Auto Barn began as H&M Auto Parts of Brooklyn, NY in 1957. This store as well as Globe, our first import-only store, were entirely dedicated to the wholesale trade. In 1964, the business expanded to Long Island with the addition of wholesale stores in Freeport and Lynbrook . To service our growing group of stores as well as other independent Jobbers, Rodi Automotive Inc., a Warehouse Distributor, was established at that time.
