Our History

Formerly known as “DaGrosa’s King Tire & Automotive Center, Inc.” we like to remind our customers we are the same family operating under a new name; and third generation technicians at that! Our father, Robert S. DaGrosa, opened the doors in our Egg Harbor City, NJ location in 1977. At that time, he was a second generation automotive mechanic, having followed in the footsteps of his father and uncle before him. In 2002, son, Bob opened an auto repair shop at 643 N. Egg Harbor Road, Hammonton, NJ. He went under the business name of RPM Service Center, Inc.​, where he specialized in automotive diagnostic and performance work.
After a very successful career in the auto repair business, Robert decided it was time to retire at the end of 2011. Sons Bob and Dave took over the Egg Harbor City location and moved the RPM Serivce Center, Inc. business name as well. When asked about the specifics of the business, general manager, Dave said, “Like our father, we specialize in domestic and foreign auto repairs,tire sales, and used car sales. In addition to those services, we also offer custom exhaust fabrication, flatbed towing, servicing small light and medium duty fleet trucks, and our newest edition: front end alignments.”

For those of you who are familiar with the family, you might be wondering what happened to their other brother, Chris. Well, he’s off on a different career path–“But we promised to leave a seat open for him at the service desk or a lift open so he can install a set of tires or perform an oil change when he stops by for a visit.”

If you haven’t met them yet, stop in. They’ll be glad to assist you. From Model T’s to Power Stroke Diesels, Bob & Dave have the experience.

Michael R. DaGrosa

Michael R. DaGrosa, founder of RPM Service Center, Inc., is known to all as “Bob”. (Wait, “what?” you wonder. Long story, maybe he’ll share it with you one day). Bob, like his two younger brothers, Chris and Dave, grew up in the auto repair business started by their parents in Egg Harbor City in 1978, previously known as DaGrosa’s King Tire. Bob started his own shop in Hammonton, New Jersey in 2002 specializing in light truck repairs, diesel equipment service, differential rebuilding, performance vehicle service, and vintage car enhancements.

Dave DaGrosa

Dave DaGrosa opted to gain further experience in the auto parts industry, agricultural equipment service and repair, and electronic automotive diagnostics after high school. After their dad’s retirement in 2011, Bob relocated to the Egg Harbor City shop with Dave, while his other brother, Chris opted for another profession, bearing witness not all career paths are the same. It seemed only natural Bob and Dave would combine their talents to continue as third generation automotive repair business professionals now doing business under the moniker, DaGrosa’s RPM Service Center, Inc., of course leaving the option for Chris to join in the fun on his days off. (So far, he hasn’t taken the bait).
