Operacion Repo Interview

I’m a big fan of this TV show and I recently had the opportunity to email the producer and creator, Lou Pizarro, a few questions. As you can see, he’s a real good sport. Not to mention, a very protective brother. I disagree with him about Lauren Sanchez and was disappointed that he didn’t green-light drug-testing for NFL head coaches, but I appreciate the time he took out to answer my questions. Someone probably got to keep their car for an extra fifteen minutes. Here goes:
When you initially emailed me and asked me to contact you with any questions, I have to admit, I was a little worried. Since I had written some less than flattering things about Sonia on my page, I was thinking that I would call you guys up, Vanessa would trace the call and Sonia and Matt would arrive at my house, tow my Prelude and bitch-slap me in front of the neighbors. Was that the original the plan?
First and foremost to let you know the comments about my sister did not bother her one bit, for she just shrugs it off and laughs. And as far as Sonia and Matt showing up at your doorstep, it would be to say thanks for at least taking the time to watch the show, whether your opinions are good or bad..hehehe..so relax and don’t worry.
How’s your head? I saw you take that beer bottle “to the dome.”
My head is fine, I have had worse.
When you went to the hospital to get the stitches (I assume down the block on Reseda and Roscoe) did any doctors recognize you and put you in front of other people in the emergency room?
Actually I was treated like the all the normal people, no more important than the next sick individual. Some people did recognize me and that is flattering and appreciated enough.
You guys have balls. Ever had guns or knives pulled on you? What about karate? Anybody try and drop some martial arts while their car was being towed?
Yes, the situation gets handled accordingly.
How long have you been in this type of business?
Over 8 years.
Did you come up with the idea for the show? If not, who did? And was it directly inspired by the “Repo Man” TV show? I thought there was a Repo Man TV show a couple years ago.
Actually the idea was mine and I have had it on the back burner forever, I am aware that there was a repo movie and shows, but the inspiration for [Operacion Repo]
was my own.
I did some MySpace research and noticed you’re from the Bronx. Anytime I bump into any (Last of the Mo’) Ricans out here in LA I’m surprised. I’m from Jersey and y’all are thick back east. But, just like a lot of caucasians, Puerto Ricans seem to often be transplants to Southern California. Why did you move out to L.A.?
Not really recently, I moved out here because my parents moved out here. Been here ever since.
I turned on a couple of friends to the show. Some of them, however, think the show is “ghetto.” They contend that the show emphasizes the worst aspects of the personalities of the people whose cars are being repossessed. They think the show exploits people who humiliate themselves on camera. I disagree, though. I think the show is more like Cops than Jerry Springer. How do you address the haters?
Well, our intention is not to focus on [the] humiliation of others. That is not our objective. But unfortunately opinions are like assholes everybody has one and everybody is entitled to their opinions, so, in conclusion, whether some people say it looks ghetto and some do not, they’re entitled to their feelings on the show.
As you well know, we have no control over that. And we will have [an English] version as well. As far as repoeing is concerned, everyone–hispanic, asian, white, black, anyone can get into this situation where their vehicle gets repoed not only because they ignored their note but it may well be because of another priority emergency, lack of insurance coverage, loss of job. It can be an array of things, not just because they forgot to pay their note.
People, it seems, will do whatever it takes to be televised these days. And I believe “Operacion Repo” succeeds partly due to this phenomenon. Do people ever refuse to sign waivers allowing you to air their episode?
Sometimes, but for the most part they do not mind at all.
Since this a Spanish language show–is there an effort made to repossess cars from Latinos only? I know some haters who think the show “embarrasses” Mexicans. But I say that Mexicans aren’t the only ones who don’t pay their bills. And that since the show takes place in the Valley–what do you expect? Is there any effort made to “diversify” the races of the people on the show? Any selection process as to whose vehicle you’re towing?
Well, I think I answered this question in combination with #8.
I’m a Chevy guy. Why the Ford??? Did you get the best deal from them?
Well, to be honest with you, I am a Chevy man, always have been, but a deal came up and Ford gave it to me [and] I decided on the truck I have now. Had Chevy given me the deal, I would in fact prefer Chevy, being I continue to own my old Chevy Silverado ’02.
