Our Story
Bootlegger Industries was founded by Chris Slagle, a lifelong mechanic who began his journey working on his dad’s ’97 Dodge. In 2010, Chris opened his first shop, Bootlegger Diesel, which closed in 2016. Chris later worked at a dealership but found the experience unfulfilling. He began helping a friend maintain FedEx trucks, fire trucks, and ambulances and realized he wanted to open his own shop again.
He went out on his own doing FedEx work in a small shop, quickly outgrew his initial space, and moved to a larger facility – the old Fox Auto body shop.
The shop now features eight bays and two lifts. Now, with a bustling operation that includes maintaining police, FedEx, and fleet vehicles, Bootlegger Industries continues to grow and serve the community with unmatched dedication.
Driving Passion and Excellence
While we specialize in performance upgrades, suspension systems, custom wheels and tires, lighting, trailer hitches, and winch accessories for your vehicle, we also handle repair work on light-and-medium duty diesel trucks featuring Cummins, Duramax, and Power Stroke engines, as well as fleet work.
We prefer drop-offs, or you can schedule a time to drop your vehicle off with us so we can go through our comprehensive diagnostic process. We offer a courtesy inspection for every vehicle that comes through our shop.
Once that process is complete, we’ll go over the results of the diagnostic test and give you an estimate. You can approve the work you want done. We’ll get a signature for authorization and take care of it. You can pay upfront with a credit card or once you receive your invoice.
