Since 1956, Arnone’s Car Care Center has offered complete car repair services to their Northeast neighbors.


Founded by Phil Arnone and his brother Mike, their first station was located at Independence and Woodland Avenues and offered Standard Oil gasoline in addition to car repair services.


In 1965, they moved to a newer, modern location a few blocks away, changing their address to 702 Paseo and their gasoline products to Phillips 66.  


The new location at Admiral and Paseo boulevards saw a lot of business from travelers staying at the nearby Capri Motel, Ramada Inn, and Admiral Motel.


As Phil got closer to retirement, his sons Steve and Paul came on board to learn the family business, offering the same personalized, quality service as the neighborhood around them slowly changed.


In July 2019, Arnone’s moved again, just a few blocks away, to a new facility on 8th St. to concentrate on what they do best, personalized car repairs. 
Inside the new location, customers may relax in a clean, comfortable lounge, enjoy a cup of coffee or cold drink, and visit with Alley Cat, a feline friend that appeared shortly after they moved.


“Come see our new location as we enter a new era for our business,” said Steve Arnone.


Arnone’s Car Care Center is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Call 471-8560 to make an appointment or visit their website at www.arnonescarcarecenter.business.site.