When you’re cruising around in the Ford, do you see people who may be late on their payments smashing through traffic trying lose you guys…even though you’re not after them?
Not really, more like when I drive up and on a rare moment while approaching a repo, we might come across someone running to their car and taking off, this has happened. It is funny but we cannot win them all.
Sonia’s eyebrows look very similar to the eyebrows on the Mr. Bungle clown. Where did she get the idea for them? Any inspiration from John Leguizamo perhaps?
Well, my sister is a versatile individual as far as her eyebrows are concerned. Her eye brows are her idea. She changes them frequently, just like she changes her hair. She can care less what people think of her. And those who even come close to trying something stupid, she handles them personally, male or female. She is that way.
Sonia’s MySpace scares me a little bit. Have you guys talked to her about it?
Haahahaha. Actually, it scares me, too. But my sister is my sister and she will do as she pleases. A lot of people missinterpret her just because she is who she is. Yes, she is into dark things, but she is also very smart and talented. People who look and try to analyze her myspace would not think past that. But if they knew her in person, she has her other side. She is sweet, helpful. She has brains. She repoes, she is a mechanic [and] a good cook. She has over 10 years of legal background. and she can get right down dirty with the best of them. Her personna…her tattoos, her piercings are just how she expresses herself. But she has for the most part a huge amount of people who respect and love her because of her outspoken individuality and just the fact she is straight to the point, no bullshit whatsoever…unlike some women or men who pretend to be something they’re not and smile at you while sticking the knife in your back…if you know what I mean.
Does she demand to wear that “wedding dress from Hell” when she repossesses cars? Its seems like it might get in the way.
Well, again…my sister likes the color black and dark colors. And as far as her clothing is concerned, my sister is a skirt and dress wearer. She does not like pants. She prefers heels and boots over sandals and tennis shoes. She has always been that way and that is why she has her clothes custom made. She likes what she likes. And the opinions of others about her style of dress matters very little. But you would be surprised how many people like what she wears. She feels comfortable in it and that is what she cares about, of course .
Matt is a great part of the show. He definitely helps me understand what’s going on since I don’t know Spanish. How did he become involved?
Matt came to us from another repo company that misstreated him and he decided to come work for me. We became friends and obviously he ended up being one of my repossessors.
Matt has a hilarious Wrestlemania-vibe. Does he prepare any Smackdown lines before he goes out on a job?
Not really, that is his, what we call funny side of Matt.
When that guy pushed Matt off his yacht, that looked really…convenient. He barely looked like he tapped Matt! Did Matt fall off the yacht to add some extra drama?
Sometimes things happen that we don’t expect so therefore like anything else it gets handled accordingly.
Did Matt ever file assault charges after being pushed in the water and losing his sunglassess? I thought he went a little “overboard” by threatening a lawsuit. He could’ve crushed that guy.That guy will never go near him again.
Nah. What is passed is passed and that is how he and I see it…no need for more drama.
Did you guys consider repossessing that yacht “pirate”-style. Like, on the high seas? That would’ve been great if you guys had chased him out in the middle of the ocean.
Not really.
There are some haters out there who think the show is dramatized. As in, fake. A lot of people are seen laughing, too. As if they’re not really struggling to get their car back. Are any scenes re-shot for T.V.?
Well there are haters and lovers of the show. This is with any show on TV really, no matter what it is, Jerry Springer, Jose Luis Sin Censura. They all all ask the same questions as well. My answer is pay attention to the notes at the beginning of the show. If you don’t like it don’t watch it. Who made everyone a Siskel and Ebert to determine what is staged, real or otherwise? Let us just say that in everyday television including the news there will always be someone out there to criticize what others are doing, because we ourselves sometimes do the same. Might not be with TV, but in everyday living. So therefore we continue to march on. If Bill Gates or Donald Trump worried in their early days of their haters [or how they themselves might not amount to anything], then probably they would not be in the position they’re in. And that is how I see it. But damn it I wish I was rolling in their shoes now..hehehehehhe
Vanessa’s MySpace page indicates that she’s in a relationship. But I never believe anything I read on “LieSpace.” Is there any chance that she goes for skinny white doods from Jersey? She apparently has very “Simi Valley” taste in music, but I think I can work with her.
