For many years, Corral Auto has been voted one of the top auto repair businesses in the Brainerd Lakes area—not just because of the quality of work, but because of the kind of person behind it. Joe LaRoue, the owner of Corral Auto, has a servant’s heart. He is known for taking extra time with customers, going the extra mile to get people safely back on the road, and on more than one occasion repairing vehicles at no cost simply because someone was in need. His love for the Lord is evident in the way he serves his customers and our community.
Unfortunately, a fire at Joe’s shop has caused significant damage and will keep him from operating for a period of time. While the work has paused, the bills have not. Expenses, repairs, and the process of rebuilding will take time. We are asking for help to support Joe and sustain Corral Auto during this season—so that when the shop is restored, he can continue doing what he has always done: serving others with integrity, generosity, and excellence.
If you’ve ever been helped by Joe, known his kindness, or simply believe in supporting good people who serve their community well, we invite you to give and share. Every contribution makes a difference. Thank you for standing with Joe and Corral Auto during this time.
