Here’s a press release about the new owners at Lynden Lube & Auto:

Rob and Cheryl Heerspink, lifelong Lynden residents, recently acquired Lynden Lube & Auto, which provides complete maintenance and repair services for cars and light-duty trucks.

The Heerspinks, both born in Lynden, jumped at the opportunity to buy an established business while maintaining a skilled and experienced staff.

“We’ve appreciated being served by locally owned businesses and will continue offering a high level of customer service here,” said Rob Heerspink, who is managing the business.

Lynden Lube & Auto offers a 15-minute lube and oil change on a first-come, first-served basis. The service by technicians Ken Marshall, Randy Schuyleman and Devon DeBoer includes a 24-point inspection of fluid levels, hoses, belts, tire pressure and air filter, plus vacuuming the interior and cleaning windows.

 Experienced mechanics Brett Camping (12 years) and Chad Vander Yacht (six years) handle repairs and other service tasks, including tune-ups, brakes, cooling systems, alternators, starters and winterizing.

 Lynden Lube & Auto is open at 8181 Guide Meridian, just a half-block south of Front Street, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. For more information or appointments, call (360) 354-7698.