She has been in a relationship for a couple of years now, so yes she is. And as far as the LieSpace is concerned, believe me I know.
There are a lot of “heavy metal” aspects to the people involved in Operacion Repo. Vanessa has skulls and iron crosses all over her MySpace. Froy wears t-shirts with aggressive-looking eagles and has thick leather wristbands. And Sonia’s involvement with the “underworld” seems to be without question. Did you guys ever think of starting a band called “Operacion Metal”?
Heheheh, not really it has not crossed my mind…
Lauren Sanchez or Maria Quiban?
Lauren Sanchez.
I noticed no one ever hands their keys over. They always throw them at you. Do you ever get anyone to respectfully hand their keys over?
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t, but there are good days and bad days. And sometimes on a good day someone will hand over the keys…versus throwing them at us.
Don’t know if y’all are Raiders fans or not, but I was wondering if you were happy to see Art Shell go. He seemed pretty lost last year. He made me think that there should be mandatory arbitrary drug testing for NFL coaches. What do you think?
Yes, we have some raider [fans] here..hehehe
If you have Time Warner cable, Operacion Repo airs on Canal 22 de Telemundo Monday through Friday at 5:30pm and 10:30pm. Thanks, Lou!
some people do nothing but hate on others. if ya don’t like it… step the f___ off! don’t watch it if you don’t like it… keep your stupid comments to your selves.
louie i just love your show i get a big charge out of it. i love your sister shes pretty tuff but you are the real tuff guy i love the way you handle business some times you you get pretty tuff i guess you have to do that some times. you are not a push over that i know. but matt he gets out of line lots of times he must come from the ghetto tuff guy see you later i will keep watching your show i live in ariz.
hey lou i want to work for you man u are very cool i just want to have the opportunity to work for you i love ur show is so fun and sometimes is funny and ive talked to mando before also reply here or on myspace
Hey, Sonia.
Interesting show, and you’ve proven on this site that you can write and express yourself very well. I tell myself that I won’t watch your show anymore, but I just can’t stop.
Please consider some guest appearances up here in the Antelope Valley!
The show is fake. My cousin is one of the camera men on the show. Of course he signed a non-disclosure…but I, a camera man myself, didn’t get the job and didn’t sign the non-disclosure contract…at least not before they filled me in on what my job would entail….which was really strange because, DOH, I’m a camera man. I think I know what my job is.
Anyway. I watch the show, myself, knowing full well it’s fake…kinda funny, I think.
Hey, Jackie…I hate you and that’s why I comment! Truth hurts doesn’t it, bitch…
scott, who are you? why are you saying you hate me, i don’t even know who you are. please stop leaving comments to me.
i was not the one who left comment #151. must be another jackie.
For those on the bank side fuck the bank been ripping people off for years. For two this show is fake you are not allowed any contact with the debtor. NONE you must steal the car. If the debtor makes contact you can not touch them at all. Period. And for three if you are on private property thanks to a lovely little law that REP passed I can shoot you in your face and put a little pocket knife next to you and that’s that. Promise you!!! Try talking tough shit to that because if you were on my property I would shoot you so fast you wouldn’t be able to spell your name. And your repo order would mean shit after that burn that sucker and toss in a throw away case dismissed. You think you really want to take the risk??? And what to do if the property is an acre with fenced yard and full of dogs how’s that repo order look now. And shit I just park that sucker in the garage how’s that order look now. Get a fuckin job that doesn’t come with so much bad Karma and the possibility of buck shot up your ass.
