LEGACY
Our Story
In 1953, Albert Lesperance bought the garage and gas pumps on Balm Beach Road in Tiny Township. Ever since the Lesperance family has owned and run Lesperance Service & Towing.
In 1956, Richard and Muriel Lesperance started running the business and continued for years to come until their son Tim and his wife Shelley took over.
The gas pumps were originally a Supertest Station. Soon after it was changed to a BP, and then finally to a Petro-Canada Service Station. They don't offer fueling stations anymore, but it was a part of the business that made it where it is today.
Richard and Muriel had 4 children: Brian, Ron, Tim, and Bonnie. Tim and his wife Shelley eventually took over the business after his Dad, and are the current owners of the business.
OUR VALUES
What We Stand for after Seven Decades
Many people assume all local shops operate the same way. The difference shows up when a technician could recommend extra work but doesn't or when a tow driver takes extra care loading a classic car. A 70-year track record built on repeat customers proves that honest, skilled service is the only kind worth offering.
Transparency Before Profit
Our technicians show you the problem, explain the repair, and provide a quote before any wrench turns. No surprises on your invoice, no upselling.
Community First
We sponsor local hockey and summer baseball teams, support fundraising golf tournaments, and participate in events like the Georgian Bay Garden Tour. Giving back isn't a slogan here.
Expertise You Can Verify
Our team holds Licensed 310S and 310T certifications, meaning they've met Ontario's standards for both automotive service and truck repair.
Neighbours Helping Neighbours
We regularly assist other local repair shops and contractors with towing when they need a hand. That cooperative spirit reflects how we approach every relationship.
