Bales Auto Repair

04/25/2026

Lots of new things happening with us!!! Today is first day of test and tune for Bales Racing! Over the winter we got a new trailer (modifications made by us)! And painted the race car from teal green/blue to a light gray!! Also did some other upgrades.

More new news to follow, but until it is official…I’m not telling what it is (publicly, but some know)!

It’s been a busy year for us and some changes are going to be happening! Some big, some small. But change is progress!! Here are some projects we’ve been working on! Refreshed the motor in Dan’s race car, rebuilt a transmission for a customer and sprayed bed liner on the front and rear bumpers of a truck! We have also been working on Lacy’s mustang. It got the transmission put it and we are now getting down to the nitty gritty and should be starting to finish up the wiring soon!

We've been focused on racing, but now that the season has concluded, we're dedicating our attention to local and mobile service calls. Recently, we serviced customers in the Collins-Maxwell area, performing certified DOT inspections and addressing a fuel issue. Along with a call to Des Moines to silicone a RV roof and windows and packing the wheel bearings to ensure safe travels. Our team also traveled to Liscomb to work on a fire truck last weekend.

So far this week, we have replaced brake lines on the City of Union truck, replaced a heater core in a different truck and winterized all of our vehicles and small engines. We’ve pulled the motor out of the race car to start the “refreshing” process! We’ve also started on my Mustang and getting it put back together!!

We have some bumpers that we are going to be spraying with bed liner and a transmission that is coming in for a rebuild. So to say the least, we have been busy and have plenty of work ahead to do as well!!!!
