"Happy Mother's Day to all of the awesome mom's out there! Mother's Day weekend is a popular time for people to travel down to the shore, and I think our 'Don't Text and Walk' initiative aligns perfectly with our 'Don't Text and Drive' campaign," explained Barbera, founder of the BarberaCares program. "Whether strolling on the boardwalk or walking in the streets, it's important to stay alert and Don't Text and Walk." Barbera Cares so Don't Text and Drive, Don't Text and Walk and Enjoy your summer safely!

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."