believe that shit
Dear Marcus,
Hm…here is another dumbfuck who crawled out of his rock to talk more shit than he himself is made of. So you are angry with the Finance companies..BOO FUCKING WHOOOO!!!!…you are probably one of those individuals who got into it too deep, instead of buying a honda, you instead bought a mercedes and of course you could not pay it, so they came and took it away….awwww poor baby!!..So you are mad at the repo people and you don’t know JACK SHIT ABOUT THE LAW YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!!….go ahead and talk about the all the buck shots you want…you probably will be more comfortable in a pair of silver bracelets you so much desire….or maybe those lovely companions that you will have around you while you enjoy the big ones right where you deserve it..right down your throat and out of your ASS!!!….If you don’t like what you see, cut the channel as I always recommend, but of course you must be one of those morons with selective viewing or hearing…hahahahaha!!!!!!! Don’t waste your time hating…because I will waste even more time responding just for the HELL OF IT!!!!!…YES!!!! THE HELL OF IT!!!!! If you think your intelligent think again, any smart person would tell you to not talk about incriminating yourself online or other ways…but obviously you missed the boat, or while they where passing out brain matter you missed that one as well..
The key thing here is not to take too much to heart, we are not in any way offending you personally, but on the up and up…you need to relax…I probably am sensing you not having enough sex in your life or are a very stressed individual that you feel the need to act on it and negatize the show, the finance companies, the repo companies and then on…take the finger of blame and look at yourself in the mirror and then point it at yourself…..then you will realize..that it is you and not us that have the problem…
Try to eat this and chew it slowly..I would hate for you to choke on it…
blah blah blah.
Sonja, regardless of whether or not the show is dramatized, it is interesting and entertaining. The actors you have on the show [not the repo crew] I have definiately seen worse. Keep it up and have a good time.
Geesh people open your eyes and read, the shows disclaimer tells you right at the beginning it’s FICTITIOUS ie: not real,staged,fake.
I just have to tell you that your show makes the Repo business look like a big joke,there is way too much staged drama on operacion repo,and thats a fact,because in texas we dont have all that bullshit when we do repos and we are professionals.I’ve seen your show one time and I was imbarrased for you,and the shame of it is that most people actually believe what they see on TV,I just thank GOD that i’m one that knows the difference.Happy trails thanks, Beverly Rockstad
To Beverly Rockstad,
Well in response to your complaint, all I have to say is that you need not to be so critical??? or are you critical on everything you watch…we were in business many years and never really had a problem with repos, now that my brother came up with a show on repos which has been doing very well on both stations..had you been the one with the idea first and banking on it, I am pretty sure you would not be complaining, as pretty much all haters have a habit of doing, relax!!!!!!
and don’t thank “GOD” as you put it, FIRST OFF READ THE FIRST PART AND REALIZE WHAT IT IS IN REALITY!!!!!, AND IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE SOO CRITICAL…CHECK YOUR SPELLING AND CORRECT IT BEFORE WRITING..BY THE WAY THE COMPUTERS THESE DAYS HAVE SPELL CHECK…OR ARE YOU NOT CRITICAL OF YOURSELF….GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR LIFE IN LETTING EVERYONE KNOW ON HOW TELEVISION IS RAN THESE DAYS..I AM PRETTY SURE YOU DON’T APPLY THIS TO YOUR SOAP OPERAS AND SUCH THAT YOU PROBABLY WATCH ON TV…OR DID YOU THINK THAT ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ON GAME SHOWS….REALLY COLLECT AND LEAD HAPPY LIVES..HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watched 15 minutes of this show with my family & wanted to throw up.
No i am not a hater, I just know when something is abominable. believe me I will invest 0 more minutes of my life on this show. In fact the only reason I am here is because now my brother is torturing me with jokes of that disgusting
Mr Potato Head/Michelin Man/Dodoria/ looking woman that terrorizes the locals.

I cannot believe I just sat here and read all the bullshit on this site. The simple fact of the matter is you can pick up your remote and turn the fucking channel. I see the same people on here bitching and complaining about the show, but what you are actually doing is giving the show ratings, which I’m sure they appreciate. This show is for entertainment, as stated by Sonia many many times in the last 2 years of posts that I read. So you are either entertained and keep watching or are not entertained and you watch something else.
If you have to take the time to come on here and bash the show, yes a SHOW, then perhaps you need to step back and take a look at your life and then GET ONE.
There is enough hate and bullshit in the world, do you really need to get your panties in a bunch over a TV Show, for real?
