Coming into towing equipment from the Aerospace industry, where he was a certified welder and sheet metal mechanic, Oscar started at Competition Wheellift in May of 1992 as a Mechanic’s Helper. Within only six months he was a lead technician, and was assigned a helper to assist in the production of all types of towing equipment. However, Oscar’s specialty was Eagle Claw tow trucks. After 5 years as a tech, Oscar joined the parts department where he was soon promoted to Parts Department Manager. After another 5 years, he then rose to Operations Manager, and holds that position today here at Golden West, after Competition Wheellift closed. So, to say that Oscar knows the jobs of his techs from the ground up is a conservative statement. He is invested in making sure the operations of Golden West Towing Equipment run smooth and sound and is willing to help achieve the utmost customer service in any way he can. He is experienced, quality assured and innovative.Troy Tutunijan
