Eddie Sims has been the reliable face of towing for three years with Doug Perry Towing, but he has been building his towing career for 54 years of rich experience. He knows what works, what doesn’t, how to take care of customers and loves a good challenge.
Towing is an industry where the technicians need to think on their feet and adapt quickly when the call comes. Sims might be on the shoulder of a busy freeway, on the side of the road or in a parking lot, but approaches each situation with respect for the customer whose day had clearly taken a wrong turn.
“The most rewarding part is helping people when they’re stressed and hearing how grateful they are afterward,” Sims says. “I try to set a good example by doing the job right and treating people with respect, teaching the new guys as they join the team.”
Sims’ expertise was built over time. He grew up working on cars before towing at 16 years old with log chains, then a trailer, then finally a real tow truck. One step at a time, it became his life’s work.
“We work hard, help people and look out for each other,” Sims says. “That’s what makes this place so special.”
