Our history
Remorquage Gagné & Frères was founded in 1978 by Mr. Philippe Gagné and his brother, Mr. Gaétan Gagné. Located on boulevard Sainte-Marie in Valleyfield, they acquired their first flatbed trailer to complement the services offered by their existing service station. A second trailer was quickly needed to serve their growing clientele.
In 1983, Mr. Richard Verreault, the current owner, barely 13 years old at the time, began working for Remorquage Gagné & Frères as a gas station attendant. Despite his young age, he was passionate about towing. At 16, as soon as he obtained his driver's license, Richard began performing towing and roadside assistance.
A passion that became a calling
Hard-working, dedicated and determined, Richard Verreault quickly made his mark. He rapidly earned the respect and trust of those around him and his employers. Working tirelessly day and night, he acquired tremendous experience and deep expertise in field towing work.
Finally in 2001 — always knowing that towing was his passion, much more than a simple job but a way of life — Richard Verreault acquired the company. Mr. Gagné agreed to pass the torch, and Remorquages Gagné & Frères 2001 was born.
Continuous growth
Since that day, the company has consistently stood out from the competition and continues to grow. In 2001, the company had two tow trucks and two employees. Since then, Mr. Richard Verreault has continuously improved the quality and diversity of his services by purchasing various types of vehicles to meet the needs of an ever-growing clientele.
Today, Remorquages Gagné & Frères 2001 has a fleet of over a dozen diverse vehicles and more than fifteen employees. Mr. Richard Verreault wishes to express his deep gratitude and pride in his team!
