In 1984 he thought it would be best to have all the
repair work done in one location. He expanded the Saginaw
Road Shell by adding three more bays. Now the Station
had six service bays. The Service Department hours
were also expanded to add a second shift of technicians.
The service department was now open from 7:30 am to
11:30 pm Monday thru Friday. Customers really liked
2nd shift because they could drop off their car after
work and pick it up on their way to work also businesses
could have work done on their vehicles during their
off hours.
Keith decided to expand into the Marine business in
1989. A boatyard in Essexville was acquired on the
Saginaw River next to the Coast Guard Station. The
Marine Division stores boats up to 35 Ton, does fiberglass
work, wood work, air conditioning and refrigeration,
electrical and mechanical repair.
In 1998 Keith closed the Shell Service stations and
moved the Automotive Division to their present location
on Patrick Road. They now have eight bays and are still
open 2nd shift. Keith’s daughter and son-in-law
are helping in managing the Automotive Division and
still offers the same great service as before.
