The Barbera Culture is rooted in the belief that "Business Comes Where It is Invited and Stays where It is Well Treated". The Barbera organization hires hospitality and trains talent, instilling within every single employee the philosophy of guest hospitality, consistent service, and gratefulness for the client's most precious gift of their precious time. Their proudest moments are when they are welcoming back families who have purchased 9-10 cars, and who send their friends and family. The biggest compliment is the wonderful, thoughtful gift of a referral of family and friends.
The Barbera family credits their parents with instilling the Barbera Culture of Hospitality, Family Values, and Work Ethic. Their mother, Rita Barbera—known to all as "Lovely Rita"—was kind, socially conscience, and valued family and hardwork. 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. Their dad said, "Hard work never hurt anyone, but aggravation sure will kill you."
Honored to be recognized with The Family Owned Business Award for dual accolades—Gary Barbera's on the Boulevard was recognized for positively impacting their communities economically and BarberaCares was recognized for their Community Service Excellence.
