History

Bubbo, the shop's namesake, initially worked at the VA Hospital while pursuing his passion as a rodeo clown. Following a rodeo accident, Bubbo embraced a new career path, apprenticing under Bill at Waco Armature until he was ready to establish his own venture with his wife, Flora. Together, they founded what has grown into the leading rotating electrical shop in Waco and the surrounding region.

In 1971, Bubbo’s son-in-law, Joe, joined the team, marking the beginning of the second generation. When Bubbo later retired, Joe took over, prompting a name change to Joe’s Starter & Generator Shop. Under Joe’s capable leadership, the business expanded significantly, earning respect and trust within the community.

Now in its third generation, Jason literally grew up in the shop, learning the trade from both his father and grandfather. After pursuing further education in electronic engineering in Phoenix, Arizona, Jason returned to Waco to contribute to the family business. In 2013, he assumed ownership from Joe, who was preparing for retirement. Jason is enthusiastic about the future and looks forward to passing on his knowledge to the fourth generation.

We sincerely appreciate your business and are committed to serving our community for generations to come.

"This is a 3rd generation generator shop. If you want a generator or alternator fixed so it lasts and is done right this is where I will go from now on."

"My husband and I were having major issues with our generator on the RV and had a big trip planned with the family. He spoke with the local camper sales lot and they told him if you want it fixed right take it to Joe’s. We were concerned that it wouldn’t get fixed in time and we really needed the generator for where we were going. We brought the RV in on a Tuesday and it was fixed by Friday. Thank you guys."

Appreciative Customer

"We had a 2015 generator that would not run correctly from day 1. We had it at the dealer being looked at for 8 weeks and it still came back with issues.

Jason at Joe’s Generator Shop took the time to troubleshoot the issue and had it resolved in 1 week. I could not be happier with his level of customer service and professionalism."

"These are good, hardworking, honest people with INTEGRITY!! I was in a serious pinch and they had me in and out in less than 30 minutes and it cost me next to nothing. I expected them to tell me I had all sorts of issues, but they were honest and corrected the problem with a few bolts."
