Behind the Scenes
Lyndah Pizarro
"My father, Luis, got me into the business. I started out with office work as a summer job in high school.
"I was born and raised in Southern California. I'm half Mexican, half Puerto Rican and 100% Latina.
"I am easy going and open-minded. I live life by my own standards. I love my family. I am always on the go. And like most girls, I live to shop. I love the simple (but nice) things in life: stars, mountains...and shoes!"
Q: What are the circumstances in which you're hired to reposes a car?
A: We are hired when people become delinquent on their car payments.
Q: What are three things you always bring to a repo?
A: I always bring my cell phone and lip gloss; a repo order and some form of defense against anyone who can (and most likely will) become violent; and the repo truck. You can't do a repo without a truck.
Q: Describe the angriest person whose car you had to repossess.
A: They are all angry. The women are the worst, especially ones who go for my hair. That hurts! But when you are in the moment, you don't feel it.
Q: What's the best thing about your job?
A: Aside from a paycheck, working with Daddy.
