The Gloucester Transmission Service is already a part of a winning team, no need to wait for the Super Bowl outcome. Joe Carlino and his team have the \”Home-Field advantage\” which amounts to the benefit that a team gets by playing games in the area where it is based, has the fan support, familiarity with its\’ surroundings and the lack of required travel.

His team wins \”extra points\” by taking care of the Gloucester residents and also by supporting the other local businesses. \”We can get work done outside the city at maybe a lesser price when we need a roof repair, heating service, plumbing, lunches, etc. But we use our local companies and thereby give back to the community that gives to us. Money spent here on repairs goes right back to the community in many ways,\” said Joe Carlino.

Joe and his wife, Betty are both graduates of Gloucester City High School. They raised their children in the community. Joe, Jr. works in the transmission business and he is the \”full-back\” to call if your vehicle needs to be towed. Daughter Jessica is a teacher in the state of Maryland and has just received her Master\’s Degree in Computer Sciences As a mother of a six month old and a two year old that is like scoring a \”touchdown\”.

In addition to her third grade teaching position at the Cold Springs School, Betty is president of the concern, keeps the books and does the payroll for the business. \”Even after retirement we are planning to keep our home here,\” Carlino said.

The two \”Joes\” are also team players in their local church, St. Mary\’s. Joe, Jr. is a caretaker and usher at the church and they both have helped to clean up the cemetery, organizing the plots and making information available to families of those buried there. Also, when needed, five hundred dollars was donated to St. Mary\’s for the Church Steeple.

Rich Malatesta, manager and transmission specialist, is one of the \”running backs\” for the team. He is proud that the locally operated business is a member of good standing in several organizations. The company is a member of the Professional Automotive Technicians Association, the Gloucester City Business Association, Knights of Columbus and has contributed to the many sports organizations in town.

\”Our flat bed truck was used as a stage for the Fourth of July celebration. We are a sponsor of the Gloucester Catholic High School year book Gloucester Transmission supports the annual Beauty Pageant, the Mustangs Football team, local basketball teams. We give our best back to the residents and to the young people,\” Rich said.

Rich and Joe are very proud that they are a co-op student employer and take on high school students to work in the garage helping them to prepare for their future. Corey Whitten is this year\’s student. \”Motor oil runs in his blood,\” Joe and Rich said. Earl\’s Motor Shop was run by the Whitten family.

New front doors were recently installed on the property which in addition to the neatness inside the garage does present a very competent and inviting atmosphere to prospective customers. The building was renovated in 1947 when the then owner, William \”Bucky\” Caldwell replaced the all wood wall and floor in place since 1927. At that time Caldwell ran a car service garage for Buick Cars.

Security cameras are installed that help to keep the neighborhood safe. \”If a robbery or assault or automobile accident is happening near our property, the cameras will capture the scene and that video could aid the police department in their search for a perpetrator. The cameras act as a deterrent to crime, \”Joe said.

\”The garage is fully insured and fully secured with indoor storage and 24 hour monitoring\” Joe and Rich said. \”Extra points\” can be made by taking advantage of this local business. Be part of a winning team and support your local business. The firm accepts all major credit cards for all repairs that include transmission repair and replacement, shocks, etc. Throw a \”Forward Pass\” and come in for a free diagnosis.

The establishment is located at 733 Market Street, Gloucester City 08030 and may be reached by calling 456-3015 or/and at www.gloucestertrans.com.
