Keeping Ohio’s Trucks on the Road Since 1978
We've grown from a small shop in Covington into a trusted network of service centers across Southwest Ohio—including Covington, Greenville, Dayton, Springfield, and Columbus. We provide expert truck and trailer repair, quality parts, and honest service backed by decades of experience. Wherever you are, we’re here to keep you moving.
OUR STORY
It all began in 1978, when Paul Todd took a leap of faith and purchased a small gas station in Covington, Ohio, to launch his truck repair business. Those early years came with their fair share of challenges and memorable stories. In fact, the original shop’s overhead doors were so small that drivers had to remove the stacks from their trucks just to get through them!
Fueled by a strong work ethic and a commitment to serving customers, the business quickly grew. In 1987, The Service Company moved across town into a larger facility. Paul recalls thinking then, "I couldn't imagine ever needing anything bigger than that building." But as demand continued to grow, the facility was expanded in 1996 and again in 2006. By 2015, the Covington team moved into a new shop built to serve our growing customer base better.
In 2005, we opened a second location in Greenville, Ohio, to better support customers in Darke County. Over the years, that location has evolved into a full-service facility with 12 service bays and a large retail parts showroom, providing everything from truck parts to tools and accessories.
Our Dayton, Ohio location came online in 2016, extending our reach even further. Thanks to dedicated team members and loyal customers, Dayton has grown into a busy and trusted hub, offering bumper-to-bumper truck and trailer repair and comprehensive parts sales.
In spring 2024, we opened another location in Springfield, Ohio. This facility strengthens our service coverage in Clark County and continues our legacy of high-quality repair, parts, and customer service, with a special emphasis on suspension and steering systems.
In 2025, we continued our expansion by opening a brand-new location in Columbus, Ohio. Strategically positioned to serve the growing demand in Central Ohio, our Columbus facility offers the same trusted, full-service truck and trailer repair, along with a fully stocked parts department. With advanced diagnostic capabilities and a team committed to customer care, this new location helps us better support fleets and owner-operators throughout the Columbus region, bringing our commitment to quality and reliability to even more drivers across the state.
Today, we’re grateful for how far we’ve come—and excited for what’s ahead. Our growth is driven by a commitment to people, investment in technology, and a deep appreciation for our customers and team. We’re proud of what we’ve built and look forward to continuing to serve the trucking community across Ohio and beyond.
