About Us
A Local Legacy Since 1934
Clackamas Auto Parts has been a cornerstone of Oregon City’s automotive community for nearly a century. Family-owned and operated since 1934, we’ve built our reputation on reliable service, knowledgeable support, and a genuine commitment to our customers.
Our experienced staff—many of whom have been with us for decades—offer a level of expertise that’s hard to find in big-box parts stores. We take pride in our old-school values and neighborly service, whether you’re a professional installer or just getting your hands dirty for the first time.
We’re also home to one of the last remaining full-service automotive machine shops in the region—a vital resource for the DIY and professional community alike.
In 1944, construction started on a new building one block south on Main Street, and the company was in its new location by the spring of 1945. The location is still the home of our auto parts store today.
William guided the growth and operations of the company until he died in 1963. At this point, ownership and operations of the company were taken over by William’s wife, Hilda Trappe, his sons Norm and Bill, and long-time employee Bud Hornshuh. Hilda remained very active in the company until 1989 when she retired from her bookkeeping duties at the age of 90. By the early 1990s, Norm, Bill, and Bud had all retired from their active daily duties, and the company was ready for a third generation of ownership.
In 1991, Art Kirchhofer and Dan Trappe were brought in as partners and now run the business’s daily operations.