Sonia is the kewlest person ever because she is just like me. She doesn’t beat around the bush, doesn’t sugar coat it, you get it like it is and if you don’t like it, fuck off. I don’t give two shits what people think about me. If you don’t like me, you don’t have to be around me. Nobody is required to like anybody. And to attack a TV personality either makes you 1. Jealous or 2. You question your own self esteem and try to push that hate onto others.
Turn the fucking channel or shut the fuck up. It’s not brain surgery.
To the reader that was speaking about Luis, I think he is adorable as well. Good business sense and a good head on his shoulders.
Matt looks tough but is kind of whimpy on the show. But the naked picture of himself on his MySpace is gross. I don’t find him attractive at all because of his personality and the way he is stuck on himself. But to each his own.
Hope everyone had a safe and happy Labor Day weekend.
I took a few minutes to view your show one night,and found it to be very sad. It only shows that your family is very uneducated. How it came about is no concern of mine,but it does show that at least your out there trying to make a buck.I will however take your advise and change the channel.
Yes, you do that GAETANO, but before you leave, I take it that you think that everyone on television is very ill educated as you think your above the rest, well just to let you know that I did have an education you IDIOT!!!! and college, I probably have more knowledge than you have in your whole entire lifespan and that depends how much you have of it. Please don’t fancy yourself too much because you watched the show and now you think that sitting high on that pedestal you put yourself on, obviously you nimrod, nobody is going to put you on, and who the HELL !!! are you to judge us and say we are as you put it ” TRYING TO MAKE A FAST BUCK” YOU ARE A COMPLETE IDIOT OF ANOTHER KIND, now had you had the same opportunity to make money by being on television as every individual on television, you would have run with it and said YES!!! but that goes to show who is the IDIOT!! here not us but you, because your comment spells out !!!!!!!!JEALOUS!!!!!! in so many words, so GAETANO, yes change the channel because people who spend time to judge others we have no time for, you are in other words a poor excuse of a man. As for me I am at this time LMAOF with your comment…HAVE A NICE DAY.
OH YEAH: PS: THANKS JO FOR YOUR COMMENT
TO ALL THE FANS: I WOULD LIKE TO STOP AND SAY THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT YOU GIVE THE SHOW, AND AS FOR YOU HATERS, PLEASE DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME BASHING US BECAUSE I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE TO DEFEND THE CAUSE, OPERATION REPO IS TO ENTERTAIN WITH A LESSON HERE OR THEIR, ALL OF THE TEAM NOT ONLY HAS HAD AN EDUCATION AND BELIEVE ME WE CAN READ, SPELL AND THEN SOME, DON’T TO MAKE US LOOK LIKE WE KNOW NOTHING BECAUSE ONE DAY YOU VIEWED OUR SHOW AND NOW HAVE FUEL TO KNOCK US DOWN. WE ARE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, WORKING HARD, PAY OUR TAXES AND SURVIVE. SO BEFORE YOU PUT US ON WHATEVER LIST YOU WOULD LIKE, PREPARE TO WRITE TO EVERYONE ON TELEVISION AND HOPE YOUR PAPER IS THAT LONG AND YOUR INK IS EVERLASTING.
GOOD LUCK….WE STILL LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!
i love the show… oh and sonya my fiance and i would love a picture signed by all of u..i watched the last one.. is lou ok?!
I have watched this show and ones like it. I don’t understand why the repo agents have to treat people like garbage when they are taking a car, or what not? I mean really sure some of these people should have paid their notes, and definitely could have, perhaps they made dumb choices. However some people do hit hard times, and lost their jobs! Has anyone looked outside or watched the news? Do we not see this bad economy, with this horrible unemployment rate? There is no need to treat people like that, everyone is human. Sometimes people do egg it on, but some people don’t deserve to be yelled at, or have comments made like “should’ve paid your note.” How do you know what these people are going through? I have never had anything repossesed thank God, but I never pass judgment on anyone that is wrong. When it comes down to feeding your family, keeping your home, or having the basic neccessities to live, and your car God forbid something goes wrong the choice is obvious. We are all close to loosing everything, none of us are “safe” anyone at anytime could loose it all… unless your in the small percentage and elite few of the upper class. Treat people with respect, and treat others as you would want to be treated.
