Frankfort Family Auto

Frankfort Family Automotive Repair is owned and operated by Bill & Tracy Sampognaro. Their expertise is firmly rooted in more than two decades of quality service. Bill’s automotive career began at the Flossmoor Standard gas station. During that time he assisted with maintenance jobs, such as oil changes, serpentine belts, wiper blades, headlamps, and tire repairs. He even ran the full-service gasoline pump!

Our vision is to provide all customers with an honest assessment of their vehicles' needs, be able to attend to the repairs when the customer needs it done, and stand behind our workmanship. We're not happy unless the customer is thrilled with the experience and we have exceeded expectations.

performing virtually any repair, whether it's domestic or import, treasured classic or fine-tuned track car. More than just an owner, Bill truly is a hands-on mechanic who on any given day might repair tires, diagnose short circuits, install new brakes, then wrap up the evening with a few hours on restorations.

Bill's love of cars began as a young boy helping out at his parents' car wash in Chicago. In high school, Bill worked at a few auto repair shops including Flossmoor Standard. But his dreams were even bigger… so in 1988 he purchased his first automotive repair shop in Park Forest. Ten years later he expanded to a second location, now known as Flossmoor Family Automotive Repair. Bill served as President of the Viper Club of America, Illinois Region for eight years, where he and Tracy coordinated meetings, race events, cruises, tours and car shows. Bill's hobbies include racing his Viper, restoring old cars, visiting car shows, traveling and playing volleyball.

the importance of earning their trust.

As Bill and Tracy’s oldest son, it’s no wonder Douglas started tinkering on vehicles when he was very young. Following in his father's footsteps, he’s made being a mechanic not only his career but also his passion. He is a huge Mopar fan, having restored his own 1974 Plymouth Duster, better known as "Dougster". He takes great pride in being a mechanic and working alongside his father in the family business. When he's not in the shop, Douglas loves to spend time with his lovely wife, Becky, their beautiful kids Giana and Dominic and dog Cooper. Douglas's hobbies include fishing, softball, bowling, art, and woodworking.

Tony: Logistics

Tony is the youngest of Bill and Tracy’s 3 children, and certainly shares their love of cars in his genes. A certified tire technician, Tony could best be described as the logistics captain at Frankfort Family Automotive. He helps maintain the flow in the shop. That could include picking up parts for a repair, or picking up and dropping off a customer while their services are performed. Tony loves country music and like the rest of the family, covets American muscle cars. His dream machine? The “General Lee” 1968 Charger from Dukes of Hazard.
