About Duanes Repair Inc.


  • Duane's Repair, Inc.
  •     Duane's Repair, Inc. was founded by Duane Irlbeck in July 1986. It was originally located at the Corner Station southeast of town. It started as a one stall garage with an additional stall added about a year later.
  •     In 1993 Duane began looking for a new business site and with the help of the Templeton Area Development Corporation a business park was established, a lot was purchased, and a new building was constructed. Duane's Repair, Inc. moved in February of 1995.It housed a parts room, an upstairs storage area for tires, and four work stalls. In 2000 Duane became a used car dealer and began selling used cars. In 2001 an addition was constructed that added three more stalls. In 2002 Duane purchased the lot to the east of his building from the TADC and a 60ft X100ft storage building was constructed. 2011 brought another addition that was added to the north side of the building for tools and equipment and an additional hoist was added. 2015 brought more changes with a 40ft X100 ft addition to the south side of the east building, it houses an alignment pit, which he now employs 3 technicians that specialize in that field, another hoist and a large detail area. The rollback tow truck is also stored in that addition and is always kept warm for emergency situations. As of January 2021, Duane's Repair, Inc. employs six full time people and two part time people. The company sells about 120 vehicles a year and has a large customer base for its automotive service repair facility. Duane invites anyone to come and see why so many people return to us for service and sales time and time again.
