The automotive repair service business was opened in 1926 as “The Gas Station of Distinction” by a merchant seaman named Captain Phillip W. Reeves. In 1935, George Richter leased the station from Reeves. For the next 43 years, Richter ran the business. In 1978, George Richter retired and Paul Rennie, who had started working at Richter’s as a part-time attendant in 1966, bought it from him. Currently, Rennie and his wife Polly are the owners. Richter’s Service stopped selling gas in 1988, and has focused solely on automotive service ever since. “We’re working with yesterday’s traditions and today’s technology,” says Richter’s Auto Owner Paul Rennie. Rennie says a few of the things that make Richter’s stand out are the longevity and history of the shop, and the friendly attitude toward customers. “I think we’re one of the friendlier places,” he says. Richter’s Service backs up their work with a 12 month/12,000 mile guarantee, and they have loaner cars and local shuttle service available for customers. The auto technicians at Richter’s are ASE certified and continually keep up to date with the latest automotive trends and technologies by attending classes, clinics, and hands on seminars. They are also connected to ALLDATA and IDENTIFIX, which provide online and hotline diagnostic repair information.
