The founder
Jack Shepherd
Jack started the business in 1945 with a small shop, a strong work ethic and a commitment to keeping local ranchers moving.
Four generations
Built in the Big Hole. Still family led.
What began as a fuel station and repair shop in Jackson in 1945 grew alongside the ranchers it served. Four generations later, Shepherd’s Garage still stands for practical knowledge, direct answers and support after the sale.
Where it started
Built for the work at hand.
Jack Shepherd opened the original Jackson shop in 1945 as a Texaco station and repair garage for local ranchers. As their needs changed, the work changed too—from fixing equipment to building hay loaders, beaverslides, buckrakes and other machinery made for the Big Hole Valley.
That ability to adapt carried Shepherd's Garage from fabrication into equipment sales, parts and service. The company expanded to Dillon in 2005 and now serves customers through Jackson, Dillon, Helena and Victor—without losing the local accountability on which it was built.
The Shepherd generations
Four generations built the foundation.
The builder
Rich Shepherd
Rich built on his father's foundation, pairing an engineering mind with decades of hard work to grow the garage into a respected equipment dealership.
The next generation
David Shepherd
David grew up in the shop and worked alongside Rich, bringing the same mechanical ability and drive to the family business before his life was cut short in 2001.
The fourth generation
Toby Shepherd
Toby carries the Shepherd name forward, leading the business with the same focus on honest answers, useful equipment and support that lasts beyond the sale.
Family leadership today

Toby Shepherd and Evan Peacock lead Shepherd's Garage together as co-owners and business partners. Together, they share responsibility for protecting what the company stands for and shaping where it goes next.
