Anderson Automotive Changes Owners

Tolland native Graham Scelfo is now the owner of the repair shop and gas station on Route 195.

Graham Scelfo is the proud, new owner of Anderson Automotive, the full-service mechanical repair shop and gas station located just off of I-84 on Route 195.

Scelfo, a Willington resident and Tolland native, said that he plans to closely follow the business precedent set by former owner Peter Anderson. Anderson has stepped down after running the station and shop for 30 years.

"I can only hope that you will embrace and continue to trust him like you did me," Anderson said to Tolland residents about Scelfo. He thanked residents for their support and friendship in an announcement posted on Tolland Patch.
