Their proudest moments are when they are welcoming back families who have purchased 9-10 cars and who send their friends and family.

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 car wash, 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. Their dad said, "Hard work never hurt anyone but Aggravation sure will kill you."
