Arthur Panetta's Auto Service

Mr. Panetta and his 2 sons are great. They really like what they are doing, and actually do it on their off hours. They have built parade cars, they recently restored an old Ford tractor, and there is always a new project in the shop. They have the new NY State inspection machine, which is hard to find. Most importantly, they are honest, hard working individuals. They do careful, quality work, and have pride in what they do. They are a rarity in the car repair world.

I've had my vehicle repaired at Arthur Panetta Auto Service a few times. They're located at 70A Bell Street in West Babylon, easy to find. I'm always amazed the way I am greeted by the owner Arty who takes his time chatting with you regarding your vehicle, while his Receptionist is fixing me a cup of coffee. Such a caring and friendly environnment. After going to Arty's place over the years I've learned of the family history. His father, Mr. Panetta had his Auto shop years ago in that same area. His wife would spend all morning cooking for him and all of his employees, not to mention some family who stopped in from time to time. I see now that this family tradition has been carried over to Arty's shop. His Mom cooks wonderful sandwishes hot and cold, and his Dad delivers them to the shop everyday. They even offered me one while Arty worked on my car. I was so pleased with not only the work that was done on my vehicle in a timely fashion, but to experience how this incredible operation works. So wonderful to know there is a place you can still go to get your vehicle repaired the right way the first time, have a cup of coffee and chat awhile.

Artie and his father before him have worked on all the cars in my family over the years. I would never have gone back time and time again if I were not satisfied with the people and work that has been done. Having coffee and a snack is a plus that you would not expect at a repair shop, everything and everyone are very friendly and cordial to both men and women. If something might need to be replaced or repaired Artie makes you aware of the problem and lets you decide when and where to have the work done. His repair rates are reasonable. I cannot heap enough praise on Artie, his employees and his family. I love them all!
