The owner of this establishment is excellent to deal with! Great service hands down! I had a UHaul truck I needed to drop off. The place I rented from said the nearest UHaul place was 30 miles from where I was. I found Bauer's on the web which was only 4 miles from where I was. I called and talked with the owner. He was very nice and very helpful and put my mind at ease. He found me in the system and put me down for drop off there. Drop off was super easy. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Outstanding service. Rented a trailer here in May. Easy/fast rental and easy/fast return. This month I had a propane tank recertified. The owner (and staff) is helpful and friendly. I will return!

Had a new hitch put on our Audi Q5 and it turned out MINTY! Looks as good as OEM and the workmanship and professionalism was top notch. If you need a hitch put on, especially if you have a higher-end import, these are the guys.
Appreciate the great work! Keep it up!

Not realizing that everyone and their neighbor is looking to get hitches installed I had left this task for the last week before going on a road trip. I called multiple other places and average wait time was 2 weeks. After a string of disappointments I called Bauer on a Sunday and in spite of being busy and not to mention incredibly hot (weather wise) the guys (Marcus, Chris and Josh) undertook the job and delivered in style. I have incredible respect for the team for doing a professional and thorough job and for being so courteous about it. Highly recommended.

Really pleased with the service I received at this location all the employees were extremely helpful, friendly, and polite. Which is greatly appreciated when dealing with the stress of moving and all that it entails. I would personally recommend this location to anyone and based on how I was treated if I still lived in the Twin Cities I would be a customer of all their services. A good childhood friend helped me pack and he had nothing, but great things to say about this business as well.

I have been coming to Bauer's for at least 20 years for truck and trailer rental, installing 2 trailer hitches, lots of propane (I'm a big BBQer)and occasionally gas. Their service has also been high quality workmanship of high quality products. Mike has helped solve some propane tank confusion for me during the propane valve changeover a few years ago. They do a big business and are usually busy but I have found them to be friendly, courteous and timely in their labor scheduling and work performance.
one unique customer service they provide is a dropoff place for used packing boxes for free pickup

Nothing but good experiences at Bauer's. The mechanic Shay has worked on my '14 Ford Fiesta a few times. Oil changes, Rear shocks, a front axle, brakes, and some check engine light stuff. Always had my car back in a few hours and the price has been more than fair, my dad works at NAPA and he was surprised how reasonable the pricing is. Wish they had a waiting room to chill in, But it was kinda fun to watch my car be worked on even tho Shay made me wear safety glasses in the shop :)
I was surprised that such a small shop has so many high tech tools. I'm in college for engineering and welding so

I have been going to Bauer's for my trailer hitch needs since 2010. Right now they are helping me get the right kind of hitch set up on my new Highlander so I can safely tow my camper. Mike the owner and Shay the mechanic are just the best. It is hard these days to find service where the people really know what they are doing, but this is one such place. They are willing to stop what they are doing and talk so they learn what it is that you really need. I grew up in a small town where things were friendly and personal. This place is like the kind of shop I remember. Sometimes they can get very
