About International Motor Group

1981 Was a very special year.

  • MTV Launches in the United States

  • Diana marries Prince Charles

  • A Baseball game between the Rochester Red Wings and the Pawtucket Red Sox at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, becomes the longest professional baseball game in history: 8 hours and 25 minutes/33 innings (33rd inning is not played until June 23).

International Sports Car Opens for Business!

Realizing the area had a shortage of quality repair shops for import vehicle owners,

Tony Petrone Sr. along with Son(s) Lenny and Tony Petrone Jr opened "International Sports Car Company"                       at 4614 Post Road in Warwick.

 

1982

 Offering Loaner cars to service customers, The Petrones began an expansion into sales as a used car dealership.        After all, since customers trusted International to repair and maintain their vehicles, it was a given that a vehicle purchased from this family owned business would far exceed expectations! 

From Audi to Volvo, import owners found they no longer were at the mercy of the large franchise repair shops.

It didn't take long before word of the quality work performed at International spread like wildfire. Import customers were thrilled to finally have a quality repair facility at a fair price.    

 

1984 

4000sq ft addition was needed to accommodate the major increase in business.

1992

As the business grew so did the demand for space.  With the retirement of Tony Sr.,  Lenny and brother Tony Jr. knew it was time to expand up and out. 

The result...

A new and "State of the Art" Service Department

Plus! a whole new location for our Sales Department just one block away at 4657 Post Road. 

  

Since 1981, Our commitment to you has remained unchanged,..

Quality Service for Quality Vehicles!
