W M Automotive Celebrates 40th Anniversary

Wilson McMillion, owner of W M Automotive, a Fort Worth, Texas-based auto parts distributor, is honoring 40 years in business with 40 years of celebration. The business is a Parts Plus member of the Automotive Distribution Network.

Wilson McMillion opened W M Automotive on Sept. 1, 1976, in a small warehouse on South Main in Ft.

Today, W M Automotive distributes auto parts to Oklahoma and North Texas through a 156,000-square-foot distribution center in south Ft. Worth.

“I believe in family and my customers, and my employees are family,” said McMillion.

Federated Auto Parts Distributors announced it is entering into a collaboration with the Association of Independent Oil Distributors (AIOD) – one it said will focus on mutual benefits for the respective members.

“Federated is constantly looking at ways to improve value for all constituents and this agreement provides that,” said Sue Godschalk, president of Federated. “This collaboration provides added volume and opportunities for our suppliers, new partners for our members, and added supply points and products for shop customers. We have enjoyed working closely with several AIOD members in the past and this agreement will expand and create further opportunities for both Federated and AIOD.”
