Gene Smith

At the heart of Smith Diesel and Wrecker Service is the story of its founder, Gene Smith, whose vision and dedication transformed a small wrecker service into the thriving business it is today. In 1994, Gene started this company with a single tow truck and a commitment to providing reliable service to the community. Through hard work and an unwavering passion for his craft, the business expanded and, by 1999, had grown into a full-fledged diesel shop and wrecker service.

Gene Smith was more than just a business owner; he was the lifeblood of Smith Diesel and Wrecker Service. Known for his tireless work ethic, he was always on call, answering his phone no matter the hour or situation. His dedication was unmatched, and he continued to work relentlessly until his health no longer allowed him to do so. Gene's commitment to his customers and community was evident in everything he did, setting a standard of excellence that remains the cornerstone of our company today.

Family has always been at the core of Smith Diesel and Wrecker Service, and Gene ensured that the values of hard work and dedication were passed down through the generations. His grandkids grew up in the business, learning to turn wrenches alongside him and mastering the art of driving by moving vehicles around the lot. This family-oriented approach has helped shape the company into more than just a place of business; it’s a legacy built on love, respect, and tradition.

Today, Gene's spirit lives on in every aspect of Smith Diesel and Wrecker Service. His vision, values, and relentless dedication continue to inspire us as we carry forward the work he started. Though Gene is no longer at the helm, his legacy will always be the guiding force behind our commitment to excellence and service.

We are proud to honor Gene Smith and continue the work he loved so much. His story is not just the history of our company; it’s the foundation upon which we build our future.
