ABOUT US
50+ Years of Towing and Auto Experience in the Texas Panhandle
Bob Douthit started the business in the mid-1960s selling used vehicles. Towing was added in 1983, followed by the salvage yard and parts operation at our Barnes Street location in 1987.
​
That history matters because we have never looked at a disabled vehicle as nothing more than something to hook up and move. A roadside problem may be simple enough to handle where the vehicle sits. Other situations require towing, recovery, or help beyond the initial move. Having towing, roadside assistance, parts, tires, and vehicle sales under the same company gives customers more than one practical path forward.
​
Today, the second and third generations of the family continue operating Bob Douthit Auto from locations in Pampa and McLean.
Vehicle trouble does not always lead to the same solution. Bob Douthit Auto provides towing, roadside assistance, and additional auto support from our Pampa and McLean locations, with services ranging from highway recovery to parts and tires.

OUR LOCATIONS
Two Towing Locations Serving the Texas Panhandle
Bob Douthit Auto operates physical locations in Pampa and McLean. They share the same company name and decades of experience, but the traffic around each yard creates very different kinds of calls.
PAMPA, TX
Pampa is the full-service side of the operation.
A call here may involve an everyday passenger vehicle, a pickup that will not start, or a work truck that breaks down between jobs. Our Pampa yard supports those situations with towing and roadside assistance along with the salvage yard, used auto and truck parts, tire sales, and used vehicle sales. It is built around more than moving a disabled vehicle. When the problem leads to another vehicle need, there may be another practical option at the same location.

MCLEAN, TX
A breakdown along I-40 is different from being stranded a few blocks from home. Travelers, RV drivers, work trucks, semis, and commercial traffic move through the McLean area every day. When one of those vehicles cannot keep moving, getting it off the highway and determining the right recovery approach becomes the priority. Our McLean yard is positioned around the kind of towing and recovery needs that come with interstate travel through the eastern Texas Panhandle.
