Tesoro headquarter tours?

HistoryStudent · May 3, 2018

Does Tesoro do tours of its Prescott facility? Have any of you been there for a visit? I'm going to be in Phoenix next month and I might drive up for a visit if they allow it.

I would call them first, as Vince does not usually do tours. The factory is smaller than most people imagine. :occasion14:

Thanks. I watched the video so I'll probably skip the tour

Sadly not anymore they are not. Whites and Garrett was/are not that much more advanced from what I have seen of there assembly process. Nothing wrong with a hand built product ..IMO

XP has it down to a science though!

Sure, in the Garrett video I saw, the one lady didn't seem to care much about winding our coils for us, but we salute her.

Yes, The building was sold not long after. I remember looking up the address and seeing pictures of the building empty and for sale. (Don't hold me to that though it has been a couple years)
