Did you know that Mopar® started out in 1937 with just a line of antifreeze products? It shifted its focus once the 40s arrived, creating equipment for vehicles to support WWII efforts. The company shifted its focus again after the war ended, opening its Mopar® Part Depot in Michigan in 1953. Since then, its goal has been to provide parts and accessories for a larger audience. Currently, it is a distributor of gear for models built by FIAT-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA).

With well over 500,000 products sold, 34,000 affiliated technicians, and 7,000 employees to its name, Mopar® is now a global leader. It is so successful that it serves more than 150 markets and 20 different countries today. That is why the Lithia team here in Spokane, Washington, can say with confidence that the Mopar® parts and accessories that we carry are a reliable source for you!
