Competition Automotive Group was founded by championship racecar driver, Joe Buzzetta. Buzzetta became friends with a well-known hot-rod mechanic who owned a repair shop in Smithtown and the two decided to go into business together. They became partners on a car dealership made up of 3,000 square feet of space. In 1970, Buzzetta was prompted to open a dealership, with the idea that he would construct a new building on Jericho Turnpike and upgraded to 8,000 square feet. In his late teens, Buzzetta was working at the auto group as a parts truck driver and worked in almost every job except as a mechanic. In the 1980s Buzzetta and his business partner split their partnership and decided to go their separate ways.Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown is an official Mercedes-Benz Dealer located conveniently to better serve our customers in our customers throughout St. James, Nesconset, Hauppauge, and Islandia areas.

Earth day has passed us on April 22, but that does not mean we have to stop celebrating the Earth we live on! By changing a few simple habits, you can help save our planet. According to CarCare News Service, the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) recommends regular vehicle maintenance and better driving habits as two easy-to-implement strategies. Two examples would be to: Keep the engine running at peak performance. A misfiring spark plug can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent. Replace filters and fluids as recommended in the owner’s manual. Don’t ignore that ‘Service Engine’ light. Today’s vehicles have much cleaner tailpipe emissions that they did 30 years ago, but a poorly running engine or faulty exhaust system will cause your vehicle to pollute much more than it would otherwise.
