Chesterfield Auto Parts was formed in the 1930s on the rural outskirts of Richmond in what was Chesterfield County. In 1947 it was purchased by the family who, after three generations, continues to own and operate it to this day. In the mid-1970s the City annexed portions of the surrounding counties and Chesterfield Auto Parts became part of the City of Richmond. Chesterfield Auto Parts continued to operate as a full-service auto parts store until the late 1980’s when the owner decided to take the company in a new direction. We became one of the first self-service salvage yards in the country. The idea quickly became popular. In 1991 we opened our second location (Fort Lee) in Prince George Virginia and in 2013 we opened our third location (Midlothian) in Chesterfield Virginia.
