Autobell® was founded in Charlotte, NC, in 1969 by the late Charles “Charlie” Howard, and is still privately held and family-operated.
Charlie had the vision to provide a high-quality car wash experience with the focus on the customer.
Do that at a good value, and people would keep coming back. Charlie’s vision has not only survived, but it’s also thrived. Autobell® now has more than 3,000 highly-trained team members and washes nearly five million cars annually.
Charlie also believed in what he called a community conscience. That’s why the entire company is committed to environmental protection and conservation, treating 100% and recycling up to 100% of our wash water through technologically advanced equipment. Autobell® prides itself in offering service to the community and team member growth.
Towing is unlike any other business. There’s no Monday through Friday 9 - 5, no paid holidays, no lunch breaks and no two days are ever the same. You’re out there at 3:00 a.m. in the pouring rain when the rest of the world is sleeping safely at home. When today is done, you’ll get up and do it all over again tomorrow.
At AW Direct, we understand. We’ve got your back.
Since 1979, AW Direct has been a trusted partner to the towing and recovery industry. We know the business. We understand your drive and what makes you tick. Most importantly, we know what it takes to do your job, help your customers and come home safely at the end of a long, hard day.
We’re committed to your success and safety with the products you need to run your business and do your job better, easier and safer.
In August of 2018, AW Direct was acquired by Zip's Truck Equipment to form the new Zip's AW Direct. This acquisition created a single-source supplier capable of providing towing and recovery professionals with everything they need to put a fully equipped tow truck on the road.
