The Barbera family credits their parents with instilling the Barbera Culture of Hospitality, Family Values and Work Ethic.

Their father, Eugene Barbera planted the automotive seed through his business, Palm Auto, a carwash, gas station, auto repair and body shop center located in Fishtown before it bloomed into the sprawling area it is today. The Barbera family would work for their father as children inspired by their father's work ethic and client satisfaction standards.
