Great Bear Tire & Auto Services

I & my family have done business with them since about 1970. I am a retired mechanic so in the early days I did most of my own work. I was going on a fishing trip with my buddy's & my daughter informed me her brakes were not working properly. I removed the two front drums and discovered she needed a complete brake job. I didn't realy have the time to do a proper job so went to leroy's to see when he could get it in. He said how about now & I said I would have to find something for her to drive. Leroy reached into his pocket and offered the keys to his personal Oldsmobile. Over the years my kids have called me at work with various car problems that I couldn't help them with at the time so I say give leroy a call. At times the kids will say they don't have enough money. Leroy will just fix it and say have your Dad stop by. I have never been disapointed.

Leroy the owner runs the shop with his managers Troy his son and Rick His top mechanic. I have had my vehicles repaired here many times and have allways been very satisfied. They will offer a ride home and pick you up when work is done. Leroy has lent me his personal vehicle on different occasions. Our family has been a customer for quite some time and when my kids were living at home and needed repairs I would just give him a call and it would be taken care of, /tow job or whatever, no questions. I would just stop by later and get evertyhing straightened out. He has other mechanics working their and all are very competent.

I've brought my poor little old car in to the guys at Leroy's far too many times, and they've always been honest and forthright. They've never suggested more expensive repairs when cheaper ones will do, and on the one occasion that they failed to repair something the first time, they fixed it correctly the second time for free. They've always treated both myself and my husband respectfully, even though we know next to nothing about cars, and when I brought my car in once due to suspected overheating, they didn't charge me a dime when it turned out to be nothing more than my overheated imagination.

I was just looking at the list of shops and noticed that Leroy's was already listed as Leroy's White Bear Lake. Leroy's Travel Center & Leroy's White Bear lake Is the same Shop. It is a family owned operation run by Leroy his son Troy and a very competent mechanic Rick and his son Jeremy.

I've driven by Leroy's many times but didn't pay it much attention. I've noticed some nice "I get it done at Leroy's" bumper stickers around. It wasn't until I had a flat tire across the street at Holiday that I tried them. Right away I was amazed by the service. As I drove up, on a donut, someone was already walking up to meet me as I got out of my car. He immediately listened to my story and took the tire. I was then directed into the office where I was greeted and asked if I wanted something to drink. The entire experience was one the best I've ever had with any mechanics and I will be using them from now on.
