Rainey's Tow Service is located on the north side just past Farm Road 93. Bert & Ina Rainey bought an old gas station and a wrecker in 1946 and went into business here. The old D-X gas sign is still standing out front but the lettering has been covered with a signboard that used to read "Rainey's". This part of the original Route 66 was bypassed in 1964 when I-44 opened.

The Rainey's added the second floor so they had a place to live. The first floor of the old station was used for a store and cafe. They also added a garage for the wreckers and have been in the wrecker business since 1946.
