Keep reading to learn about the history of the Cooper Auto Group and why we’re committed to upholding the values that have been at the core of our business from day one.
Our Beginnings
Claude Cooper was well-known as the best mechanic in Canadian County. As a way to expand his horizons, Claude bought the Yukon Oldsmobile dealership from the local funeral home director (who had been performing funerals and selling cars out of the same building!) and began his career in the automotive sales business.
The Story Continues
After Claude suffered a heat stroke while repairing a customer’s vehicle in the hot Oklahoma sun, his son, Jackie Cooper, took over the dealership. Later, 21-year-old Jackie was approved to be the official Oldsmobile dealer for Yukon, becoming the youngest new car dealer ever recognized by a major automotive company. Now, after years of successful operation, the Cooper Auto Group is in the hands of Jackie’s son, Joe Cooper.
Commitment to Values
Many things have changed for the Cooper family over the years, but one thing hasn’t changed: our dedication to upholding the values exemplified by Claude and Jackie. These values are simple: be honest, value relationships, earn and keep the trust of our customers, treat people like we want to be treated and be easy to do business with. We’re human, and we make mistakes, but we promise to always make it right for our customers. The Oklahoma City area has trusted our family of dealerships since 1946, and we intend to always do business in a way that is worthy of that trust.
