Eastern Wrecker Sales Inc Celebrates Fifty-Five Years in Business – Since 1969

Same Owners, Same Vision

Clayton, NC. Eastern Wrecker Sales Inc was founded in 1969 by Billy Kornegay and Worden Price. 55 years later*, the business is still owned and operated by the same two gentlemen — an unusual history in today’s world of quick profits and corporate buyouts.

Billy and Worden began selling wreckers in 1969 at the Clayton, NC, offices of Salvage Disposal Co. They incorporated the business in 1979 when Billy and Worden built and moved to a new facility of their own. The business has been in continuous operation ever since — same owners, same location, with the same goal of providing the best towing, recovery, and transport equipment available with professional, courteous service. 

Note – This article has been updated to reflect that Eastern Wrecker Sales Inc has been in business 55 years as of 2024, and counting…
