Lou Appel Spares

Lou Appel's Auto Spares, originally "Lou Appel's Motor Graveyard," was founded 90 years ago by Lou Appel on land purchased by his father Max, a blacksmith. Starting with just a small house-turned-office, Lou and mechanic Chris Wessels expanded the facility with a two-story building. After Lou's passing in 1982, his son Raymond took over, later selling to his own son in 2014. The business remains family-owned, now in its third generation.
