It all started when my grandfather opened an Esso gas station on East Washington in Suffolk in the late 50's early 60's. He then found a new location in Chesapeake at the corner of Western Branch Blvd and Taylor Rd. The name of that store was West End Shell.


My father, Charles W. Blanchard, and Grandfather worked side by side for many years. My Grandfather retreated and my father took the family business over. My father was very successful and at one time he had thirteen locations. I went a different route and was hired as a firefighter. After many years and different life changes, I found myself buying my own truck and starting my own business.


With my experience towing I knew I should get more formal training. I have completed several Wreck Master Classes. I also completed Wes Wilburn's School for Light to Medium Duty Towing and the Medium Duty to Heavy Duty towing. All that complimented by Heavy Tactical vehicle rescue, Rope Rescue, Trench Rescue and many other Classes and experiences.
