AKASHA AMES, The Snowdon Group, Graham, NC

Over the past 10 years, Frank Piccolo has bought 3 cars for my family. All the cars were in terrific condition and lasted us a long time before we sold them. Frank has several outstanding qualities that are excellent for the business he is in:

1) He works with the highest integrity and is scrupulously honest about money.

2) He has been in the car business for many years and knows cars better than just about anyone I have met. He knows the value of individual cars, their history of reliability, and he is highly competent in evaluating the mechanical and structural condition of each car that he looks at.

3) He seems to take his work personally and cares about the people he works with. What I especially like about Frank is that he is very conservative about "pulling the trigger" to buy a car. If he has any doubts about the condition or history or value of a car, he will not buy it.

All in all, I respect Frank's integrity, expertise, and customer service to the highest degree. I would want my daughter to buy a car through him.

Frank Piccolo's Skyway Auto is not your usual car dealer. When I needed a car, Frank came through for me, and at a price you can't beat. Knowing Frank's personal involvement and sterling reputation, it wasn't any surprise that I received the kind of service that I did. If you need an auto, Skyway is the place to go.

LUDWIG SPINELLI, Executive Director, BCHC, Bridgeport, CT

I have purchased vehicles from Skyway on behalf of our non-profit agency, The Bridgeport Community Health Center. BCHC is still using a 15-passenger van used for patient transportation bought some 9 years ago. I was able to save the agency considerable funds using Skyway. I expect to continue using them as a vendor for vehicle purchases.

MICHAEL ASTORINO, President, Darien Fabric Care Cleaners, Darien, CT

Dear Frank: I wanted to thank you for helping me purchase the van for my dry-cleaning business. Without your help, I would have paid a lot more for a used van and would not have been able to know about the problems that you saw in the other vans that we decided not to buy. Your knowledge of automobiles in addition to the great value I was able to purchase the van at will make me call you again when I need to buy an automobile for my business or personal use.

Thanks again,

Michael Astorino, President, Darien Fabric Care Cleaners, Darien, CT

HARRY GREEN, Bridgeport, CT

I recently acquired a vehicle through Skyway Auto with Frank J. Piccolo-owner and president, my contact point and account executive. I found that the energy that I customarily build up and reserve for such transactions was not necessary. It was refreshing to be part of a transaction and witness Frank focusing on, not just closing a deal, (which I typically find). Frank focused on me having a quality transaction three months later, I remain with the feeling that I made an excellent decision. I received hands on education in the process of buying a car and the pitfalls of jumping into a deal that I did not think through. I did not feel pressure to buy and that was a unique, enjoyable experience. The best compliment that I can provide is that I would not hesitate to purchase another vehicle using his experience and have been recommending him to friends and family.

As a full-time Realtor, good, reliable transportation is an essential tool in my business. Skyway Auto came thru for me when I was in need of a replacement vehicle. Frank Piccolo was able to find the perfect car for my business, at the perfect price and terms, the paperwork was handled efficiently and my business was quickly back on track. I am a very satisfied customer.

PETER LEWIS, Consultant, Manassas, VA

To whom it may concern:

My name is Peter Lewis. I own a Consulting firm in Manassas, Virginia. This correspondence is to recommend Frank Piccolo and his company, Skyway Auto to any interested party considering purchasing automobiles. I have known Frank Piccolo for better than 35 years and have purchased vehicles from his company [a number of times]. Mr. Piccolo is an honest businessman whose knowledge of the automobile industry and, more specifically, its wholesale aspect, is without peer or reproach. Most recently, I was in an automobile accident and was in need of a vehicle. Through the professional guidance of Mr. Piccolo, I was able to assess and then make an informed decision regarding an auto purchase. I have found Mr. Piccolo to be an honest, trustworthy, fair, and reliable businessman. I have recommended his company to others and will continue to do so.

Respectfully,

Peter Lewis, CEO/Owner Benchmark Careers, Inc., Manassas, VA

ARVIND SHAW, Executive Director, GFHC, Willimantic, CT

Dear Frank,

I consider myself to be a loyal customer of yours. I have bought five cars from you in the last eleven years. When I was employed by the Bridgeport Community Health center, I purchased a fourteen passenger van from Skyway auto. This van is in need of replacement and the Center would like you to start a search for a new van.

Without hesitation I recommend your services, due to the great service and high satisfaction that I have received from you. I wish you could find me a 25-hp tractor so that I can be ready for spring planting.

Good luck in your new venture.

STEVE JUENGERT, Fitness Director, The Stratford Athletic Club, Stratford, CT

Just writing to say thanks for all your help fidning me a car on such short notice. I was a bit concerned about finding a good deal under such time pressure, but you got me just what I was lookingfor within my price range. We wasted no time looking at stuff I couldn't afford, and the way you came to me at my work place to do the paperwork was much appreciated (especially since I had no car at the time). Furthermore, when it came time to take care of some basic repairs you even helped me find a good mechanic. trustworthy, friendly, helpful people are quite frankly, hard to come by when car shopping. I definitely intend to call on you again the next time I'm looking for another car.
