About The Owner
Born on April 23, 1964, in McAllen, Texas, Joe Garcia grew up with a passion for automotive work. His parents, Jose and Bertha Garcia, owned a small service station on N. Closner in Edinburg, where Joe spent countless hours learning the craft alongside his father. While he attended school in the Edinburg district, his true education came from hands-on experience at the family business, where he developed the skills, work ethic, and dedication that would shape his career.
The family business, Joe's Texaco, became a cornerstone of the community, operated by Joe, his father, and his two brothers. However, it was Joe’s forward-thinking approach—embracing technology, advertising, and modern equipment—that set them apart from other service stations in the Rio Grande Valley. Recognizing the power of strategic marketing, Joe secured a groundbreaking partnership with B104 All Hit Music & More, the region’s top radio station. This agreement allowed the station’s vans to receive fuel and maintenance in exchange for on-air promotions, catapulting Joe's Texaco to new heights. Soon, customers from Brownsville, Rio Grande City, and Hebbronville were making the drive for Joe’s trusted service.
With growing demand, Joe expanded the business by acquiring six heavy-duty tow trucks, introducing a new revenue stream that enabled him to offer unbeatable $14.95 oil changes while competitors charged significantly more. The station quickly became a go-to destination for automotive care, and even though fuel is no longer sold under the current name, Joe’s Master Service Center, the legacy lives on. To this day, locals still recall the iconic slogan: "Joe knows gas!"
Today, under Joe Garcia’s leadership, Joe’s Master Service Center has evolved into a thriving million-dollar corporation, firmly rooted in the Rio Grande Valley. His dedication to quality service, fair pricing, and innovation continues to define the business, ensuring that every customer receives expert care backed by decades of experience.
