Pod’s Complete Car Care in White Bear Lake comes with additional bay expansion opportunity and experienced techs and advisors
Minneapolis—Victory Tire & Auto, a Straightaway Tire & Auto brand, has announced the acquisition of Pod’s Complete Car Care, a long-established automotive repair facility in White Bear Lake, Minn.
The acquisition, finalized on July 9, marks Victory’s 19th shop in the greater Minneapolis region and its first in the White Bear Lake area, further strengthening its footprint across the northeast metro.
The newly acquired location is a well-known, eight-bay shop with the potential to expand to 10 bays. With five experienced technicians and two service writers on staff, Victory plans to provide additional resources to support operational growth.
“Our team at Victory Tire & Auto is very excited to welcome in the great staff from Pod’s Complete Car Care,” said Jeff Matt, Victory Tire & Auto Brand President. “We were well aware of the excellent reputation this great business has maintained — for decades — in the White Bear Lake area and couldn’t be happier to add it to our family of locations. Our guests can expect to see several updates to the property and facility, especially to the customer waiting area.”
Victory’s investment in infrastructure is designed to support long-term success while preserving the local character and community relationships that made Pod’s a fixture in the area, the company stated.
“Over the years we have been approached by multiple buyers, but none seemed to possess the traits that align with our business model,” said Ryan Podewils, owner of Pod’s Complete Car Care. “From the moment I met Jeff and his team I knew that they were something special. They really took an interest in my team and our operation. They bring the customer service and management skills to be able to take Pod’s to the next level and continue to provide the same level of service our customers have come to expect for many more years.”
