Our Story
Fifty Years, One Family
Built in 1975 by an 18-year-old with his name on the door. Still family-run today.
The Beginning
Started By Johnny, At 18
Giovanni "Johnny" Rondinone opened Rondinone's Automotive in 1975 at just 18 years old. Over the decades, that single shop grew into a full-spectrum operation — heavy duty truck service, collision repair, custom truck builds, and tires — all serving the Greater Hartford area he grew up in.
Following John's passing in April 2024, his children, Caroline Rondinone and John Rondinone Jr., now run day-to-day operations, carrying on their father's legacy with the same dedication and pride he built the business on.
Then & Now
Built From The Ground Up
The shop's original building under construction, decades before it became the full-service center Hartford knows today. The same values guide it now: the customer always comes first, and is treated like family.
By The Numbers
Over Fifty Years Of Combined Experience
"We'll Keep Ya Rolling!" — the same promise since day one.
