At Fenn's, towing is about more than moving vehicles from one place to another. It's about serving the communities we call home, building lasting relationships, and being there for people during some of their most unexpected moments.
Fenn’s Towing began in 1989 when Dennis Fenn Sr. and Karen Fenn started the company here in Eastern Oregon. For the first several years, Dennis Sr. was the sole operator, running a 1979 Mack Superliner equipped with a Holmes 1801 military wrecker body, one of only five ever made.
There’s a story that Holmes had a testing device they used to measure the strength of their wrecker units. When this particular unit was tested, it was strong enough to pull the testing device directly out of the ground. That Mack became an important part of the Fenn’s story and served the company for years before eventually retiring to another towing company in the Midwest.
Dennis Fenn Jr. joined his parents in the business in 1999 and spent years working alongside his father, Dennis Sr. In 2020, Dennis Jr. and I purchased Fenn’s Towing and began carrying the family business into its next chapter. Karen has since retired, and Dennis Sr. is partially retired, although around here that apparently means he only works five days a week now.
Today, Fenn’s has grown to a team of eight and a fleet of 10 trucks, supported by heavy equipment, response vehicles and trailers, and air recovery equipment. We also operate a repair shop that serves the people and businesses of our local community.
A lot has changed since that first Mack went to work in 1989, but what matters most hasn’t. We’re still a family run business, we’re still proud to call Eastern Oregon home, and we’re grateful to continue serving the communities that have supported Fenn’s throughout the years.

Fenn’s Towing
What began as a small family business has grown into a trusted name across Eastern Oregon, but the values that started it all remain the same. For generations, Fenn’s has been built on hard work, dedication, and a commitment to serving the people and communities that have supported us along the way. These photos offer a glimpse into the family, teamwork, and pride that continue to drive Fenn’s forward every day.
Fenn’s is built around more than trucks, equipment, and the work we do every day. At the heart of the company is a family that lives here, works here, and is proud to call Eastern Oregon home. Those family values shape the way we run our business, treat our team, and care for the people and communities we serve.
As Fenn’s continues to grow, we’re looking for ways to give back, strengthen the trades, and create new opportunities for the communities we’re proud to call home.
Supporting future opportunities for local trade school scholarships and helping our young people explore careers in skilled trades.
Creating stronger connections through local events and involvement with the farming, trucking, and blue collar communities.
As a second generation family business, we’re committed to encouraging the next generation to learn, work, and build something of their own.
Fenn’s Towing has proudly served Eastern Oregon with dependable towing, recovery, transport, and commercial support. Family owned, locally operated, and ready when you need us.
Whether you need emergency towing, recovery, transport, or general information, our team is here to help.
