Our History
Back in the late 1940’s, Pete Elenbaas was struggling to make ends meet as a farmer, so he started towing vehicles on the side to supplement his income. In the early 1950’s the towing jobs were plentiful, but the abandoned vehicles were edging out a plot of beans! Pete registered with the state of Michigan in 1956 and started selling parts off of vehicles. Pete loved the salvage business and the towing business, and shared that love with his son Ron.
Ron Elenbaas came of age pulling people out of ditches, working in the family business of towing and auto parts. But his heart was always really in the auto parts. After purchasing the business from his dad Pete, Ron closed down the towing operation to focus on recycled auto parts. He invested in the latest technology and expanded the business by purchasing low-mileage vehicles and getting involved in the state and national trade associations, evolving the business with the help of his peers.
Pete and Ron passed on their love of the automotive industry to their children and grandchildren. Amber (Elenbaas) Kendrick purchased Pete’s Auto Parts in 2016 and has been enjoying growing the business her grandfather and father built. Pete’s Auto Parts is proud to be a 3rd generation small business.
