Early Saturday morning, Imported Auto Center and the DiBernardo family lost our dear father and patriarch, Luigi, after a long illness. We are heartbroken and devastated by this profound loss, as he was a true pioneer and trailblazer for the independently run foreign car repair service industry. Luigi built this business from the ground up, and demanded excellence in every aspect of the business. He was a staple in the Glastonbury community and beyond its borders. His knowledge and skill level in repairing some of the world's most intricate automobiles was unprecedented. His reputation as a master of his craft quickly became well known in town and beyond after opening the business in 1981. Today, and every day, we continue to strive to meet and exceed his expectations in customer service and automotive repairs and diagnostics, and follow his principles, ethics, and vision on a daily basis. For those of you who knew him and have reached out, thank you for all the kind words and support you have shown our family over these last couple of days. It truly means more than you know, and we are forever grateful to all of you, his clients, past, present and future.
