About Chieftain Auto Parts

"The Parts People"

Serving Prince George for Over 50 Years

Our History

Chieftain Auto Parts was established in 1973 by our parents Eileen & Peter Heinze. It was the first Automotive Aftermarket Store in Prince George with 4 employees. Today our family business has reached the second generation Jayne & Trevor and third generation Spencer with a team of 36. We have grown and adapted over the years with our priority focusing on the needs and wants of our customers.

In 1995, in order to excel and expand in the always changing and competitive marketplace, we joined the Modern Sales Co-op buying group. As a result, we have been able to diversify our business and provide better access to a wide base of brand name products from across Canada and the USA.
