So, why choose the name "Battlefield" Service Center? When Battlefield Service Center began as Battlefield Texaco, it was located at the National Battlefield Park on Sudley Road in Manassas, Virginia.
Mel Johnson, who opened Battlefield Texaco in June 13, 1973, asked Jim Dowell to be his manager of operations. Jim had been one of Mel Johnson’s students at Marshall High School and participated in the automotive shop program for three years prior. As partners, they built the business to include Battlefield Texaco, Battlefield Service Center, Battlefield Automotive, Battlefield Transport, and Battlefield Towing. By 1981, these companies all served western Prince William County and Northern Virginia, operating under a division of Battlefield Corporation.
Mel retired in 1990, and then passed away in 1993. By then, Jim had already taken over with the support of his family and the employees. In 1992 the Texaco station was sold so they could concentrate on auto and truck repairs and towing.
Battlefield Service Center has been a family owned and operated business since its founding and remains so today.
Battlefield Service Center is active in many local organizations and also supports youth activities such as baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and other local athletic teams.
