Jeck’s Service Center is a multi-generation family business. It will soon be the third generation to be exact.
Jeck’s was opened in 1956 at a small two bay gas station only a mile away from our current location. My grandfather, Roy, and my grandmother, Eldora, opened the doors using his nickname, “Jeck”, for the business name. (It was the typical Texaco gas station and service center anyone might remember from the 50s and 60s. These were the days when grease jobs needed a lube chart to locate the literally dozens of grease fittings a car may have hidden. Tune ups were basic but involved quite a few more items than today’s vehicles may require for a tune up.
Pictured here is my grandfather, Roy, and my father, Dennis in front of the original station. Eldora, my grandmother, is pictured at the register.
