Our Story:

Generations of The Porcelli Family Supporting

Our Community

40 years ago Richard Porcelli began his journey in the automotive industry with a simple goal: to provide honest, high-quality service to his community. Since then, he has dedicated his life to not only repairing and selling vehicles, but also advocating for the rights of independent auto shops at both the local and national levels.


Porcelli’s Auto Center has grown into a trusted, family-run business built on those same values of

 integrity, craftsmanship, and community.


Porcelli’s Auto Center remains a proud, family-run business — and you may even spot Richard’s wife of nearly 50 years, Rosemary Porcelli, their daughter Heather, or one of the grandchildren lending a hand around the shop! Today, that legacy continues with his son, Rich Porcelli Jr., stepping in to lead the next generation, bringing new ideas and energy while staying true to the family’s mission of putting people first.


At Porcelli’s, we truly consider our customers an extension of our family — and we’re honored to do our job keeping your family safe and on the road.

    Important Notice About Insurance Providers

    You Have the Right to Choose Your Repair Shop!


    Did you know you can have your car repaired at any auto body shop you trust? Don’t let insurance companies pressure you into using their “preferred shops” — it's your vehicle and your choice. Sometimes insurers steer customers toward shops that prioritize cost-cutting over quality.


     At Porcelli’s, we put your safety and satisfaction first. If you ever feel unsure or pressured, give us a call — we’re always here to help and protect your rights as a consumer.

  • How long will it take to repair my vehicle?

    One of the first questions we often hear is, “How long will it take?” And we get it — being without your car can be a big disruption. At Porcelli’s Auto Center, our goal is to get your vehicle repaired and back to you as soon as possible, without ever compromising on quality or safety. When you drop off your car, we’ll work quickly to assess the damage, coordinate with your insurance company, and give you an estimated completion date so you know what to expect from the start.


    Keep in mind that some things — like waiting for parts, hidden damage that’s only visible once repairs begin, or insurance approval delays — can affect the timeline. But don’t worry, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.


    How Can you Stay In The Loop? 

    You can check your vehicle’s repair status anytime by clicking “Repair Status” right here on our website. And if you’ve opted in for text or email updates, we’ll send you automatic notifications to let you know exactly where your car is in the process. At Porcelli’s, we’re not just here to fix your car — we’re here to make the experience clear, smooth, and worry-free.

  • How much will it cost to repair my vehicle?

    Every repair is a little different, so the first step is to write a detailed estimate based on the damage to your vehicle. Once we assess the repairs needed, we’ll go over the estimate with you and, if you’re using insurance, we’ll work directly with your provider to get everything approved. You’ll always be kept in the loop — we believe in clear, honest communication from start to finish.


    If you're going through insurance, your out-of-pocket cost is typically just your insurance deductible — the amount set by your policy. If you're paying out-of-pocket or have limited coverage, don't worry. At Porcelli’s, we understand that unexpected repairs can be stressful, and we’ll do our best to work with you to find a solution that fits your budget while still delivering high-quality, safe repairs.


    Just ask — we’re here to help. We’re always happy to answer your questions and walk you through your options so you feel confident every step of the way.

  • Do I have to use my auto-insurance if I have it?

    Not necessarily! At Porcelli’s Auto Center, we understand that filing an insurance claim isn't always the best option for every situation. In fact, many of our customers choose to pay out of pocket for minor repairs to avoid potential increases in their insurance premiums.​


    Research shows that even a single claim can lead to higher rates or the loss of a safe-driver discount, and those premium increases can stick around for years. That’s why for minor damage — like a scratched bumper or small dent — it’s often more cost-effective in the long run to pay for the repair yourself rather than go through your insurance.

    At Porcelli’s, we’re here to help you make the best decision for your situation. We offer free estimates and will walk you through the pros and cons of filing a claim versus paying out of pocket. Our goal is to provide high-quality repairs that fit your budget and keep your insurance costs in check.​


    Need guidance? Stop by or give us a call. We’re always happy to discuss your options and help you choose the path that’s right for you.

  • Do you help with rental cars if I need one?
