Jim O’Rourke WINS AAA Gold

Soggda would like to extend our congratulations to board member Jim O’ Rourke, owner of All-Pro Towing in Centerville, for receiving the prestigious AAA/CAA Gold award for the Midwest/Central Region of the United States. The award recognizes an elite group of service professionals who constantly provide outstanding service to AAA/CAA members. Jim and his staff at All-Pro Towing were nominated by AAA Miami Valley for the 2007 Service Provider Award.

There were 112 nominees submitted by AAA/CAA, with a panel of nine judges, comprised of club professionals, who chose Four Gold, Four Silver and Four Bronze level winners for the Western, Northeast, Southeast and Midwest/Central Regions. O’Rourke received a recognition plaque and a prize package including an all expense paid trip to Florida for Jim and his wife Mary and recognition at the AAA Automotive Conference. Look for feature articles on All-Pro Towing in the July issues of American Towman and Tow Times.

In 1971 Jim was a student at UD by day and a tow truck driver at night. After completing his education and gaining valuable experience in the automotive and towing service industry, he opened his first service station and repair facility in Centerville in 1978, which was affiliated with the Shell Oil Company. In 1979 Jim became an AAA service provider.

Jim took over operations of Breitenstrater Shell in 1985, including gasoline sales, auto care, and emergency road service and towing. He managed the business at this location for 20 years.

All-Pro Towing Inc. opened in Centerville in 2005. The company’s primary operations are emergency road service and towing. All-Pro operates 4 flatbed vehicles, two medium duty wrecker, two light duty wreckers and a Battery Service Vehicle. Jim’s company delivers service to AAA Miami Valley members, RAP customers, commercial customers and local law enforcement as an AAA Preferred Service Provider.

All-Pro defeated many larger facilities to win this coveted award. O’Rourke and company is the first in the AAA Miami Valley history to win the Gold Award. This is the 6th year for the AAA/CAA Service Provider of Excellence Award Program.

Jim and Mary credit much of the success of this business to his staff that strives for excellence in every thing they do in the industry.

Congratulations Jim and All-Pro Towing, we are proud to have you as a member and board member of Southwestern Ohio Garage & Gasoline Dealers Association.
