About McDevitt's Towing & Repair

McDevitt’s has a long history and tradition of serving SE WI and Northern IL. Marcie, Jim’s wife, continues the tradition today running the family business. 

Jim was a man of strong business sense and admirable work ethic who never officially retired, visiting his office within the week of his death. Throughout his youth, he worked side by side with his father in the family businesses, first operating a milk route and then trucking supplies for the construction of I-94. Prior to turning 21 years old, Jim's parents co-signed to help him acquire his first business, a Rocket gas station.

Over the next forty years, he operated numerous service stations in Kenosha and Milwaukee (mostly Amoco). He was the owner of McDevitt's Towing and Repair Center for forty plus years. In 1988, he branched out with a partner to open Car-X automotive centers in the Fox Valley and operated those until December 2014.

Jim supported his community through several organizations. For many years, Amoco Dealers sponsored a golf outing to support the MACC Fund and he was a longtime member of the committee for this event. He was a member of the Kenosha Noon Lions Club (as treasurer), the Elks Club, Moose Lodge #286 and the Danish Brotherhood.

The McDevitt’s family and staff look forward to another decade of serving the community.
