History

Established in 1974.

E & L Service was founded in the late 1960’s by Earnest and Lucille Ridge. They purchased a Gulf gas station franchise on 9 mile and Ryan Rd. in Warren Michigan.

By 1974 they moved their residence to Lapeer Michigan. Tired of the commute they purchased George and Bearnice Boron’s station here in Lapeer. The name was changed to E & L Boron. E & L Boron was a gas station and two-​bay service station with seven tow trucks servicing Lapeer and the surrounding area.

In 1980, the current building was constructed at 920 DeMille Rd. and became E & L Service Inc., Towing and Repair. in 1991, Ron McDougall entered an agreement to purchase E & L Service Inc. and became the company President. Ron is a member of the Michigan Towing Association where he was an active Board of Director for over four years. Ron also is a Lapeer Optimist member as-​well-​as an Alumni of Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity, Delta Tau Chapter.
