Stone Street Auto Knows their Customers

Adam Prindall said he’s been around engines for a very long time, and he’s continuing his experience in Walpole still at Stone Street Auto.

“I had just like lawnmowers and dirtbikes when I was a kid and they would break and I’d fix them,” Prindall said.

Prindall said his father started the business in 1995 on South Street and moved to their current location in 2000. He said he was working in the shop in his youth a lot.

“I spent a lot of summer vacations working on South Street,” Prindall said. “I graduated in 2000. After I graduated I did a few other things, landscaping, hardwood floors and electrician, but It’d working at the garage too.”

Prindall said though he likes working with engines, it’s the people that make it really satisfying.

“Some days are really good,” he said. “I enjoy my customers, and they’re the best that I could possibly have. I know 99 percent of everybody that walks through that door. It’s a big part of the place.”

Prindall said he gets a lot of his dad’s friends coming in the business too.

“I pretty much grew up with most of them,” he said. “They’ve known me since I was riding a BMX bike in the parking lot.”

Prindall said he works on boats now in his free time. He said it’s a lot of fun, but can be shocking at times.

“There was a mess, I had to hook up a boat battery underwater because the boat was sinking,” he said. “I would not recommend people doing that.”

Prindall said they work on a lot of older vehicles as well, restoring and maintaining their classic feel.

“There’s a bunch of hot rod muscle cars that we toy around with,” he said. “Some are customers’ and some are ours. We have a 1962 Ford F-100, and we’ve got it pretty well done. IT’s pretty much original. It’s nothing real pretty under the hood but we’ve done a lot to keep it going.”

Prindall said Walpole is a great town and he loves working there.

“I love Walpole,” he said. “The traffic gets a little bad sometimes but hey.”

Prindall sad the shop sponsors local baseball, field hockey and football teams.
