60 Years Strong: Your Roadside Heroes, Always There
Since Vernell Sellars opened his auto repair shop in 1960, Vernell's has grown into a trusted roadside partner for generations. Driven by the vision of "getting drivers back on the road quickly and safely," we've expanded to include 24/7 towing, emergency roadside assistance, and truck and trailer repair.
Our goal is to provide customers with around-the-clock reliable, high-quality service. We take pride in our work, and in our southern Illinois roots, and want our customers, employees, and community partners to also be proud to be associated with Vernell’s Interstate Service.
With more than 60 years in business, there isn’t much that we haven’t seen or done. Whether you’re a solo driver or have a large fleet, Vernell’s has the knowledge, experience, and equipment to tackle any challenge. We work with individuals, businesses, corporate accounts, government agencies, and fleet services to provide the best service possible, no matter the time of day.
Vernell’s Interstate Service -- we're here for you.
Vernell’s Interstate Service has been locally owned and operated for more than 60 years. We strive each day to continue founder Vernell Sellar’s vision of service to the community and are proud to do our part in teaching the next generation of mechanics and tow truck operators.
