About Us

It’s been said that if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life

For Jon Kupchin, finding what he loved in life came at the tender age of seventeen. Hired to drive the tow truck to bring in wrecked cars in what was then the Santa Fe Body Shop, Kupchin was the only driver for over a year. When he realized how much he loved towing vehicles, he decided to build his future on it.

The Santa Fe Body Shop was established in 1963 by Jon’s parents. When he founded Santa Fe Tow Service Jon based it on the same principles taught by his parents: work hard, be knowledgeable, take care of the customer, and take care of your employees.

Jon put those principles to work and what began as a young man’s dream with one truck and one driver, has grown into a successful business with over eighty trucks in operation, seventy-five employees, and a 9000 square foot headquarters building with a five-acre lot based in Lenexa, Kansas. On top of the Lenexa, Kansas headquarters, there are four more locations in four different states in the Midwest.

These locations include: Kansas City, Kansas plus Joplin, Missouri and Blue Springs, Missouri as well as property in Quapaw, Oklahoma for another facility. The body shop is still going strong today and is now owned by Jon’s brother.
