The Story of EuroPro, formally known as Ken Baker’s Original
Ken Baker opened the doors to EuroPro over 35 years ago in Marion, South Carolina. Almost as soon as he got the business up and running, Ken was quick to take notice that vehicles were becoming more and more technologically advanced. He also had the insight to realize that it made sense to choose a brand for EuroPro. BMW’s were experiencing a growth in the United States and there were only a few shops that would service and repair them. It was a natural fit.
For the next decade, EuroPro worked solely on BMWs. Marion BMW drivers relied on us for maintenance, repairs, mechanical work, and even bodywork. After some time Ken opened the East Coast’s largest BMW recycling center and became heavily involved in the used sports business. In 2005, Ken’s son, Cal Baker, took over operations and realized that the facility in Marion was no longer able to serve all our customers.
