thought i would put an intro up>>> First, I have worked on a few cars, mostly Ford, over the past 18 or so yrs, most have been something thrown together for racing of some type (drag, street, or wishful thinking). I live in Texarkana, Arkansas, 35 yrs old, repo cars for a living, have a moderate shop at my house, a wife of 17 yrs, and two boys 6 & 14........ All along have had an addiction to just about any type of car with the right look or sound.... Don't know if this is a proper intro or not, but will damn sure get it started. I've been watching this site for a little while, and have found quite a bit of useful info, along w/some colorful amusement........
What's up man. I'm 36 & I've been out of the biz for a few years now. I used to run an agency here in Tampa, Florida. I now work for the finance company that was my biggest client. Started out as the manager of the recovery department & now I'm exec vice pres & on the board of directors. You'd be quite surprised how valuable your recovery skills are on this side of the fence (if you ever get sick of living in a tow truck like I did). Needless to say, I don't miss the business. Anyway, PM me your info. My staff assigns work all over the country, and if something pops up in your back yard I'll have them shoot it your way. I don't know how long you've been in the game, but if you want to talk skip-tracing & whatever I've got some excellent resources there that I could share with you as well. And I agree with 4t6, lets see the 27. Later.
Welcome! Yeah, repo work does sound like a wild business to be in. I'm sure it's not dull much of the time. Ever been shot at doing it? I imagine some people get pretty nuts when the see you! Dave
been repo'n for a living for the past two years, worked as a union rep in a tire plant for 15 yrs, so I was a little used to dealing w/people being pissed off at me..... haven't been shot at doing this as of yet, but have been in some very interesting situations will post some pic's of the 27 next wk or so, when I get back home and have a little time....... repoguy---will pm u some contact info
