The company’s roots can be traced back to 2015, when Yifei Teng, an international student at the University of Illinois, recognized that many of his fellow visiting scholars were struggling to go through the complicated process of purchasing a vehicle. Yifei used his knowledge of the automobile buying process to help his fellow colleagues and soon became the “go to guy” for everything automotive.
Yifei’s knowledge and interest in the automotive community soon led him to meet other students who shared his passion. The three each shared an interest in everything automotive and each brought the unique skillsets necessary to create a functioning enterprise. The three students created “Auto Club,” a small business devoted to addressing the automotive needs of students at the University of Illinois, particularly those related to the purchase of vehicles. Due to its close relationship with its clients, Auto Club had the opportunity of identifying the needs of the Urbana-Champaign market. When volumes of Auto Club’s customers expressed concern over existing options for auto detailing services, Auto Club saw an opportunity. Auto Club opened its Detailing Center on 2602 Mattis Avenue Champaign in order to provide its existing customers, as well as the residents of Urbana-Champaign with affordable, quality and trustworthy automotive detailing services. To this day Auto Club strives to provide the best experience possible for its customers and ensure that their automotive needs are fully met. Auto Club takes pride in its service and hopes that it can serve its customers for many years to come.
