About Us

Our Long Island story began way-back in 1962 with our founder, Joseph C. Buzzetta. Joe, as he’s known by his friends and family, was a car nut born and raised on the Island, who worked in all aspects of the car business starting as a kid washing and polishing cars, and later, at the age of 18, was already selling cars at one of the dealers located in his hometown of Huntington. After serving in the military abroad, Joe returned to New York and worked for a time in his family’s restaurant, the Bella Vista, then located in Centerport, NY. But automotive was his first love, and he soon found a way to gather the resources to open up an auto service shop with his good friend Oscar Rubio on Smithtown Blvd in Nesconset. As the years went by, Joe was able to procure other franchises as well as our Mercedes-Benz franchises and moved his shop, now a dealership, up to Route 25. Over the years, Joe’s progeny, Joe Jr., Jim, and Nancy have all joined him in the business and the family was able to add additional brands to their to the family business. Deeply rooted in the Long Island community, the entire family resides local to the stores and strongly believes in giving back and reinvesting in the community. Some of the organizations that are close to their hearts are St. Charles Hospital, Alternatives for Children, Paws of War, Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, LI 2 Day Breast Cancer Walk, Ward Melville Heritage Organization, Celebrate St. James, Smithtown Children’s Foundation, and many others.
