Episode 2 – From One Truck to California’s Largest Tow Company

In this episode, I sit down with my dad, the founder of Pepe’s Towing Service, to talk about how it all started.

What began by recycling junk cars for $100, eventually grew into one of the largest towing and recovery companies in California. In this conversation, we go back to the early days of working long hours, taking risks, and building a reputation in an industry where trust and reliability mean everything.

My dad shares the real story behind the growth of Pepe’s: the struggles, the big breaks, the crazy recoveries, and the decisions that helped turn one truck into a fleet of over 100.
