Since Gene Buckley, a championship racer and Firestone regional manager, first opened our doors on July 6, 1966, our mission has been to provide honest, reliable auto care. Now, under the ownership of Greg Buckley, representing three generations of family dedication, that commitment holds stronger than ever.

We've partnered with trusted providers to bring you convenient payment plans that fit your budget. These options allow you to spread the cost of your auto repairs over time, often with competitive interest rates or special promotional periods. Whether you need new tire repair or replacement, an urgent A/C fix before summer, or complex diagnostics for a persistent check engine light, our financing plans are here to help. We're a NAPA Auto Care Center, which means not only do we uphold the highest standards of service, but many of our repairs are backed by a 3-year / 36,000-mile nationwide warranty, giving you even greater confidence in your investment.
