Founder and US Coast Guard veteran Lake Williams started SP Automotive to build a shop that prioritizes honesty and superior service above all else.
The shop is named after his late father, Stephen Paul Williams, who had him holding the flashlight in the garage before he was five years old; instilling a lifelong passion for automobiles that SP Automotive carries forward today.
Give us a call or stop by the shop — we’re happy to take a look and give you a straight answer.
