"I wanted to sincerely thank you all for the honest, fast, courteous, and quality service that I received in October of this year!
I was on a work assignment to Osage Beach when I became stranded with an alternator issue with my 2002 Kia Sedona. I was very concerned that I would not be able to get back to Kirksville, Missouri with the vehicle and would incur an extreme expense due to the problem. To my relief, your team along with ASAP Rebuilders had my vehicle up and running the next day at a reasonable cost.
I just wanted to thank you for the exceptional work on my behalf!"
Sincerely,
Jim Nugent
Kirksville, MO

"We would like to Thank You for the wonderful way you treated us getting the U-haul truck fixed and letting us use the rental car to go get breakfast, then getting us on our way back to Ohio.
You are the kind of person and run a business that makes the world a much better place."
Thank you so very much.
Richard, Kathy and Bryan Estes

"What a relief it is to know that when I take my car to this shop, not only will they be able to diagnose the problem, but they will charge me a surprisingly fair rate. I can't remember how many times I've replied, "That's all?!" in response to my question, "How much do I owe you?". To have a local shop you can trust and depend on means so much."

"Don't let this happen to you. I was lucky I was not hurt. I thought to myself there is only one towing company that could get me out of this predicament. Bledsoe's Automotive Services and Towing. Great Job Bledsoe!"

Bledsoe's Towing & Automotive History 

Starting with the original grand opening of the Camden Shell Service station in 1964, Bledsoe's has been the center of activity and a long-standing community business. Folks of this small hometown lake community can tell you stories of spending their time after school working on their vehicles with the use of tools and the lifts at Bledsoe's. Their descriptions of fondly remembered activities are centered around this community hub and bring you to the belief that there are businesses that still truly care. Some residences will tell you stories of how Bledsoe's was there when they needed a tow in their time of need. Whatever the story, they all have described more than just a service station.

Bledsoe's Timeline

• Original opening: Kenny Bledsoe and Charles Anderson, Founders in 1964

• In 1977, Jim Dulle and Kenny Bledsoe became partners in Super Muff Exhaust which shared the facilities at the present location.

• Around 1982, Kenny Bledsoe and Jim Dulle became partners in Bledsoe's and Super Muff.

• In 1990, Kenny Bledsoe sold his interest to his son John (Pug) Bledsoe. And now, Jim Dulle and Pug Bledsoe run the present day Bledsoe Automotive Service.

Caring For Your Car Through the Winter

There have been many signs that spring is around the corner, but winter is still threatening us with chilly temperatures and vague hints of snow. If you haven't taken precautionary methods to protecting your car from the cold elements, now is the time to do so. The harsh weather and chemicals used to clean up snow and ice can take a toll on your vehicle. Use these easy tips to keep your car in great condition, and ready to cruise in the spring!

Conserve Your Battery

Your battery will take a hard hit through the winter months, and the cold air will cause it to reduce it's cranking power. In fact, a battery at 0° has only half the cranking power of a battery in 80° weather. It's important to check the levels of your battery, and if this isn't something you know how to do, bring it out to Bledsoe's Towing & Automotive. A few things to keep in mind as you are considering whether to get a new battery or not, is if it's more than five years old, and start to show signs of weakness, it's time to get a new car battery at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Care For Your Windshield Wipers

Winter can be especially hard on your windshield wipers. From the ice, snow, rain, and freezing temperatures, there are many reasons to replace them. In fact, you may need to replace your windshield wipers more than you ever thought. They recommend that you replace them at least 2 times per year, and if you see streaking or unclear spots on your window, that's a sure sign that you need new blades.  We can help you with this, and show you which blades will be the best for your vehicle.

Clear Your Windows

If you keep your car outside, it's always a good practice to either scrape your windows off in the morning or go out ten minutes early and turn the defrost on. You never want to run your blades over an ice or frost covered windshield. Some cars don't have heaters in the side mirrors, so you may also need to remember to scrape those off as well.

Check the Oil

Cold weather can cause motor oil to thicken, which can put a strain on your engine. It's important to bring your car out to Bledsoe's and get the oil checked. While your car is in the shop, you can also ask us to check out your radiator and heater hoses for cracks, leaks or contamination.

Consider New Tires

Sliding across snow and ending up in a ditch isn't the best way to find out that your tires are worn out and you need new ones. Bring your car over and we can take a look at them to find out if they are still good to go for more miles, or if it's time to retire them and get new ones.

Best Automotive at the Lake of the Ozarks

Since 1964, Bledsoe's Automotive and Towing has been providing quality auto service to the Lake of the Ozarks. We can care for your vehicle in our shop, helping you maintain it, and keep it in working order. We can also come out and give you a tow or even get your keys out of your car! Give us a call today at 573-346-7050 for ALL of your automotive needs!
