Company Summary

Thompson Motors began when a group of truckers from the LaCrosse, WI area was so pleased with the work done by Charles Thompson that they persuaded him to open a shop in Wykoff, MN.

In April of 1940 Charlie, his wife Gert and son Dick left LaCrosse and moved to Wykoff to open a repair business. Charlie leased a building and set up shop as a filling station and general service garage. The advent of WWII and gas rationing brought an end to the grain trucks. However, the war created a need for mechanics who could patch vehicles together without new parts, Charlie was good at that.

In 1956 Thompson Motors acquired the International Harvester truck franchise and sold pickups and two-ton trucks. In 1958 Dick, who had worked part-time in the business while going to school, joined the firm full-time after marrying and starting a family. With the sales of new heavy trucks came used trade-ins and then lesser value trade-ins on those that seemed to have more value as parts than as trucks and the second business of truck salvage was born at Thompson Motors. The salvage parts business, as well as the rebuilt parts and service market, had already become a bigger part of the business so it was full steam ahead into these businesses. By 1982 Dick and Judy's sons, Chris and Rod had joined the firm full-time. In 2012, with the passing of Dick, Rod took over as Owner of Thompson Motors.

The sales of new International and Cummins parts used parts from the salvage trucks and components that we rebuild have set us apart from your traditional truck dealership. The building that now houses Thompson Motors was built in 1959 and has had many additions since. The salvage operations have moved to new larger accommodations on the edge of town where we have 10 acres of parts storage and processing facilities.
