Meet Our Tow Professionals

At Barnes Auto & Towing, our story is about more than trucks and tow chains — it’s about people. Behind every call we answer, every roadside rescue, and every mile we drive, there’s a dedicated team working together to make it happen. As we grow and celebrate the opening of our second location in Sanford, NC, we’re especially proud to highlight the men and women who represent the heart of our company.

For over 40 years, we’ve served the Chapel Hill community with professionalism, integrity, and the kind of care that only comes from a family-run business. Today, with over 20 trucks and a growing team, we still hold to those same values — and it shows in the people who make up our crew.

Our team is built of dispatchers who answer your calls 24/7, often being the first calm and helpful voice in a stressful situation. We have skilled tow truck operators who not only drive through all conditions, day and night, but also change tires, deliver fuel, perform lockouts, and handle both light and heavy-duty recoveries. They take care of your vehicle like it’s their own — and they also maintain our fleet with that same level of care. In the background, our admin staff keeps the business running smoothly, ensuring we stay organized, efficient, and ready to help at a moment’s notice.

Every person on our team plays a crucial role. Each one is experienced, dependable, and committed to upholding the standards of safety, professionalism, and respect that our family has valued since day one. Most of our operators have over 20 years of experience and are Wreckmaster-certified — a reflection of the pride they take in doing the job right.

We’re incredibly thankful for the hard work and dedication our team shows every day — and for the trust our customers continue to place in us.

 This is our family, and we’re honored to introduce you to the people who help keep our wheels turning.
