Mechanics Plus Towing and Transport Inc. became a corporation in 2004, but it's beginning is WAY before that! Mark started wrenching when he was in high school. He started out in a home garage, the customer base was relatives, friends and ex-girlfriends which kept life interesting I'm sure.but, not much $$ in that! He had a zest for four wheelin', two wheelin' or any other wheelin' for that matter. the madness continues! He owned a 1966 Ford 4X4 stepside which is still in his possession today. This poor workhorse was disassembled in 1995 and is now waiting some free time to begin yet another restoration. The '66 is affectionately known as Pure Stock 1 or PS 1 for short. Along came PS 2, a 1976 Ford, which he built in 1991 (?) This was his first wrecker/plow truck.yes; it's still on the road. She's a little needy these days, and not the first choice of our plow drivers, but the girl still got it. Once this truck was built, and 2 plow
contracts were purchased, off he went.freezing and popping U joints, only to replace them in the dead of the night in lots and lots of snow. remember the blizzard of '95?
Thanks to friends too numerous to mention and family.there was always someone to call to run parts for repairs or help plow. Today, the plowing contracts have grown and if we aren't plowing, we are fixing all the plows that fell victim to the storm. Isn't that what everyone does when it snows?
In 1991 Mark decided that he wanted to make a go of Mechanics Plus full time. So he quite his job driving for a local concrete plant, found the location at 4280 Chestnut Street and dedicated all his time and energy building up what is today Mechanics Plus Towing and Transport Inc.
Setting his goals in motion, he wanted to tow and repair accident cars as well as haul equipment, sheds, do regular inspections, repairs, steel fabrication and plow.did I leave anything out? Basically, he likes to do it all. This brought the addition of more mechanics, tow truck drivers and office personnel. Today, there are over 19 employees, and yes, one is his wife which was his girlfriend
when the insanity started.she hasn't left him yet! As far as 4 wheel additions.where do I begin? He has over 33 trucks, trailers and contracting equipment which he tries to put to work each and every day. There no good just sitting in the yard.
In August 2001, Mechanics Plus opened a satellite towing office in Quakertown PA to meet the growing demands of the towing industry.
Though times have certainly changed from the early days, the love of wheels remains the same.
Our goals...keep the wheels in motion, but maintain the small business mind set of knowing each employee personally. Keeping a family environment instead of a large organization where everyone simply becomes a number. We try to keep this goal with our customers as well.
The road to success is not always paved; sometimes you gotta go off road. When you get stuck, We'll winch you out!
Enjoy the ride!
