Our Story




 In 1957 Wilton Sankey began working in Austin, TX servicing air compressor and automotive service equipment for a company.  In 1964 he purchased and moved the company to San Antonio.  Over the next few years Mr. Sankey's family grew, as did the business.  Now Located on the corner of Josephine and Broadway,  Mr. Sankey's knowledge and Mechanical Abilities helped make him San Antonio, Austin, and south Texas' premiere service and Equipment supplier for automotive service equipment.  In 1985 the Company made the move downtown to our 925 AVE B address where it was located for the next 30 years.  Continuing to grow and expand our service area and service team, in 2016 we made the move again to try and improve our ways to serve our customers by doubling the size of our parts warehouse and New equipment inventory.  We are continuing to grow and hone our service team and operations.  We have proudly continuously serviced the Central Texas, Greater San Antonio, Hill Country, Medina Valley, Rio Grande Valley and the Coastal Bend region.
