Overview

Bumper to Bumper Auto Parts is described as an American chain of auto part products and repair shops. Its stores operate as Bumper to Bumper Crow Burlingame and provide automotive aftermarket needs, with over 2 million inventory parts for cars, light trucks, heavy duty, recreational, commercial, farm, and agriculture vehicles, plus paint, body and equipment (PB&E), tools, shop equipment, supplies, oils, chemicals and accessories. The operation traces its origins to Little Rock, Arkansas, where Crow-Burlingame Co. was founded as an Arkansas corporation in June 1919 by two friends, William Robert Crow and J.G. Burlingame, as an automobile accessory company.

History

In the spring of 1903, William Robert Crow moved to Little Rock to take a job as a traveling produce salesman. On a train to Conway, Arkansas, he met a fellow named J.G. Burlingame. In 1919, Bob and Judge went to St. Louis and returned with an idea: an accessory business for car dealers. Crow-Burlingame Co. was founded as an Arkansas corporation in June 1919 by two friends as an automobile accessory company. In 1928, the first branch opened in El Dorado, Arkansas, when Crow-Burlingame Co. purchased Service Parts Company. In 1932, CBCo formed a relationship with two other leading regional auto parts companies, the Memphis-based Osborn-Abston Company and the Fort Smith-based The Automotive Company, and the trio was called The Osborn, Crow & Yantis Company, or OYC. In 1943, the Employees Trust Fund was established as the company's retirement program. In 1946, the company opened stores in Arkansas including Heber Springs, Dumas, Benton, England, Asher Avenue, Fordyce, and Nashville, bringing the official store count to 32. The company describes its journey from humble beginnings in Little Rock, Arkansas to one of the largest parts store operations in the country.
