About Us 

Ames Auto & Outdoor Equipment grew from a shop owned by Roy Ames .Who started his shop in 1971 and named it Roys Auto Repair. He was a full automotive service center to include body and paint work. Jeff Ames, a son of Roy worked for his dad part time and full time for 25 plus years in the equipment field, repairing both large and small equipment. Becoming a service manager for a compact utility tractor, lawn, forest and garden equipment dealership. In 2008 Roy passed on and Jeff took over the company. His goal was to increase the automotive customer base and then expand into some equipment lines. The goals are being achieved as we are now a full Jonsered equipment dealer selling and servicing chain saws trimmers, brush cutters, leaf blowers and hedge clippers. Oregon chain and various other items Oregon has for their dealers, Westinghouse generators and the list goes on. The shop is always busy with repairs from lawn tractors, snow blowers and many other types of outdoor power equipment.Through getting involved in all this, we have not lost sight of the automotive industry and have increased our auto repair base 50% in just the last year. We are using state of the art diagnostic equipment, added a second lift, using all the sources that a new computer system can give you, getting live information from an array of sources and vendors for repair information. We are doing continuing education via web and other. We are a small company with two full time employees, two part time employees, and a lot of family help taking care of the day to day items behind the scene. We care about the customer and the quality of work we put out. As you can see the business has been here for many years with many more to come, along with experience and training to meet today's needs. The goals have been the same from day one when my dad owned the business and that is a company where the customer counts!!!
