Louie established Louie’s Auto Service on September 26, 1988 as a 2-bay repair shop at the Haines Acres Mobil. He bought his first tow truck in 1990 and added a rollback in 1992. Louie moved his shop to its current location on Industrial Highway in November 1993 because the 3-bay shop offered needed space.
