Our Story
Our Story
Allan’s Tool Shed started out as just that in 1992. We needed a new building to replace an old driveshed and it turned into a 2 bay garage with storage up top.
In 1993 we started a part-time business in the evening while Allan worked full time for Chrysler dealerships, part time got too busy, so one job had to go. Bye-bye dealership – hello Allan’s Tool Shed.
We are members of the NAPA AUTOCARE team and take many courses to stay on top of new technology. Each year finds us buying another few pieces of equipment to service your vehicles better.
Our oldest son Nicholas joined us in 2002 and with his keen interest, he is a great asset to our shop. He is also a member of the Merrickville Volunteer Fire Department so don’t be surprised to see him at all kinds of things. Watch out for the next generation running around the shop on occasion.
We are very proud to help support the Merrickville Firefighters Association, Grenville County Plowmen’s Association and the Merrickville Agricultural Association.
