What a turnout! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth at the Lake Mills Farmers Market today for the Free Kids Event with Legendary Lake Mills. The weather was perfect, the crowd was awesome, and honestly we're not sure who had more fun — the kids, or Ellyn and me. 😄

Getting to hang out with so many families from our community is one of our favorite parts of being a local business. Thanks for letting us be part of your afternoon.

A big thank-you to Lake Mills Chamber Main Street for putting this together, and to Ellyn Hosey and Dana Schmidt for organizing our setup and making it all happen. 👏

If you see yourself or your kiddo in these photos, tag yourself! We'd love to see you again — at the market or at the shop.

Licensed, registered, and ready for fun! 🚗☀️

Topel's is set up downtown at the Lake Mills Farmers Market this afternoon with Legendary Lake Mills for a FREE Kids Event — and we couldn't have asked for a better day. 80 degrees and sunny!

Big shoutout to Ellyn and Dana for organizing everything and getting our booth looking great. 👏

It's the perfect after-school stop — bring the kids down, check out what we've got going on, and say hi. We'd love to see you!

Big day at Topel’s! 📹🔋

We had the pleasure of hosting Kate and Claire from Clarios — along with their camera crew — at the shop today to film a video for their nationwide team highlighting the importance of Right to Repair.

If you’re not familiar with Clarios, you should be. Headquartered right here in Wisconsin (Glendale), they manufacture more than 150 million automotive and low-voltage batteries every year — roughly one in three vehicle batteries on the road worldwide. They supply the aftermarket with brands you know: DieHard AGM, Optima, ACDelco, and Motorcraft, and they run a closed-loop recycling system that turns old batteries back into new ones.

Right to Repair matters to every one of our clients. It means independent shops like ours keep access to the tools, data, and parts we need to service today’s increasingly complex vehicles — so you get to choose who works on your car.

Thank you Kate, Claire, and the whole crew for spending the day with our team. We’re proud to represent independent repair alongside a Wisconsin manufacturer doing it right. 🧡

Six years ago, Sam walked into our shop. Today he's our Technician Team Lead — and honestly, we can't picture the place without him. 🔧
Sam is the guy you want on the hard ones. The intermittent electrical gremlin. The "three shops couldn't figure it out" car. He tests, he analyzes, he doesn't guess — and he stays calm while he does it.
He's also the person our whole team leans on. Patient with the apprentices. Thorough on every job. Trusted by all of us, and by the customers who ask for him by name.
Sam, thank you for six years of doing it right. We're lucky to have you.
🎉 Drop him a congrats below! 👇

🎉 Celebrating 1 Year with Sara! 🎉

This Monday marks one year since Sara joined our team as a Service Advisor — and what a year it's been!

Sara is the kind of teammate every shop hopes for: hardworking, friendly, organized, and dependable. She's a true advocate for our clients, always making sure they feel heard and taken care of. 💙

Over the past year, she's grown right alongside our team — diving deeper into how vehicles work and earning certifications through BG Products. She's always learning, always leveling up.

Thank you, Sara, for everything you bring to Topel's. Here's to year two and beyond! 🚗🔧

🎉 Happy Birthday to our Lead Technician, Sam! 🎉

Behind every vehicle we get back on the road safely is a team of dedicated pros — and Sam is one of the very best. As our Lead Technician, he can diagnose just about anything that rolls into the bay, and he brings the kind of skill, care, and mentorship that makes Topel’s the shop our community trusts.

Help us wish Sam a happy birthday — drop a 🎂 in the comments to send him some birthday love!

From all of us at Topel’s Service Center 🧡🔧

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember.

🇺🇸 Topel’s Service Center will be closed Monday, May 25, in observance of Memorial Day so our team can spend the day with their families and reflect on those who gave everything for ours.

Topel’s Towing & Roadside Service will remain available 24/7 — because emergencies don’t take holidays. If you need us, we’re here.

We honor the fallen heroes of our military, and we hold close the families who carry their absence every day. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten.

From all of us at Topel’s — thank you. 🇺🇸

📍 Washington, D.C.

This was me on the steps of the U.S. Capitol with hundreds of fellow independent auto care professionals from across the country just last September— fighting for YOUR Right to Repair.

We took our message straight to lawmakers: vehicle owners and the independent repair shops you trust should have the same access to repair information, tools, and parts as the dealerships. Without that access, your choices shrink, your repair costs climb, and your local shop gets pushed out.

This isn't a someday problem. There's a major vote in Congress THIS WEEK that will decide it.

Here's how you can help — in 30 seconds:

👉 Visit repairact.com
👉 Enter your address
👉 Click send

That's it. The pre-written letter goes straight to YOUR lawmakers. You don't have to write a thing. (Want to add a personal note? Even better.)

Topel's has been taking care of Lake Mills since 1948. We want to keep doing it — with full access to the information we need to safely service your modern vehicles.

Please take 30 seconds today. And then share this post so your friends and neighbors can too. 💪

Thank you, Lake Mills. We're in this together.
