Law Automotive History
Howard “Butch” Law founded Law Automotive at its current location in 1972. The original, two-and-a-half bay shop was a one-mechanic operation specializing in engine repair and brakes as well as fuel and carburetion. Butch showcased his talents on race cars he owned, built and maintained, becoming well-known as one of the area's best mechanics.
Butch's son, Roland Law, bought the business in 1994. An ASE certified Master Technician, Roland, along with his wife, Stacy, updated the business, converting the shop to computerized technology and modern tools. They demolished the original shop in 1995 to make way for a new three bay facility, and then in 2003, expanded to five bays.
Roland continues the Law Automotive tradition his father began by personally servicing cars on a daily basis. He and Stacy, the office and business manager, lead a team of five full-time employees.
Law Automotive is a sponsoring member of the International Automotive Technicians Network and a subscribing member of Identifix information systems.
