January marks a significant month for our team as we remember Frank Bommarito, the esteemed founder of the Bommarito Automotive Group, on the first anniversary of his passing. Frank's life was a tapestry of hard work, innovative thinking, and an unwavering dedication to his community. This commemoration is a tribute to a man whose contributions have profoundly shaped the automotive industry in Missouri and set a standard for excellence and integrity. more The Early Years: Building a Foundation Frank Bommarito's automotive career began with humble roots at McMahon Pontiac, where he started by undercoating cars and working as a car porter and jockey. His dedication and hard work, coupled with his time in the US Navy where he received a Golden Glove award for boxing, laid the groundwork for his future success. Upon returning from the Navy, Frank continued his career at McMahon Pontiac in 1954, eventually climbing the ladder to sales and then on to management at Vincel Pontiac. His dream of being a new car dealer materialized in 1971 when General Motors handed him an Oldsmobile dealer in Ellisville, MO, marking the start of what would become the Bommarito Automotive Group. Under Frank's stewardship, Bommarito Oldsmobile not only became Missouri's largest Oldsmobile dealership but also maintained its status among the nation's top ten. But his initial success was not confined to a single brand; it was merely a springboard for expansion--each new venture was marked by Frank's signature blend of tenacity and foresight, as seen in the enduring success of Bommarito Mazda in Ellisville as the largest Missouri Mazda dealer for over 17 of their 43 years of operation. His vision encompassed the St. Louis Metro area, elevating the North County Nissan in Hazelwood to the status of Missouri's largest volume Nissan dealership. Extending further into West County, the establishment of Bommarito Buick GMC and Bommarito INFINITI in Ellisville continue to reinforce the Bommarito name as a significant cornerstone in Missouri's automotive history. Sustaining Impact and Growth The transition of leadership to his son, John Bommarito, in 1998, was a seamless passing of the torch. This period saw significant expansions and acquisitions, including the introduction of new brands like Pontiac, Suzuki, Buick, Honda, and Volkswagen, each reflecting the group's commitment to diversity and customer choice. The South County region soon became a new home for the Bommarito Chevrolet addition in 2008 as General Motors began shifting its focus away from Pontiac, welcoming a new auto brand powerhouse to the Bommarito family business, to accompany the already-successful Bommarito Mazda South (formerly Pontiac-Mazda). Even after handing over the reins of the Bommarito Automotive Group to John, Frank's influence remained a guiding force. The group's expansion under John's leadership, bringing the group total to 20 franchises and locations in every St. Louis neighborhood, continued to reflect Frank's vision and principles. Frank's ethos, centered around hard work and community service, was instilled in the group's over 1000 team members, ensuring that his legacy of being Missouri's #1 Auto Dealer and a top national dealership endured. The Bommarito Auto Group's growth was not about adding brands for the sake of notoriety; it was about creating a legacy that car buyers could rely on for life—Frank’s vision of having "a vehicle in our portfolio for every type of buyer" bloomed into a lifetime family mission that has become revered by the community today, with John's continued dedication in the business reflecting Frank's tenacity in which so many have been inspired by. A Fulfilling Life Beyond the Family Business Frank's life was rich and multifaceted, extending well beyond his professional achievements. He was known for his heartfelt generosity and his belief that giving someone a job was the best form of help a person could offer. He’s remembered as an accomplished Gin Rummy and Poker player, and he deeply cherished his weekly gatherings with friends, whom he affectionately nicknamed his "Cronies." He also had a well-known passion for writing which led him to author a weekly column in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for over a decade, sharing his business insights and personal experiences as a well-versed entrepreneur during the recession of 2008. In 2015, he was honored as the Time Dealer of the Year for his community contributions, and his alma mater, St. Mary’s High School, was named in his honor. Frank's legacy lives on through his family, including his beloved wife Lisa, his children, stepchildren, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and his beloved (and cleverly named) dogs, Sinatra, Deano, Bishop, and Pavé. As we commemorate the first anniversary of Frank Bommarito's passing, we reflect on a legacy that has truly transcended the automotive industry. His journey from a car washer to a revered industry leader is a narrative of resilience, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to the community he so deeply cared for. Frank Bommarito's story is not just about cars--it's about the indelible mark he left on the St. Louis Metro area and the countless lives he touched along the way. His legacy, carried forward by both his family and the Bommarito Auto Group, continues to drive forward, fueled by the same principles that Frank held dear. In remembering Frank, we celebrate a life that was truly driven by passion, vision, and an enduring commitment to excellence.

