Klingerman Family Auto / About
Same family, same corner, since 1974.
It started as a feed mill. Fifty-two years later it is a garage, a used-car lot, a detail bay and a Penske counter, and you still know who sold you the car and who is working on it.

It started with a feed mill.
“Treat people fairly, stand behind our work, and protect the family reputation.”
The Klingerman family bought a feed mill in Bloomsburg in 1974 and ran it. Over the five decades since, the business has grown with the community from agriculture into automotive: a full service garage, used-vehicle sales, auto detailing, and Penske truck rental, all at 555 East 7th Street.
What that means for a customer is that you know who you are dealing with. The people who sell you a car are here when it needs an inspection, and the garage that honors the warranty is the building behind the lot. We now serve more than one generation of the same families, most of them within ten minutes of the shop.
We are not the cheapest shop in the county, and we do not try to be. We aim for a fair price, given to you before the work starts, with photos or video of the part we are talking about.
The old sign says Brothers. The name on the business now says Family, which is the more accurate of the two, and it is what we answer to.
From a feed mill to four trades on one lot.

Klingerman Family Auto
Klingerman Brothers becomes Klingerman Family Auto. The name changed. The way the business works did not.
Names, not a call center.
Call the one number and ask for any of them by name. It is the same phone for the garage, the lot, the detail bay and the Penske counter.
Bob
Has run the detail bay for years, and the Penske counter with it.
