Victory Auto Service Enhances Its Eastern Minneapolis Reach

Victory Auto Service, part of the Straightaway Tire & Auto brand, has made a significant move by finalizing its acquisition of Stillwater Auto Clinic, located in Oak Park Heights, Minnesota. This acquisition took place on January 24, 2025, and represents a strategic expansion for Victory Auto Service, marking its 15th location within the region. This addition is particularly noteworthy as it fortifies Victory Auto Service's commitment to establishing partnerships with reputable neighborhood auto repair facilities.

Founded years ago, Stillwater Auto Clinic is well-regarded in the Oak Park Heights community for its high standards of service and trustworthiness. The newly acquired facility is spacious and well-equipped, offering ample capacity that is set to support Victory's growth trajectory, while still adhering to the high-quality service standards customers have come to expect from the brand.

Jeff Matt, the brand president of Victory Auto Service, expressed excitement about this expansion stating, "We are thrilled to expand into the east metro area with the addition of Stillwater Auto Clinic. This acquisition is a significant milestone in our mission to provide top-tier auto service across the greater Minneapolis area. We look forward to building strong relationships with the Stillwater and Oak Park Heights communities and becoming their go-to destination for reliable auto care."

Victory Auto Service has pledged to maintain the customer-first approach that Stillwater Auto Clinic is known for, ensuring that existing customers will receive the same friendly service from the skilled technicians they have appreciated for years. This will include familiar faces and a seamless transition as the staff at Stillwater Auto Clinic will remain in place.

Steve Continenza, the former owner of Stillwater Auto Clinic, voiced confidence in the alignment of values between his former establishment and Victory Auto Service. He stated, "After years of serving this wonderful community, I am confident that Victory Auto Service is the right choice to carry forward the legacy of Stillwater Auto Clinic. Victory shares our dedication to honesty, quality, and customer satisfaction. I’m especially pleased that all of our talented mechanics and staff will remain, ensuring that customers continue to receive the same level of care and expertise."

This acquisition not only strengthens the brand's reputation as a trusted auto service provider in the Twin Cities area but also reflects the broader strategy of Straightaway Tire & Auto to enhance their regional footprint. The Straightaway family of brands focuses on the preservation and support of locally owned auto repair businesses. By facilitating strategic acquisitions, the company aims to provide established businesses with resources and operational know-how which will promote their growth and sustainability.
