From Regional to Nationwide: Our Journey
American Recovery Service and Skipbusters, wholly owned subsidiaries of Patrick K. Willis Company, Inc., have been a driving force in the repossession industry. Our extensive experience with our regional repossession operation, headquartered in Sacramento since 1979, has provided us with a deep understanding of the daily challenges faced by repossession companies.

Additionally, he has a legacy of leadership, having previously dedicated nearly a decade as a board member for both associations.
