Tim Feldkamp, Owner

Born and raised in Urbana, Illinois, Tim’s story is one of grit, drive, and lifelong passion for the automotive world. From the age of 14, he was elbows-deep in engines and learning the ropes of the industry hands-on. Today, he owns Feldkamp’s Towing, combining years of real-world experience with a sharp business mind and a forward-looking vision for growth. Tim isn’t just running a company. He’s redefining what towing services look like in the modern age.


A Deep-Rooted Passion for Automotive Excellence

Tim's connection to the industry runs decades deep. Over the years, he’s transformed his hands-on experience and love of mechanics into a full-scale operation known for heavy-duty towing, fleet management, and DOT compliance across diverse routes and drivers.


A big-picture thinker with an eye for every last detail, Tim is known for setting — and maintaining — high standards across every aspect of the business. From day-to-day operations to emergency response and customer service, he leads with precision, efficiency, and a sharp sense of responsibility. His ability to think three steps ahead has built Feldkamp’s Towing into a name trusted throughout the region.


Leadership That Goes Beyond the Road

While towing might be the heart of Feldkamp’s, Tim’s vision goes much further. A serial entrepreneur, he’s led multiple business startups, tackled real estate development, and cultivated partnerships that support long-term sustainability and growth.


Whether he’s managing logistics, leading a crew, or exploring the next expansion opportunity, Tim brings a collaborative, strategic leadership style that keeps the future in focus. He’s not just leading a towing business — he’s building a legacy.


Certified, Skilled, and Safety-Driven

With safety and professionalism at the core of Feldkamp’s operations, Tim holds a number of key certifications, including:


  • Wreck Master Training
  • Qualified Rigger – OSHA 1926 Subpart CC
  • Traffic Incident Management (TIM)

Feldkamp’s Towing also holds Hazmat Certification, making them equipped to handle some of the toughest, most high-stakes towing jobs out there — and Tim ensures those standards are met every single time.


Built on Family, Fueled by Community

Off the clock, Tim’s role shifts — but his heart stays just as full. A dedicated family man, he’s walked the road of both single fatherhood and being a primary caregiver for his mother. Now, as a proud and present grandfather, he’s the one at morning school drop-offs, weekend outings, and creating memories that matter.


Outside of family time, Tim is a man of many passions. A lifelong fan of demolition derbies, he’s never far from his automotive roots — whether behind the wheel, in the stands, or under the hood. He also loves to travel, enjoying new adventures and downtime with loved ones whenever he can.


And while business growth keeps him busy, Tim never loses sight of his community. He’s actively involved in outreach efforts, giving back to local causes and organizations that align with his values of support, hard work, and opportunity.


Pushing Forward with Purpose

At the helm of Feldkamp’s Towing, Tim continues to raise the bar — not just for what a towing company can do, but for how a leader can build a business rooted in excellence, accountability, and long-term vision.


Whether he's solving a logistics challenge, navigating fleet expansion, mentoring drivers, or showing up for his family and community — Tim does it with heart.


With his deep-rooted passion, entrepreneurial spirit, and a relentless commitment to doing things the right way, Tim is more than just the President of Feldkamp’s Towing. He’s the driving force behind its past, present, and future. When you need service you can count on, turn to Tim and his team at Feldkamp’s Towing.
