Our History

Cunningham Brothers Auto Parts has been serving their customers with quality recycled automotive parts since 1981. With the help of their mother, the three Cunningham brothers opened their first location in Rustburg, Va. The company grew quickly, and they purchased their second full service location, Old Dominion Auto Salvage in Roanoke in 1986. Wanting a larger foot print in Virginia, they purchased their third full-service location, Action Auto Parts, in 1994. Innovative Automotive Solutions was established in 1999 to help handle the retail sales of the repairable vehicles.
