Open from 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday, NB Auto is run in addition to Neitzel and Bayleke’s current construction/concrete business, which is limited to the warmer seasons.
“Construction you can’t do year-round,” Bauleke said. “So this will keep us going through the winter.”
Although they haven’t been in business long, the guys have been very busy, and have already had repeat customers.
“The first week was slow,” commented Neitzel. “But since then business has picked up and hasn’t slowed down.”
NB’s success can likely be attributed to their quick, in-and-out service, as well as word of mouth from happy customers. As far as parts, the guys credit Dan Budach at NAPA Auto Parts in New Richland. They also consulted with New Richland Auto Repair prior to and during startup.
“We’ve had a lot of parents bring in their kids’ cars,” Neitzel said. “People don’t want to wait for their vehicles to be done. We get them in, get them fixed, and they’re done – everybody’s happy.”
Walk-ins are welcome; or call ahead, (507) 461-9640.
