Our Story

Long's Auto Place has proudly served the Twin Cities since 1981 and is now under third-generation ownership. Our roots trace back to the Long family dealerships, including Long Cadillac, Chevrolet, Ford, Mazda, and Mercedes. Today, Long's Auto Place proudly carries on that legacy as the last remaining Long dealership. For more than four decades, we've remained committed to offering carefully selected, quality pre-owned vehicles with honest, transparent pricing and a customer-first buying experience. Our reputation has been built one customer at a time through integrity, quality, and treating every customer like family.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: provide the highest quality pre-owned vehicles at fair, market-based prices while delivering an honest, pressure-free buying experience. Every vehicle is hand-selected, independently inspected, serviced, professionally reconditioned, and backed by a complimentary warranty so you can buy with confidence. We believe transparency creates trust, which is why we operate with straightforward, no-haggle pricing. Every customer receives our best price from the very beginning - no negotiating, no hidden fees, and no surprises. Our goal isn't simply to sell vehicles. It's to earn customers for life by providing exceptional service before, during, and long after the sale. Whether you're from White Bear Lake, the Twin Cities, or traveling from across the country, we're committed to making your experience easy, enjoyable, and worthy of your recommendation.

"Kirk did a great job helping me with my purchase of my Chrysler Town & Country. Very sound advice with absolutely no pressure. Justin Long did the paperwork. Everything was done in an upfront and honest manner and very quickly, I might add. I will recommend them to everyone I know in need of their services. They're definitely not like most of the industry. Great experience!"

"I had an issue with my previous car and was left without one to get to work. Luckily, I passed by Long's Auto one day, stopped in, and was greeted by the nicest, most co-operative staff around. They worked with me and was able to get me a deal with another car! I am grateful. Thank you!"

"My son bought a truck with Kirk a few weeks ago. Had an excellent experience at the dealership. He took the time to really educate him on what's involved in buying a vehicle. More importantly the truck unfortunately had a problem yesterday not covered with their 30-day drivetrain warranty but after speaking with them they apologized profusely and paid for the entire repair themselves. One they had no contractual obligation for. This isn't your typical kind of shady Mom and pop small dealership. These guys are really above board and would not be surprised if I buy my next used vehicle there."