Luis, My husband & I watch your show every week. It is great. We watched the show on 9/21/09 and say where you collapsed after the jerk had a backhow demolish a toyota. I hope that you are ok. I am also a business owner and understand the stress of the job. Our prayers are with you and your family.

What happened to your show?? my kids & I watched it faithfully every week. Then all the sudden the show is no longer on. WE MISS YOU!!!! I can identify with Sonia. We share the same name, Both aquarius, and both puerto rican women. And Froy didn’t know what he had till he lost her, If he thought YOU had a temper -My 6foot tall husband runs for cover when my temper flares LOL, anyway ,just wanted to let you all know that we miss the show.
Yes, you have my vote for Luis
I’m a bitch Aquarius. I’m the first to admit that :) My husband can verify. We are on the verge of divorce at least every other week.
Hi Denise from Buffalo again what happened I missed the last show. I hope all is well. I heard that lou had a heart attack is this true? Did the rehab show happen before or after? God bless.
Lmao regardless of whether or not the show is fake it still depicts some true losers in life : matt, etc… If this show is real then that lame ass fag Matt should be wearing a dress and selling his ass on Santa monica because the loser has been beaten up, and slapped down by countless people that he ran his mouth to and when the gang members pulled the gats on him and scared the fk out of him…that was the best!!! Repo people are the biggest losers on planet and too cowardly to get real jobs!!! Lol That fag matt will meet the wrong person soon while stealing their car and it will be much worse than a simple ass whipping he will get!
Here’s the truth. I had a car lot, and the repo guys were generally useless. Unless the car was at the address the person put on the credit app, the repo guys could never find it.
I’d find them myself, and just call a repo guy to do the tow.
My best story: I photo-copied the guy’s picture from his drivers license and put it on a wanted poster offering a $100 reward for anyone who would give me his new address and posted them all over his old neighborhood. He would come by twice a week and tear them down. I would come by twice a week and put up new ones.
His neighbor’s kid called me for the hundred bucks. I paid him, and when I got to the deadbeat’s house, I ran the tag on the other car in his driveway, and called the other lender who was looking for that car too. Both cars were taken without a whimper.
That’s a much better story than tattooed assholes knocking on the doors asking for keys, and it also happens to be true.
PS: I respect REAL repo gals and guys and skip tracers. If you have good stories of your own email me at [email protected]. I didn’t mean to be disrespectful of real skip tracers and repo professionals, but if you’re one of them, I think you’ll agree that these TV jerks on Operation Repo are either posers or suicidal. Regards, Mike.
PPS: One last thought: Those of us who really understand the dangers and tribulations of real repo situations should start our own thread. I don’t have the technical expertise to do that, but those of you who do should consider it. I’ve had keys in hand, only to have a jackass with a baseball bat come out of the house while I had nothing but a key and a dead battery while I sat in the drivers seat. If the public wants to know what real repo situations are like, you real professionals can tell them. Email me at [email protected]. I’m sure Lou is a real repo guy, but he’s not telling the real story. He’s just getting paid to do a TV show.
Hm. one last thought…your full of shit. I am tired of all those who are nothing but shitfucking talkers who spend their so call useless time bashing the show..while other shows out their are worse..they seem to fixate on OPERATION REPO…Now on the other hand if you were the one Mike who would have been offered to be on television, you would not only be enjoying it..but would be at the mercy of all those who would be talking shit!!!!..As far as my brother is concerned…He is a real Repo guy who knows the business very well!!!!!!!!!!!!!…and as far as what the television is..It none of your business!!…I am pretty sure we have alot more so call real stories then you will ever experience in your short lifespan and while your on the subject of hatred towards those who have nothing to do with you…fixate and comment on the rest of the tv race..that is if you have time to do…and like I recommend those who hate Operation Repo…change the fucking channel..I am pretty sure that is not hard to do for you..since you are seeking your own loserclub on your email…
