Superior Care Auto Center was formed in 2002, when Superior Electric and Pro Care, two long established businesses (Superior Electric was founded in 1980 and Pro Care in 1984) with over 100 years of combined work experience between the three owners, (Frank, Dominick and Charlie) decided to merge.
Growing up in the muscle car era, Frank has always had an interest in cars. He got into the business in the 1970s; with a desire to own his own garage so that he could have his own space to work, he opened Pro Care. From there he got into drag racing, which he still does in his spare time.
Like many boys, Dominick loved taking things apart and seeing how they worked. An older neighborhood boy took him under his wing and honed his interest. Rather than just disassembling things, he began to learn how to take apart and fix cars. In high school he realized his calling, and when he attended college, he studied related courses, and graduated with an Associates Degree in Applied Science.
When Dominick graduated from college, Frank was already well-established in the car business. Though they grew up in the same neighborhood, it wasn't until a mutual friend introduced them that they met. Dominick started working for Frank, eventually becoming a partner at Pro Care.
By age 13, Charlie was a regular at the repair shops and body shops that his uncles owned. He attended William E. Grady Career and Technical Education High School, studying automotive technology. While in high school, he opened his first shop with his brother and his uncle, specializing in body work. However, he had a knack for electrical work and diagnosing problems; he opened Superior Electric in 1980.
The company originally worked only for dealerships, diagnosing electrical problems that they could not solve. When Superior Electric moved from 16th Street (a block away from where Pro Care was located) to 3rd Avenue, Charlie decided to stop working for dealerships, essentially cutting out the middle man. This way he could deal directly with the public, providing them with honest service at a price that wasn't marked up by someone else.
Since Superior Electric and Pro Care had a symbiotic relationship, rather than continuing to operate two separate businesses in an expensive industry, Frank, Dominick and Charlie decided to merge, allowing their customers to reap the benefits of one company that could meet all of their car care needs.
Aside from the quality service we provide, our customers enjoy the friendly atmosphere of a family business. Our mechanics have been working for us for years, with Frank's son, Jr., following him into the business as one of them; also, Frank's wife, Terry, and Charlie's daughter, Megan both work in the office. And of course, Dominick and Frank have been working together for over 20 years, and have had a long relationship working with Charlie as well. Superior Care Auto Center is able to completely service your car and keep it running in tip-top-shape for years for years to come. Together, we believe that every customer is a special customer, and we will work hard to keep your business.
