From Struggling to Success – The Journey Behind TRS Mobile Tire Shop

If you had told me years ago that I’d be running my own business, helping people on the road, and building something from the ground up, I wouldn’t have believed you. My story isn’t just about running a business—it’s about perseverance, grit, and the power of second chances.

I was born in El Salvador and came to the United States at 11, alone and undocumented. It was a lonely and confusing experience. The world around me felt alien—the language, the people, even the way life moved. I felt lost, like I didn’t belong. I was 13 when I ended up in a Juvenile Detention Center, and those three years changed everything for me. It could’ve been the end of my story, but instead, it sparked something deep inside me—a desire to prove that I could overcome anything.

When I got out, , I moved from one temporary place to the next , always feeling like I was just passing through life, waiting for something better. But no matter how hard things got, I held on to the belief that I could create something better for myself. I found that “something” in the tire industry. I started at a local tire shop, and though I was just another employee, something inside me knew I was capable of more. I was working hard and learning everything I could, but deep down, I felt like I was being held back.

That’s when I decided to take the leap. In late 2021, with little more than a dream and a heart full of determination, I started Tony’s Roadside Services (TRS). I didn’t have all the answers. I didn’t have a fancy setup. But I had the drive to make it happen, and I wanted to do for others what I didn’t always have growing up: a sense of security and support when it mattered most.

Every time I fix a tire or show up to help someone stranded, it’s not just about the service. It’s personal. I know what it’s like to feel stuck and helpless. I know the anxiety that comes with being stranded, unsure of when help will arrive. That’s why I show up for my customers the way I wish someone had shown up for me. It’s not just about tires—it’s about offering people a lifeline in their moment of need.

I’m building more than a business. Tony’s Roadside Services (TRS) is about offering second chances, showing people that no matter where they come from, or what they've been through, they deserve to feel safe, supported, and valued. It’s about proving that you can rise above your circumstances and create a future that makes you proud.

As we grow, I want my story to inspire others—especially those who feel like they’ve been counted out. No matter how many times you fall, you can always get back up. And you don’t have to do it alone. When you call Tony’s Roadside Services (TRS), you’re not just another customer—you’re someone I care about, someone I’m here to help.

Tony’s Roadside Services (TRS) is built on the belief that we all deserve a second chance. When life throws you a flat tire, a dead battery, or an emergency on the side of the road, I’ll be there for you. Because I know firsthand what it feels like to need help, and I’m here to make sure you get it, fast.
