40 Under 40: Jose Espinoza, President, Heritage Auto

Jose Espinoza

The day Jose Espinoza walked away from his corporate banking job to follow his calling and open his own automotive shop was the scariest moment of his life—and also the most exciting.

Inspired by his entrepreneurial parents, Espinoza opened Heritage Auto to provide honest and affordable collision repair, general mechanic services and classic auto restorations to the Las Vegas Valley. He is now working to evolve the brand to include subsidiary businesses such as custom engine builds, towing, tint and wraps. With 14 personal vehicles and a persistent love for classic cars, Espinoza has turned his dream into a reality.

Espinoza believes in paying it forward and giving back to the community. He and his family are regular contributors to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Make-A-Wish Southern Nevada, Saint Therese Center HIV Outreach and Nevada Youth Network. He also hosts an annual “truck or treat” car show with Sin City Crew Cabs for the community to have a safe and fun space to celebrate Halloween.
