History of the Business:

Down East Offroad was started in 1996 by the present owner, Robert Bass. He has been working on 4x4 vehicles since he was a young boy and always dreamed of owning his own business just like his grandfather had done. He was inspired by his grandfather whom taught him great business skills and ways to acheive in owning a business in today's society. It all started by selling parts to customers out of his house and becoming more and more popular which led to renting his first shop in the small town of Elm City. After 2 years of being there and getting recognized for his trustworthy business sense, his success moved his company into an 8,000 square foot facility with 4 bays and lots more room, which is where it still resides today. Down East Offroad is now in their 10th year of business and has orders and jobs coming in from all over the country. We are very pleased with the growth that this business is making. We have been very fortunate! In 2004 , Down East Offroad started the online store. So far, it has been very successful and everyone here is hoping that it will grow bigger throughout the upcoming years.
