    Hello, I wanted to post some vintage photos from our family business and see if i could generate any sort of response.


    My great grandfather,Michael Arthur Gentile, established Gentile’s Service in 1941. At first, it was a full service mechanic shop and towing business. Mike worked with his only son Michael Arthur Jr. in Hamtramck Michigan on Conant Ave. The service then added on Gentile’s Collision repair and the business is still growing today in Shelby Twp, MI.

    Any comments or memories are greatly welcomed and appreciated,

    Thank you!
