Sherwood Auto Repair is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, marking four decades since Felix LaPlante first opened the shop in Old Town Sherwood in 1986.



TUALATIN, OR, October 02, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- What began as a small, family-owned repair shop in Sherwood has grown and evolved over the past four decades, eventually making its home in Tualatin. Through the years, Sherwood Auto Repair has remained in the LaPlante family and focused on the same principles that shaped the business from the beginning: trusted service, great people, and lasting relationships with its customers and community.

Today, Sherwood Auto Repair is owned by Felix's son, Scott LaPlante, who has continued the family business into its second generation. That tradition now extends to a third generation, with Scott's son, Alden LaPlante, working as part of the Sherwood Auto Repair team.

To commemorate the milestone, Sherwood Auto Repair is inviting customers, friends, neighbors and members of the community to a 40th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, October 17, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the shop, located at 9965 SW Tualatin-Sherwood Road in Tualatin.

The celebration will feature catering from Koi Fusion, and a bounce house for the kids, making it an afternoon for the whole family.

"Forty years is an incredible milestone for our family and our team," said Scott LaPlante, owner of Sherwood Auto Repair. "We wouldn't be here without the generations of customers who have trusted us with their vehicles, the people who have worked alongside us, and the community that has supported this business over the years. This celebration is really about saying thank you."

Since its founding in 1986, Sherwood Auto Repair has seen tremendous changes in both the automotive industry and the community it serves. Through those changes, the business has remained locally owned and family operated, combining modern automotive technology and expertise with the personal relationships and commitment to service that have been part of the shop since Felix first opened its doors.

The 40th Anniversary Celebration is open to the community.
