Local, friendly, customer focused.
That’s Carlson BP.
For over 40 years, family-owned Carlson BP (a.k.a. Wally Carlson & Sons Auto Center) has served Lindström and the Chisago Lakes Area with high-quality products and services, including BP gasoline, diesel, propane (LPG), vehicle repair services, a touchless car wash, and a convenience store.
Since 1957, when founder Wally Carlson first began hauling Standard Oil bulk fuel to area farmers and businesses, Wally, his sons, and their employees have always put customers first. And ever since the retail store opened in the mid-1970s, Carlson BP has served the local community with top-quality fuels, experienced mechanics – and a friendly smile at the check-out counter.
Carlson BP is the place where “everyone knows your name.” Lindstrom locals, Chisago City, Center City, and Shafer residents, Wisconsin commuters, over-the-road truckers, and everyone heading to or from their cabins off Highway 8 enjoy the same friendly hometown service, all backed by the BP brand.
Carlson BP’s commitment to customer service means you won’t walk away shaking your head, wondering who can help solve your vehicle issues – whether that’s a flat tire, burned out headlight, or a major repair job. They will even pump your gas or help put (free) air in a tire if you need a little extra help!
You can rely on your local Carlson BP for 24/7 gas and diesel (pay at the pump), and convenient hours for vehicle service, propane, car wash, and other needs. Stop in to fill up or pick up whatever you need today. Or just come by to say “hi”!
