OUR
Guiding Principle
“To whom much has been given, much is required”
Luke 12:48
This timeless wisdom has guided our founder Bill Stowell Sr. throughout his career, and today it shapes the core values of our company. We believe that with our success comes a profound responsibility: to our customers, our employees, and our community. As our company grows, so too must our commitment to excellence, integrity, and service to others. This principle reminds us daily that our capabilities and resources are not just business assets, but opportunities to make a meaningful difference in the lives we touch.
OUR
Story
This approach built a solid foundation for creating an impactful and flourishing business. In 2003, the group acquired a five bay full-service repair shop adjacent to the quick lube shop in Somersworth. This expanded the horizons and possibilities for the company.
The shops grew in volume while maintaining the principles and vision on which the company was built. In 2017, Bill sold an interest in the company to his son, Bill, Jr.
With a fresh outlook, fresh energy, and new ideas, Bill, Jr. was able to continue the trajectory of the business, providing a positive impact on the community and consistently raising the bar in terms of customer volume and satisfaction.
Under Bill Jr’s leadership, the company has developed a proven track record of building skilled teams, establishing a good working environment, using cutting edge technology, and satisfying a growing customer base.
The company now owns and operates four individual shops, employing 35+ people, with projected annual revenue of $7 million. The future of the company includes a focus on the acquisition of successful small businesses that can grow through a fresh approach and by applying the skillsets of the next generation of entrepreneurs.
