Bill Smith Auto Parts was established in 1929 by Bill Smith.  The original store opened at 106 South Street in Danville with a small store front on a busy street in downtown Danville.  45 years later Bill and his two sons, Phil and Alfred purchased an old coal mine on 25 acres outside of Danville and moved the operation out there.  

In 1978, Phil and Alfred purchased a piece of property in Champaign, Illinois to establish a satellite location.  In 1984 Robert Smith, son of Alfred Smith began the purchase of Bill Smith Auto Parts from his father and his uncle.  

In 1991, Robert moved the Champaign store to a larger location in Urbana where he could offer more rebuilt vehicles to the public and expand the service and body shop operations of the business.  Bill Smith Auto Parts in Urbana new site is located on 5 acres with a 15, 000 square foot building complete with six service bays.  

The success of the business prompted the purchase of another satellite location, this time in Bloomington, Illinois.  The location in Bloomington enjoys 9 acres, a service shop and a busy auto parts store front.   

The latest acquisition involved the purchase of another satellite location in Racine, Wisconsin in 2003.  Partnered with a profitable used auto sales relationship with Racine Auto Exchange, this location sits on 8 acres near the lake and boasts an extremely successful used auto sales business, body shop and used parts operation.   

After over 75 years of service, Bill Smith Auto Parts is still proud to offer quality parts, quality cars and quality service while maintaining competitive pricing and free delivery.  The latest expansions include more scrap auto purchases in all 3 Illinois locations and a thriving Ebay store.
