It all started with Gene Buckley, a man with gasoline in his veins and a passion for precision. Not only was Gene a local racer, but he also brought his extensive experience as a regional manager for Firestone to the burgeoning auto repair scene in Delaware. He founded Buckley's Auto Care with a clear vision: to provide exceptional service that drivers could truly depend on. Today, that legacy is proudly carried forward by his grandson, Greg Buckley, marking three generations of dedicated family ownership.

We're incredibly excited to be celebrating 60 years of service in 2026, a testament to the trust and loyalty of our wonderful community.
