Our story
The patriarch of our business, Peter Parrotta, got his start by repairing Fiat’s, Alfa Romeo’s, Saab’s and Volvo’s in the 1970’s. Then, beginning in 1984 at the age of 14, Peter’s eldest son Bruno began on a quest to be able to diagnose and repair all of the rest vehicles on the road so no customer would EVER have to go to the dealer for anything. Seeking that mission, Bruno began training every month by putting 110% effort into each and every car that’s pulled into the garage’s bay. Bruno excitedly studied each aspect of these vehicle so as to master them all. Bruno’s ambition has driven him to learn about each car line’s history and to acquire each factory tool so as to be able to access anything, including being a registered automotive locksmith so even the vehicles security wouldn’t be an obstacle. After honing his own skills, the next big mission was acquiring the correct men to help with the work. Over the years, the Parrotta’s have found an incredible group of men that come from a variety of backgrounds and offer a wide array of knowledge and skills to the business’s repertoire. Bonded by a deep, mutual passion for automobiles, the team produces great and hard-earned work fixing Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Jaguars, Land Rover, Lexus, Toyota, Saab, and Volkswagen vehicles, just to name a few! Parrotta’s journey towards auto-repair perfection continues every month– so stop by and let the gang show you what over 48 years of hard work looks like!

Bruno Parrotta
Named after his grandfather, Bruno is the oldest son of Peter and Linda, the business’ original founders. As a young child, Bruno always had a passion for fixing things and began coming down to the shop after school at age 14. After graduating from Cathedral High School in Springfield in 1987, Bruno joined his father at Parrotta’s Auto Service as a full time mechanic.
Bruno enjoys the diagnostics side of vehicle repairs. Where others would give up he tends to continue on until he has an answer. This goes from mechanical diagnostics to online, hexadecimal, and computer diagnostics. Bruno’s tools include include: factory level scan tools for Acura, Audi, Bmw, Cadillac, all General Motors Products, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Lincoln, Mercedes Benz, Mini-Cooper, Plymouth, Saab, Toyota, Volvo, and Volkswagen. This means that he can diagnose and reprogram any control unit in a vehicle, as well as program keys for said vehicle. These tools have taken him a lifetime to acquire and he knows all the tools intimately. In addition Bruno has access to a nearly limitless database of information.
After 40 years, Bruno’s passion still grows with the automotive world, always expanding and evolving his knowledge and equipment to keep up with this ever changing field of automobile diagnostics and repairs. He views repairing motor-vehicles as a privilege, not a job.
Bruno is the shop’s diagnostician and manages all the techs on the repair floor.
Peter & Linda Parrotta
Peter Parrotta was born in Italy in 1940 and worked there as an automobile apprentice at the age of 14. He started out by cleaning tools, keeping the shop clean and watching his mentor work. After a time, he was allowed to do simple tasks such as gap spark plugs. Over the years as he proved himself, he earned the privilege to move on to larger tasks until he became a respected mechanic.
Peter came to the United States in 1968, met and married Linda Melloni, his lovely wife. With the help of his new bride and her family, he opened Parrotta’s Auto in 1975. Peter began working on Fiat, Triumph, Saab, Volvo and Audi cars and has expanded to repair most all imports and domestic cars and trucks.
Linda Parrotta, Peter’s wife and mother to their son Bruno is the mother hen of the team. Since Parrotta’s Auto opened over 38 years ago, Linda has been doing the bookkeeping. She is also the person responsible for the festive decorations in the windows and the beautiful landscaping.
