Tonquin's roots run deep within the automotive industry. Starting in 2018, Tonquin was created by a father and son team whose background was in collision repair. Co-founder Jeff Sr started and operated one of the largest new car collision facilities in upstate New York, to later be joined by Jeffrey Jr.

After working together at the shop, the father/son team started on a new journey to help the very companies that supplied them over the years. Having experienced the challenges first hand and with their industry knowledge, they brought together a team to develop the first last-mile delivery marketplace designed for the aftermarket automotive industry.

Which has now expanded to become a full suite of logistics and delivery solutions for auto part suppliers large and small.
