Rocco’s Automotive & Fast Lube Story…….

So you want to know where it all began?  It all started when I began working for Herb in 1999 at Colberg Bros. Custom Automotive.  It was awesome, we were busy, life was good andI was working under the hands of a genius.  I was still a little wet behind the ears, never wrenching as a profession prior to Herbie, but on the road to a world of knowledge.  Herb is known, to all who know me, as my dad.  We hit it off right from the start andran with it.  Not too long after, dad had his 6th heart attack and his health was declining.  Something wasn’t right, he was up and down, everyday was unpredictable.  Time goes by and Herb is diagnosed with renal disease andgoes on dialysis 3 days a week at 5 hours a pop.  That pretty much paralyzed him as a mechanic not being able to turn a wrench.  So he came to me with an option, either he loses the business and I lose my job, or I take it over.  By now I bet you guessed that I took it over.  So, from June 01, 2001 it became Rocco’s Automotive, INC.  and for 6 years it stayed that way.  Herb’s health was getting better and he started wrenching again, andthings were good.  But our business just never seemed to grow enough, come to findout by now it was just the location.  Tucked in the middle of a business park with no exposure to the public we were getting by solely on referrals and repeat customers.  When we saw the lube shop on Santa Fe up for lease, our wheels started turning, thinking what if?  As of April 26, 2006 we became Rocco’s Automotive & FAST LUBE.  Having the exposure of Santa Fe traffic and the general public walking in our door opened up all kinds of possibilities for us.  More and more people were finding out everyday how we operate and conduct our business, and in turn we grew.  3 employees to 7 in 1 year.  Thanks to a great staff who take pride in their work and loyal customers who take pride in their vehicles, our customer base has multiplied by 3 in the 1st year and 4 in the 2nd year.  Join us and help us grow again in our 3rd year.

 New York Auto Show Preview: Acura TSX Sport Wagon

Arnd Wiegmann/Reuters

The Acura TSX Sport Wagon will be based on the European Honda Accord Tourer. 

This one was displayed at the 2008 Geneva auto show.

Finally! Acura will introduce its handsome TSX Sport Wagon at the New York auto show at the end of March, the company announced Monday. The all-new wagon will go on sale in the fall as a 2011 model, Acura said, confirming its announcement last October.

The Sport Wagon is based on the European Honda Accord Tourer (not to be confused with the United States-spec Accord Crosstour). Acura is holding Sport Wagon details close to the vest, including engine options, though it’s a good bet that it will be available with the engines that are currently available in the TSX: a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder and a 3.5-liter V-6. In Europe, the wagon comes with diesel options, but Honda does not sell diesel engines in the United States.

While popular in Europe, wagons have been pretty much banished from America showrooms, where the crossover is the preferred species du jour. In fact, Ford recently unveiled its Focus wagon at the Geneva auto show, and even though Ford will begin selling its new Focus in the United States early next year, the wagon will be for Europeans only.

Press previews for the New York International Auto Show begin March 31. The show opens to the public on April 3. See autoshowny.com for more details.
