Our story began way back on July 6, 1966, when Gene Buckley, a championship racer and former Firestone regional manager, opened the doors to Buckley's Auto Care. He poured his passion for vehicles and his commitment to integrity into every repair, setting a standard that we uphold to this very day. Now, under the ownership of Greg Buckley, we continue that legacy, proudly representing three generations of family ownership.
