Why Come To Us?

Ocello's Automotive Center was established in 1964 as Peter Ocello's Service Center In New York as a gasoline retail facility with service bays. Purchased by Peter Ocello Sr. and Peter Ocello Jr. it was run sucessfully, doubling in volume several times over the next twenty years. In 1980, The Ocello family re-located to Coral Springs, Florida. We purchased another gasoline retail facility with service bays. Again it was run successfully for another 10 years, doubling its volume.    

Our recipe for success is simple: Take care of your clientele, provide abundant service, be honest and continue to strive for excellence.

We have found that following these simple principles will continue to support our growing families. As our business was doubling its volume, so was our family doubling in size. As the third generation was taught the principles of success, the business continued to grow.

Opening our third gasoline retail facility in Coral Springs Florida, we sold our other locations and focused our efforts on our new growing facility. Quickly outgrowing the three service bays - we formed a partnership between the second and third generations. We purchased the commercial real estate and converted our service bays to grocery sales. We then began construction of our new eight bay service facility. We signed a twenty-year land lease and opened the doors twelve years ago. We grew, we applied our principles and even in today's economy we are continuing grow. We converted our land lease eighteen months ago to a purchase option. We currently own both the land and building that make up Ocello's Automotive Center.

We are hard working, honest people. This year the second generation sold the gas/grocery location. They saw their hard work payoff as they closed the sale and retired. As we, the third generation, continue to grow and change as we have for the last forty seven years, we apply the same work ethic our family has taught us.

The relationship we have with our customers is key. It's important for us to get to know you and your families personally so we can meet your specific needs. If ever you have a question or concern, don't hesitate to ask for me personally. Thanks for your business, and years of continued support!
