COMPANY
HISTORY
In 1924, Norman L. Bergey opened an automobile
repair shop in picturesque Franconia, Pennsylvania. Using a businessman's savvy
and a gentleman's code, he founded the Bergey way of doing
business.
From the very start, Norman
established a method of treating customers that was based on the Golden Rule --
everyone who walked through the door was treated the way he wanted
to be treated. Over 80 years later, with 30 divisions and more than 700
employees, we honor our founder's business philosophy every
day.
Today our family of automobile,
truck and tire companies stretch into eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. We're confident that whichever location you visit, you'll discover why we're
known as "a most trusted name since 1924."
