The shop in the old church.
Forty-eight years of German repair on SE Stark St — still locally owned, still doing it by hand.
Our Story
Back in 1978, Bill Trafton converted an old church building into Portland's best German auto repair shop. The soul of the building has remained the same for decades — and so has our appreciation for Volkswagen, Porsche and Audi cars.
Through 48 years of hard work, Trafton's has kept the soul of this old church intact while becoming the most trusted name for German repair in Portland and Gresham, Oregon.
