ABOUT

About Hanifen Co Inc

Hanifen Towing provides towing and recovery services in Des Moines, Iowa and surrounding cities. Founded in 1923 by Jim E. Hanifen as an automotive repair shop and towing service, the company celebrates its 100-year anniversary in 2023. Originally located downtown, the business relocated in 1959 to a 10-acre property off I-80, where it operates today with 8 buildings, a multi-level dock, and camera security system for equipment storage. The company grew to become Iowa's largest fleet in the 1980s through the 2000s under third-generation owner Julie Hanifen. In 2017, longtime employee and general manager John Kearse and business banker Matt Hurd purchased the business. Hanifen Towing offers 24/7 towing services and specializes in light and medium duty towing, heavy duty towing, rotator services, emergency recovery, and equipment transportation. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, with Saturday and Sunday appointments available.
