Jake Rhodes

Owner & Lead Operator

Jake has spent more than ten years pulling cars out of trouble across the south-central Missouri Ozarks. He put West Plains Towing together after watching neighbors get stranded on hold or hit with surprise charges — folks around here deserved a wrecker service that picks up, rolls quick, and quotes straight. He trains every driver himself and holds them to that bar.

Our Commitment to Howell County

Our homes are here and our trucks are on these roads every day. When ice moves through and cars start sliding into ditches along US-63 and US-160, we are out in the weather working — not dispatching from some office three states away. Being local means we reach you sooner and our drivers already know the grades and low-water crossings around them.

We have winched rigs out of flooded creek fords near the Eleven Point and off the tight, rocky bends heading toward Cabool. Wherever you are stuck in our area, odds are one of our drivers has worked that same stretch before.

What Sets Us Apart

Towing has earned a rough name over the years, and we get why. People hear one price on the phone and see another at drop-off, or they sit two hours for a driver who swore he was minutes away. We built this company to do the opposite:

A straight quote up front. You hear the cost before the hook goes on — no mystery line items or fuel surcharges waiting at the end.

Arrival times we mean. We give you an honest window when you call, and if something shifts we ring you back. You are never left staring down the road guessing.

We handle your vehicle like our own. New SUV going up on the roll-back or an old work truck getting winched out of the mud, we use the right gear and the right technique every time. A vehicle damaged by a sloppy tow is not something we will stand for.
