A Legacy of Trust and Expertise, Right Near Newport
Our story began on July 6, 1966, when Gene Buckley, a championship racer and former Firestone regional manager, opened the doors to his own auto repair shop. His vision was simple: provide top-notch automotive service with an unwavering commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Today, his grandson, Greg Buckley, proudly carries on that legacy, ensuring that the principles Gene established over half a century ago remain the cornerstone of our business. In fact, we're thrilled to be celebrating 60 years of service to the Delaware community in 2026!
