Shop local. Support local. Keep our community strong.
Monthly drawing
The Supporting Local Drawing
Supporting local businesses is something that is near and dear to the Bear and Son team's hearts. Our monthly drawing is one small way we can introduce our customers to other local businesses, give back to our community, and have a little fun along the way.
How to enter: get ANY repair or diagnostic service done at Bear and Son Automotive Repair during the month, and you're automatically entered!
How we support local
Supporting local is extremely important and something we prioritize. It means your dollars are used within our community, fostering economic resilience and growth. The more we invest locally, the stronger our community foundation becomes.
Each month we purchase, trade, or have donated gift certificates for other local businesses. Every repair order, from oil change to engine replacement, gets a ticket that we then draw from at the end of the month for our Supporting Local Drawing Giveaway. We also post the businesses featured that month on our Facebook page and have a display in the office to help promote and advertise them.
November's prizes
Four prizes. Four winners. Get any repair or diagnostic service in November and you're automatically entered!
Fruit of the Earth
Fruit of the Earth is a family-run, to-go spot created by three generations of women and rooted in love, chaos and faith. They keep things simple, fresh and farm-sourced, with produce from hand-picked farms and greenhouse growers: fruit cups like Melon Medley and Tropical Fusion, crisp veggie cups, chopped salads with house-made dressings, and smoothies like Berry Blast and Green Fusion. Their mission is inspired by Galatians 5:22–23. Order in store, for pickup or curbside. They also cater school events, family gatherings, workplace lunches and celebrations, including personalized fruit carvings.
B&B Towing
B&B Towing has been family owned and operated for over 40 years, with light, medium and heavy-duty wreckers and roll-back haulers. The winner gets a tow to Bear and Son Automotive Repair.
