MISSOULA, Mont., Nov. 9, 2026 — Shepherd’s Garage opened Bobcat of Missoula on Monday at 9900 Clay Flats Lane, Unit B. Landscapers, construction crews and property owners can now buy or rent Bobcat equipment, pick up parts and arrange service through the Missoula store.
The original Shepherd’s Garage was a repair shop that Jack Shepherd opened in Jackson in 1945. Today, co-owners Toby Shepherd and Evan Peacock lead the family business. Their Missoula customers can draw on the same parts inventory and shop experience that serve customers in Jackson, Dillon, Helena and Victor.
Store manager Eric Milner brings more than a decade of experience in equipment, rentals and dealership management. His goal is to earn the trust of the people who depend on those machines for a living. For a landscape contractor deciding whether to rent or buy a loader, that starts with understanding the work already on the books and helping weigh the cost of each option.
When a machine goes down, the Missoula team can check for parts across the dealerships and consult a technician familiar with the model. Customers have one local contact who can explain the options, give them a timeline and call back if it changes.
Bobcat Company’s equipment ranges from mini track loaders for tight jobsites to large excavators and wheel loaders. Its lineup includes skid-steer and compact track loaders, small articulated loaders, backhoe loaders, telehandlers and light compaction equipment. Landscapers and grounds crews can choose from tractors, commercial mowers, turf renovation equipment, utility vehicles and Toolcat utility work machines. Attachments and implements put those machines to work grading soil, trenching, mowing and clearing snow.
The Missoula team can help customers identify the right product and confirm local sales, rental and service options.
Customers are welcome to stop in and meet Milner Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For equipment, rental or service inquiries, call (406) 726-3025 or visit shepherdsgarage.com/missoula.
