 large repair facility with just over 1 acre of storage capacity and opened it in 2001, dropping the Dodd Creek name becoming what is now "Carter and Sons Service Center.
