Downs Energy is a third-generation family-owned business. The firm's founder, Elvin Downs, began work for Standard Oil (not Chevron) in 1940 as a wholesale distributor in Corona, California. He was in the oil business for more than 50 years. In 1976 his son John Downs launched a key lock operation to sell fuel to trucking companies 24 hours a day. John's children, Sharon Downs Messner and Mike Downs, joined the company in the '80s and now operate Downs Companies, which are still headquartered in Corona. Customer service has been a hallmark of the company for all three generations. Company president Mike Downs says, "In the commercial fueling business, you are in the business of building relationships with your customers and you want to be able to take care of their needs. This is the core value of our company".
