Founded in 1953 by Bill Buerkle, Buerkle Company consists of three full-service automotive dealerships located in the Twin Cities; Buerkle Acura, Buerkle Honda, and Buerkle Huyndai. Each location also sells safe and reliable Pre-Owned vehicles, and each operates finance departments and dealer-trained automotive service and repair departments.  The White Bear Lake location also has a full-service Collision Center to repair and restore all makes and models.

In 1953 Bill Buerkle purchased Fairmont Buick in Fairmont, Minnesota, located at 112 North Main Street. Mr.Buerkle's competitors from that era are long gone, including Meek-Winquist, Inc. selling Pontiacs; Gimm Motors, Inc. selling Chrysler and Plymouth cars; Motor Inn Chevrolet; Reco Motors selling Hudsons and Willys Jeeps; Beyers Lincoln Mercury; Pannkuk Nash; Inc., Forstroms Onestop selling Oldsmobiles; Haskins Motor Company; Park Motor Company selling Fords; and Reed Motors selling Studebakers.

In 1957, Buerkle sold his dealership in Fairmont and acquired St. Paul Buick, which became Buerkle Buick. In 1969, Mr. Buerkle moved the franchise to White Bear Lake. In 1973, he added a Honda franchise, and in 1986 opened Buerkle Acura in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. Bill Buerkle passed away in 2001 at the age of 80. In May 2006 the Buick franchise was sold and Buerkle Automotive acquired the Hyundai franchise. Bill and his wife had two children, Dave Buerkle and Mary Buerkle, who own and operate Buerkle company today.
