Crews quickly doused the flames, which were in close proximity to a large propane tank.
The old shop was being used as a storage facility, which was holding a racing car, a Ford F150 truck and about 80 tires.
Damage is estimated at $150,000.
The cause of the fire is still unknown, but the Office of the Fire Marshal and Belleville police are currently investigating the scene.
