People see a repair shop. We see years of history.

This shop has served our community for decades, and we're incredibly honored to be part of its story.

When we took ownership, we weren't just buying a business—we were building a future together as brother and sister. Renaming it Northern Bear Auto Repair in honor of our late mom made it so much more than a repair shop. It became a way for us to carry her memory forward while building something that reflects the values she taught us: hard work, honesty, and treating people like family.

Like any siblings, we've had our disagreements, celebrated our victories, and worked through plenty of challenges over the years. But one thing has never changed—we've always wanted to build something we could be proud of together.

Every vehicle that comes through our doors, every conversation, and every customer who trusts us reminds us why we do what we do. We don't take that trust for granted.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, encouraged us, and chosen to be part of our journey. We truly couldn't do this without our incredible community.

From our family to yours, thank you for allowing us to keep Northern Michigan rolling. ❤️🐻
