Good’s Automotive began in the 1970s when Bob Good started helping neighbors in Hershey with their cars. His first shop was where the Sonoco is now on Governor Road. After a stint expanding to the West Shore, Bob eventually returned to Hershey and set up shop on Cocoa Ave around 1995.

I grew up locally and got my education at Dauphin County Vo-Tech before working at a Ford dealership, where I received ongoing training to keep up with the ever-changing automotive field. Later, I moved to a tire shop, where Bob Good noticed my work. He asked me a few times, "How would you like to come work with me?" In September 2000, I finally joined him. When Bob retired in 2007, I bought the business from him and have been running it ever since.

I’ll never forget my first day here. Coming from a busy, noisy area like Paxton Street in Harrisburg to Hershey was a breath of fresh air—literally. The birds were chirping, the smell of chocolate was in the air, and the sun was shining. I knew this was where I needed to be.

Our business is built on honesty and fairness. Tucked away on Cocoa Avenue, we take pride in offering every customer real value. We believe in treating people the way we’d want to be treated—like family. Our goal is simple: do good work, treat people fairly, and ensure they feel comfortable coming back to us.

COVID-19 was one of the toughest challenges. The phones stopped ringing, and I had to lay off my team. It was a hard time, but we pushed through little by little as business started to pick up again.

My tech teacher, Skip Wagner, always drilled one lesson into us: treat every car like it’s the second biggest investment someone has made. People should never even know you were in their car. That respect applies to any line of work—treat people and their belongings with care and professionalism.

I believe you can learn a lot about someone by the way they keep the inside of their car!
