Our Story

Morton's Garage was founded in 1943 by William W. (Bill) Morton, a former shop foreman for A.W. Mitchell Company. This first repair center was located at Spotsylvania Courthouse in the back of Scott Perry's Store (the current Chewning's Grocery).

In the beginning, the primary tasks were repairing school buses, sawmill diesel units, and tractors used for logging. In the early 1950s, Morton's introduced the chainsaw to the Fredericksburg area. They sold and repaired the Pioneer chainsaw, as well as IEL saws from Vancouver, Canada. During this time, Bill Morton was involved with some engineering changes to the early STIHL® saws. He helped determine ways to eliminate vapor locking on the 06 model and provided input for the development of the automatic oiler system. Additionally, Andreas Stihl, founder of STIHL, was a visitor to the store with his son Peter, the current owner of this German company.

In the early 1960s, lawn mowers and Yamaha® motorcycles were added to the Morton's product line. About five years later, Morton erected a new 2,400-square-foot building, and Morton's relocated to the intersection of Courthouse Road and Smith Station Road. In 1970, Bill decided to replace Yamaha with BMW® motorcycles, a more exclusive and exciting product to sell and service.

In March of 1979, Bill and his wife Marguerite, who was the company bookkeeper from its beginning, decided to retire. They sold the business to their nephews and current owners, Bob and Jeff Massey. Morton-Massey, Inc. was formed.

Morton's expanded its physical location in October of 1996 when adjacent property and existing buildings were purchased and renovated. Motorcycle operations moved into the newly renovated facility. Morton's total building square footage was now over 7,200.

Eight years later, Bob and Jeff decided to relocate both the outdoor power equipment and motorcycle operations to the newly renovated Four-Mile-Fork Shopping Center. This new state-of-the-art facility provided over 40,000 square feet of space for Morton's Power Equipment and Morton's BMW. This new corporate ID facility provides the necessary space to meet the needs of the expanding outdoor power products marketplace. Morton's Power Equipment now continues to offer sales and service of a wide range of products, including a full line of STIHL® products, Toro® lawn equipment, generators, trailers, and more.
