Red's Auto Parts is a third generation salvage business. It was started by Sam Gallay in Wood River in 1946 as a scrap iron business when his son Alfred returned home from military service. Alfred then moved to a new location in Wood River and focused on auto salvage. In 1952, Al purchased 13 acres in Cottage Hills and relocated the business where it remains in operation today by his son, Eric.

Red's Auto Parts has always been a front runner in late model auto/truck salvage in the area. Over the years, we introduced an in-house inventory of new parts such as the full line of Dorman Products and continue to supply our customers with new drive train parts, auto and truck glass and new radiators. All parts purchased include a standard 90 Day warranty. Based in Cottage Hills, IL, we offer delivery to our wholesale customers within a 100 mile radius and ship Spee-Dee & UPS daily. Red's Auto Parts also offers a large selection of High Quality USED Tires and Batteries.
