A part-owner of the Zachary-based Pit Stop Auto Shop is opening his own auto clinic on O’Neal Lane in Baton Rouge in the near future.
The property—located off O’Neal, near its intersection with Woodwick Avenue—has been sold to Joel and Rebecca Richardson of ODE Investment Properties LLC, for some $230,000.
Joel Richardson, who co-owns Pit Stop Auto Shop in Zachary, and his wife Rebecca will be sole owners of the Baton Rouge auto shop, which will be called “Pit Stop Auto Clinic.”
“We saw the building for sale and thought it seemed like a good opportunity, being between Central Thruway and I-12,” says Joel Richardson. “It’s a busy road, so we think it’ll be good for business.”
The business will offer a variety of automotive services, including oil changes, tire and alignment services, engine maintenance and repair, brake services, air conditioning services and computer diagnostics.
Mathew Laborde of Elifin Realty represented both the buyer and seller in the transaction.
Editor’s Note: This story has been updated from a previous version, which incorrectly stated that Pit Stop Auto Clinic would be an offshoot of the Zachary-based Pit Stop Auto Shop. The two businesses are unaffiliated. Daily Report regrets the error.
