The Remarkable Journey of Izmir Akhmedov: From Trucking to Towing

HAGERSTOWN, MD – In a bustling tow yard in Hagerstown, amidst the massive tow trucks and heavy wreckers, Izmir Akhmedov reflects on his inspiring journey to entrepreneurship. Founder of “Fix & Go LLC“, a rising force in the towing industry, Akhmedov’s story is a testament to resilience, determination, and unwavering faith.

In 2014, the birth of his second son led Akhmedov away from a promising career in medicine and into the unpredictable world of business. To ensure his family’s financial well-being, Akhmedov founded a trucking company in Lancaster, PA. Despite long hours, sleepless nights, and juggling responsibilities of a new parent, Akhmedov pressed on.

His encounter with high truck maintenance bills sowed the seeds for “Fix & Go LLC”. Spotting a niche in truck repair and road assistance, Akhmedov, alongside his mechanic father, established their first service shop in Manheim, PA in 2015. By 2017, “Fix & Go LLC” was born.

The company quickly expanded, growing from a single service truck to a fleet of 10, including multiple heavy wreckers and a 75-ton articulating boom rotator. The growth didn’t stop there; with subsequent branches sprouting in Frederick, MD, Martinsburg, WV, and an upcoming location in Shippensburg, PA.

Akhmedov attributes his success to a simple mantra: never give up. Even when faced with skepticism from family and friends, he persevered. “I always knew that I had to work harder and move forward. Didn’t bother to bring in the negativity, always stayed focused and positive,” Akhmedov shared.

The company’s rapid success wasn’t universally celebrated. “Before I was nobody and now I am a threat to [competitors]. But now that I am influential in the area, they all want to be friends,” he added.

“Fix & Go LLC” sets itself apart with a dedication to customer service. Prioritizing clients like FedEx contractors and Amazon equipment, the company ensures quick turnaround times, understanding the value of every hour for its clientele.
