The husband and wife duo have been the owner/operators of Iannelli's Truck and Tractor Parts since 1984.
Located on Wamoon Avenue, the business caters for much more than its name suggests.
They offer everything from the servicing of cars, trucks and tractors to batteries, oils, lubricants, and a large variety of parts for all makes and models.
They also specialise in brake parts and repairs and can source batteries for caravans, motorbikes, mobility scooters and older-style vehicles.

Nine times out of 10 we tell them 'no problem, we can get that in for you' and they are shocked.

The Iannelli's have built their business from the ground up, earning them a fantastic reputation within the community.
Their doors are open to one and all.
If you've got a question or query, it's easy to pop in and say hello, find the help you need, all while being treated to some good, old-fashioned service.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Iannelli's have implemented the appropriate social distancing measures, but for them and their business, everything is operating as normal.
Mr Iannelli said the business had a wide network of contacts and sources products from throughout Australia and the world.
"If you think you might have trouble getting a part or need something done, try us first," Mr Iannelli said.
"So many times we have had people come in and tell us we are the last place they are trying.
"Nine times out of 10 we tell them 'no problem, we can get that in for you' and they are shocked.
"Try us out first because you will be surprised at what we can do for you."
Thirty-six years is a long time to be in business, but the husband and wife duo enjoy providing all of these services to the community.
They said working together, side-by-side, for so long was something they continued to enjoy.
"We wouldn't have it any other way," the pair agreed.
There's no doubting small businesses of all kinds have been finding it tough of late due to the coronavirus crisis, as well as the drought.
The best thing everyone can do is to look to these local businesses first before shopping out-of-town.
That's a philosophy the Iannelli's would love to see continue to happen in Leeton shire.
"We're always here to help and we will do whatever we can to make sure our customers are always looked after with what they need," Mrs Iannelli said.
Iannelli's Truck and Tractor Parts is open Monday to Friday, as well as Saturday mornings.
They have a website, which can be found at http://iannellis.com.au/ and you can also find them on Facebook.
You can phone them 6953 2403, 0428 532 403 or visit them in Wamoon Avenue.
