History

Established in 1969.

In 1969, Joe’s Towing & Recovery started as a gas station with one truck operating in the Oakland /​Veterans in Bloomington area. After a move to Woodrig and Main, we faded out the gas station service, and in 1980, settled into our current location at 2233 Springfield Road. Our original location was less than½ acre with a small office &service bay. In 1992, with the rising needs of our community, we expanded our facilities to include a 30×60 2-​story office building and a 70×90 shop. The 90’s were a time of growth at Joe’s Towing & Recovery. We purchased property at 1207 Warriner and moved the storage of impounds towed out of Normal to this new location. In 2006, we added an office to handle releases and parking permits for Illinois State University. In 1998/​1999, we acquired 5.5 more acres at 2229 Springfield Rd, bringing our total acreage in Bloomington to 6.5 acres. In 2007 and 2008, we remodeled our office building to update our employee kitchen, meeting room, & added a break room.

Over the last 10 years, he has concentrated his efforts on developing legislation that improves the towing industry. His work has been instrumental in deterring the abandonment of vehicles.
