Briganti’s Automotive Services

About Us

Briganti's Automotive was started by Mel Briganti on September 11, 1989. Our shop has always been ahead of the game and on the cutting edge of the automotive industry, constanly making changes to improve our customers' experience. If we need tools, we get them or in need of training, we get it. We throughly check every vehicle that comes into our shop because we care about the safety of our customers and everyone driving on the road. Our customers then feel knowledgable too, they have the information and can make their own decision how to proceed. We use the best parts that we can buy because we are a AAA Approved Repair Shop. In 2019 we scored #5 out of 560 shops in the AAA Top Shops list. AAA has not yet done another "top shop study" since the pandemic.
