If you are looking for an auto repair facility to handle all of your automotive and light truck servicing needs, and you are also interested in working with a business that applies old fashioned "family values" as well as true honesty and integrity in their business dealings, then Looper Servicenter, Inc. (L.S.I.) in Rockville, Maryland is the place to go. L.S.I.began its business life as Looper Brothers in 1931. Leon and Ray Looper began the business that is currently known as L.S.I.in the vicinity of North Washington Street and Beall Avenue.

What has become an institution in Rockville, Montgomery County, and the Washington metropolitan area, began doing business when Rockville was a sleepy little farming town. At a time when individual families were just beginning to own cars, Looper Brothers was both an Esso gas station and a full-service automotive mechanical garage.

The current owner and President of L.S.I., Glenn Looper, started working for Looper Brothers when he was 14 years old. Glenn, who was Ray Looper's son and Leon Loopers nephew, worked at that time pumping gas and washing cars.

In 1970, Ray and Leon retired. Glenn, who had been working as a mechanic for Looper Brothers, bought the business at that time and incorporated it, under the name Looper Servicenter, Inc. The business moved to its present location on Stonestreet Avenue in 1971.

After taking over the business, Glenn began the process of modernizing the business and has successfully brought the business into the 21st century. When Glenn began running the business, it continued operating the general automotive service facility, but stopped operating as an Esso gas station.

In 1971, L.S.I. acquired an automotive radiator business. Through this acquisition, the business branched out into the area of automotive cooling and heat transfer. In addition, in 1992, the business bought a franchise called Gas Tank Renu, which provides the business with the ability to use a patented process for refurbishing automotive gas tanks (as well as the gas tanks used by trucks, other vehicles and certain machinery).
