Our Story
Backyard Mobile Repair was born out of a simple frustration: too many people were getting stranded, paying for tow trucks, and waiting days just to get their car looked at. Brent Laurent knew there was a better way.
After serving in the military, Brent brought the same discipline, work ethic, and commitment to excellence that defined his service into the world of automotive repair. He started Backyard Mobile Repair with one goal - make quality, honest mechanic work accessible to everyone, right where they are.
Based out of Lakeland, MN, Brent serves a wide area spanning the greater St Paul metro, the St Croix River Valley, and into western Wisconsin. He's shown up in snowstorms, worked into the early hours of the morning, and driven across county lines - because that's what it means to really show up for your community.
No shop overhead, no waiting rooms, no upsells. Just honest work from a guy who cares.
