Check out the following Auto Bears. These bears have been found throughout
Southern California, thanks in large part to the fantastic sleuthing of
Georg Balandran.
Below are a few Bolles Bear Service Inc. bears found around town.

This roadside bear for Boulevard Brakes looks rather lonely as
he smiles at the cars that pass by this corner. For some reason, he appears
to be rather detached from the sign itself.

Check out Vodie's in Santa Ana. He's a rather pink looking fellow.

This bear sign contains just an image of the bear. Not sure what happened
to the real bear figurine. This one says Brake Services.

This roadside bear sits near the Modern Day Auto service center.
It's good to see these familiar bear sign last through the 21st century.
Not sure how many of these still grace the roadside these days.

I can vouch first hand that the owner is very friendly and has taken very
good care of this bear sign.

Check out this vintage sign for the Bear Wheel in Corona,
CA. This golden bear looks rather proud of his place on this sign and
the paint looked recently redone.
