Remember the past... Deliver the Future Norman L. Bergey, founder "When my Great Grandfather started our family business, he relied on a simple promise. It was a promise of trust. A promise to always treat Customers the way that he wanted to be treated. As I look back on our 90 year history, I want to thank every Employee and every Customer who supported our company. I believe that these relationships allowed us to deliver this promise since 1924. I want to ensure that we continue to live by my Great Grandfather's Christian principles with the constant dedication to Keeping Customers on the Road™." ~ Mark J. Bergey 1924 was the year of the Ford Model T from the White House and the beginning of Bergey’s legacy in the transportation industry. In May of 1924, Norman L. Bergey opened Franconia Garage in Franconia, PA. Converted from a horse-shoeing shop, the 2-car auto repair garage gainfully employed 3 mechanics. Because of Norman's businessman's savvy and gentleman's code, Franconia Garage thrived, even during the Great Depression. Understanding the importance of family, Norman's sons became part owners of the business in 1956 and renamed the shop Bergey's Garage. Throughout its 90-year history, Bergey's has remained a family-owned business. Although it has expanded with new products, services, locations and state-of-the-art technology, Bergey’s foundations have and always will be at the core of the company. Norman's drive for quality customer service, commitment to excellence and promise to always treat customers the way that he wanted to be treated are instilled in the very marrow of Bergey’s.
