History
Archer’s Towing has always been a family business. In the early 1920’s, brothers Bill, Ed, and Lee Archer began auto repair out of their garage. Later they opened a gas station and repair shop at the corner of Lankershiem and Camarillo. From the beginning Archer’s was the place to go for friendly family service and the business thrived, over the years they added a body shop, towing business and auto parts store. They outgrew their location and ended up at 5444 Vineland Ave which is still used by Archer’s today. In the 50’s Archer’s became the Official Police Garage for North Hollywood Division of LAPD. Archer’s still holds that contract today.
In 1980, E.C. Brittsan bought the business from Lee Archer. He hired his brother-in-law, Jim Milhoan, to run the business. E.C. retained the Archer name and reputation for excellence. Jim soon became co-owner of the company, and started a second generation of family service. Since 1990 Jim’s son Russ Milhoan has run the day to day operation. Russ’ wife children and extended family have continued to make Archer’s a family business.
Under Russ’s management Archer’s added a new office facility which they moved into in Dec of 2005. The new facility provides plenty of office space and lots of indoor and outdoor vehicle storage. Improvements and updates in services and equipment are continually made and business is still done in a neighborly way that would make the Archer brothers proud.
We are Archer’s today, as always, a family business targeting your every towing need with personable and professional care.
