Fleet owners and drivers are feeling the squeeze this year. In 2025, the pressure is real — demand for deliveries keeps climbing, but the time, people, and parts to keep things moving seem harder to come by. When every vehicle in your fleet matters, one breakdown can throw off an entire day, a week, or even a contract.

That’s why fall is the best time to take control before winter takes control of you. You can’t change the weather or fix the global supply chain, but you can make sure your fleet is ready to face what’s ahead. And in fall 2025, when parts are taking longer to arrive and the repair backlog is growing, getting ahead isn’t just a good idea — it’s a business strategy.

At DeBoer’s Auto, we believe that leadership isn’t just about running a business—it’s about inspiring others, building trust, and creating a culture that feels like family. On this National Boss’s Day 2025, we’re proud to honor Bill DeBoer, Jr., Owner and Visionary of DeBoer’s Auto, whose leadership, innovation, and heart have shaped who we are today.

From its inception, DeBoer’s Auto has been grounded in the belief that customer satisfaction should always be at the center of everything we do. Bill has carried forward the legacy his father began, taking the reins with humility, purpose, and a spirit of innovation. His philosophy is simple but powerful: no matter what business you’re in, you’re in the business of serving people.

When was the last time you thought about the fluids in your car—other than your oil change? Most of us know oil changes are essential every 3,000 to 5,000 miles to keep the engine protected. But the truth is, your vehicle relies on several other fluids that are just as important.

There’s nothing quite like fall in our corner of the world. The air turns crisp, the pace of life feels a little slower, and the trees put on a show like no other. As kids settle back into school and the days grow shorter, many of us can’t resist hopping in the car for a drive through the countryside to soak in the beautiful changing colors.

Here's Why That Matters
You might be wondering, “Didn’t we already do Car Care Awareness Month?” And you’d be right—we did celebrate it back in April. But here's the twist: Car Care Awareness Month happens twice a year—once in the spring and again in the fall. And there's a really good reason for that.

Did you know that regular tire rotations can extend the life of your tires by thousands of miles? Yet, it’s one of the most overlooked maintenance tasks. Your tires are your vehicle’s only contact with the road, so keeping them in good condition is essential for safety, performance, and savings. At DeBoer’s Auto, we believe tire rotation is one of the simplest and most effective ways to keep you safe—and to help you live life uninterrupted.

At DeBoer’s Auto, we believe our work goes beyond keeping cars safe and reliable—it’s about supporting the people and community we serve. This fall, we’re proud to once again partner with TechNet Professional Automotive Service for the annual Brakes for Breasts campaign, a nationwide effort to put the brakes on breast cancer.

When it comes to taking care of your vehicle, not everything is as simple as it seems—especially alignments. You’ve probably seen a range of prices and promises from different shops, and maybe you’ve even experienced a car that still doesn’t feel quite right after an alignment. That’s because not all alignments are the same.

At DeBoer’s Auto, we believe in doing things the right way the first time. And a big part of that is educating our customers about what goes into a truly proper alignment.

Ever tried driving through a rainstorm with wipers that just smear everything across your windshield? It’s not just frustrating—it’s unsafe. Your wiper blades may seem like a small part of your vehicle, but they play a huge role in keeping you safe, especially during harsh weather.

At DeBoer’s Auto, our mission is to help people live life uninterrupted. That means making sure the little things—like your wiper blades—are taken care of so you can keep moving forward with confidence.
