Meet The founder

Tony, the founder of Tony’s Roadside Services, has a remarkable story of resilience and determination that has shaped his path to entrepreneurship. Hailing from El Salvador, Tony’s journey to the United States was marked by challenges from a young age. Arriving in the U.S. undocumented at just 11 years old to reunite with his mother for the first time, Tony faced significant obstacles as he navigated a new country and culture.

Struggling with behavior issues and language barriers, Tony found himself in trouble at school, eventually leading to a period of time spent in a Juvenile Detention Center from ages 13 to 16. Following his time in detention, Tony entered a step-down program called UMFS (United Methodist Family Services) where he resided until he turned 17. Transitioning into foster care, Tony continued to face uncertainty and instability as he moved through the system until he reached the age of 21.

After aging out of foster care due to budget cuts, Tony finally found stability living with his mother. It was during this time that he began working at a tire shop, where he honed his skills and gained valuable experience in the industry. Despite his dedication and hard work, Tony felt undervalued and underpaid in his position, prompting him to pursue his dream of starting his own business.

In late 2021, Tony took a significant step forward by establishing his LLC and committing himself wholeheartedly to building Tony’s Roadside Services. Driven by integrity and compassion, Tony approaches every job with a deep sense of purpose – to help his customers in their time of need. His unwavering dedication to providing exceptional service is rooted in his personal journey and the challenges he has overcome along the way.

Today, Tony’s Roadside Services stands as a testament to perseverance and passion, embodying the spirit of its founder who turned adversity into opportunity and hardship into triumph.

Looking ahead, Tony envisions expanding his business beyond its current scope, reaching more customers in need of tires and roadside assistance. He plans to enhance the services offered by his company, incorporating innovative solutions to better serve the community. Additionally, Tony aims to establish partnerships with other businesses and organizations to further extend the reach and impact of Tony’s Roadside Services.

Inspired by his own journey of resilience and growth, Tony is committed to fostering a culture of excellence within his company. He seeks to empower his team members, encouraging them to share in his vision and values. By nurturing a supportive work environment built on trust and collaboration, Tony aims to cultivate a team that is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of service and professionalism.

As he continues on this inspiring path, Tony remains driven by the belief that every challenge presents an opportunity for growth and every setback is a stepping stone towards success. With unwavering determination and a heart full of compassion, Tony’s Roadside Services is poised to not only thrive as a business but also leave a lasting impact on all those it serves.
