Built in a church.
From worship to workmanship.
Back in 1978, Bill Trafton converted an old Portland church into the city's best German auto shop. Decades later the soul of the building is intact — and so is our appreciation for Volkswagen, Porsche and Audi.
We're still locally owned, still factory-trained, and still treating a 50-year-old Bus with the same care as a brand-new Golf R — for drivers across Portland and Gresham.

"They have done pre-purchase inspections on several vehicles for me. Wonderfully detailed and completely honest. You can tell everyone there loves what they do — they love VWs, Porsches and Audis."
