NEWS RELEASE
COOKSTOWN AUTO
*************************
After 57 wonderful years of business, we, as a family, have decided to permanently close.

We wish to thank our employees for their hard work and dedication and our loyal customers who have supported our small business.

In 1966, John and Olive Bucko started the yard with a couple of cars and a dream.

Over the years, with grit and determination, it grew to a thriving business, employing as many as 45, including all their children and grandchildren.

Not only was it a place to get parts, but it was a place where family and friends gathered to share a story and laugh. As business owners, they were pillars who were devoted to the community and enjoyed sponsoring local sports, schools, hospitals and race cars.

We, as a family, would like to thank you for your continued support and stories. You all have been important in our lives. We wish you the best as we start our new chapter.