Image via Shutterstock A flat can be very inconvenient, especially if it happens far from home. Fortunately, it's a problem that can be easily fixed, and you'll be on your way again in no time. As your Ford dealer, we'd like to tell you how to change a tire like a pro. more Park Safely Changing a tire takes a lot of attention, so you must choose a safe place to change the tire. You'll need a relatively flat area that's as far from other moving vehicles as possible. Sometimes you might not be lucky, and you have to change a tire on the side of the road. In these circumstances, open your hood, switch on your indicator lights, and position any warning signs you have behind your car so other drivers can see you're stationary. Gather Your Tools Changing a tire requires only a few tools, and they will usually be located in your trunk. You'll need the spare, a jack, and a lug wrench or tire iron. If you're not sure where they are, your car manual will give their location. We recommend purchasing these as soon as possible for any future mishaps if your vehicle does not already come equipped with these tools. If you currently have a flat tire and do not have a spare and/or the necessary tools, call your warranty or insurance provider's Emergency Roadside Assistance or contact a towing service company that offers tire repair in your area. Loosen the Tire Use the lug wrench or tire iron to loosen the lugs on the flat tire. You may need to use force to turn them, as they must be extremely tight to keep your tire in place. Don't completely remove the lugs. Loosen them enough so they can easily be turned by hand. Jack Your Ford Take a look underneath your Ford for a flat metal area. There are several areas like these underneath your car, and they're designed as a reinforced position for placing a jack. You can also find the location of these areas marked in your car manual. Once you've found a suitable position, place the jack and use it to lift your car off the ground until the flat touches the ground. Replace the Tire Unscrew the lugs, remove the flat, and then position the new tire over the lug holes. Once the holes on the tire line up with the lug holes, screw the lugs into position and tighten them by hand. Lower Your Car It's now time to lower your car. Once all four tires are on the ground, use the lug wrench or tire iron to tighten the lugs on the replacement tire as securely as possible. Time To Leave Once the spare is securely in place, pack the flat, jack, and lug wrench back in their positions, and you're ready to drive away. Now you know how to change a flat! Once you're back on the road, visit our service department at Bommarito Automotive Group so we can check your tire lugs are securely in place. We can also supply you with a replacement tire if necessary.

Image via Shutterstock When you choose your next car, you have the choice between bank financing and dealership financing. While these two options may sound similar, they're very different in practice. We'd want to tell you some of the reasons why financing through your dealership is your easiest, cheapest, and best choice. more You're Not Alone When you apply for an auto loan through the bank or other credit provider, you have to complete the process alone. You fill in the bank's credit application, submit it, and then you wait for a decision. They have systems and people available to answer questions, but it's impersonal. A bank views every application as a number on a credit score. Your dealership is very different. When you apply for financing through us, our friendly finance managers are with you at every step. Our finance application process is transparent. We know that you want the car or your dreams, and we work with you to get it. Our experienced team negotiates the best rates and terms for you as an individual and not as a number. Have You Decided? You know the make of the vehicle you want. You just haven't picked the exact model yet. It makes sense that you want to know how much finance is available to you. If you approach a bank in this situation, you could be looking at a long delay while you decide. A bank will only move forward with a loan application when they have all the information about the vehicle you want. We view this situation differently. You haven't decided on the model yet, but we know you'll decide. We can pre-approve your financing based on the information you provide. This gives you more time to decide, and you know that the finance is available for you. We Offer Choice If you apply for finance through the bank, they offer you one deal based on their terms. You don't usually have options to negotiate the term length or monthly repayments. If you refuse their offer, you have to start the loan application again at a new bank.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ When you choose financing through us, you complete one application. We work with a pool of lenders, and we negotiate with them to get you the best deal. Very often, we can supply you with several offers. We can also negotiate term length or repayment terms to get an even better deal. These are just a few reasons to choose financing through your dealership. We also provide some easy-to-use online tools so you can get pre-approval and calculate the rates and term length that work best for you. If you'd like to know more or are ready to finance your next car, contact us today at Bommarito Auto Group.
