Western Pump

What Western Pump does

Western Pump is a privately held, family-owned full-service contractor and equipment distributor specializing in petroleum fueling and transportation infrastructure. Founded in 1948 and headquartered in San Diego, the company operates from three offices (San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix) and is licensed as a contractor in California, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, and Montana, with Hazardous Material Waste Removal designation. Its business spans four revenue streams: turnkey construction services (new builds, remodels, tenant improvements, convenience stores, fuel systems, storage tank replacement), equipment distribution and installation (Gilbarco Veeder-Root dispensers and POS, Gasboy fleet/commercial systems, Xerxes fiberglass underground tanks, Hughes aboveground tanks), 24/7 service and compliance (15,000+ service calls per year, fleet of 50+ trucks covering Southern California and Arizona, fixed-price service agreements, and tiered P1/P2/P3 emergency response), and equipment financing brokered through Patriot Capital. The company serves retail fuel chains, commercial fleet operators, government and military bases, tribal enterprises, oil companies, marinas, auto dealerships, and general contractors, with named customers including Costco, Loves Travel Stops, QuikTrip, Pilot Flying J, Marathon, Tesla, Marine Corps Camp Pendleton, DLA, SDG&E, and the Twenty-Nine Palms, Sycuan, and Viejas tribal nations. Western Pump augments its field operations with JONAS Enterprise System for service order management, JetTrac for tablet-based field inspections, Procore for construction cost tracking, and GPS-based dispatch routing; it claims to be the only fully integrated gas station construction, service, maintenance, compliance, and equipment distribution company in the Southwestern United States. In August 2021 the company acquired Arizona-based Doehrman Company (including DCI Direct Lift) to extend its automotive equipment footprint, and EV charging (Level 2 and DC Fast Charging) has been added to the service portfolio alongside conventional fueling infrastructure.

Closest direct competitor to Western Pump, operating a similar turnkey model for retail fuel, commercial fleet, and government customers.
