After-Hours Drop Off
Occasionally, the need for auto repairs arises long after most repair shops have closed. Our after-hours vehicle drop-off services enable you to leave your car at our Bear Lake facility for repairs, even when we're not operating. Simply complete a drop-off form, place your keys inside, and deposit the envelope in our secure drop box.

We will reach out to you once your vehicle is ready or if any additional information is required. At Northstar Automotive, we highly value your convenience, which is why we extend after-hours drop-off services.

Pre-Purchase Inspections
Are you planning to buy a new car? Don't take chances. Be confident about the car you are buying. Have pre-purchase inspections performed on the vehicle. Pre-purchase inspections involve examining the car's condition to ensure it is worth buying. At Northstar Automotive, we have pre-purchase inspection experts - mechanics who will scrutinize any car, make, and model and allow you to make an informed decision. Pre-purchase inspections will definitely give you peace of mind when you buy your next used car.

Pre-Trip Inspection
The importance of a pre-trip inspection cannot be overstated, as it can be the decisive factor between a safe journey and one that ends in disaster. This inspection aims to identify potential defects and mechanical issues that might lead to accidents or breakdowns. Before embarking on your trip, it is essential to ensure that your vehicle undergoes a comprehensive safety inspection. Feel free to drop by or give us a call at 231-864-3139.

RV Repair
Encountering issues with your recreational vehicle can be challenging. It's crucial not to entrust your RV to just any mechanic. For all your RV repair and maintenance needs, do not hesitate to contact us or visit our shop.

Northstar Auto has never let me down. They identify your problems and don't sell you services that are not needed. They treat you more like family than just another customer. This trip my car windshield washer was not working. They quickly discovered that mice had made my car there home while I was in Florida. They chewed through the washer tube and had filled my filters full of seeds and nuts. They also noticed I needed my brake fluid changed. They repaired my windshield washer tube, replaced my filters, and replaced my old brake fluid. They provided me with transportation home while they did the brake fluid so I would not have to sit there all day. How many auto places do that for there customers? Northstar Auto is family owned and go above and beyond to get you back on the road.

Great overall experience. Clean, organized shop. Friendly. A wonderful, full service, small town business. Thanks so much for the fine and knowledgeable service on the 64 GTO. Nice to know real mechanics are still out there.
