About Us
Founded in 1967 as central New York's premier engine, machine and speed shop, today's Burkart Automotive represents two generations of family-owned and operated history. As the area's racing and performance hotspot, Burkart Automotive helped mainstream drag racing by bringing such big names as Bruce Larson, Tommy Ivo, King and Marshall and an array of other kings of the quarter mile on site for appearances as they worked their way across the northeast racing circuit.
Racing and high performance is a staple of the Burkart family; Burkart Automotive is managed by Phil Burkart Jr., who has been involved with the store since his first steps and now takes part in every aspect of the operation. Phil's own racing career anchors his love of high performance and speed. Since his first drag race at Cicero, NY's Esta Drag Strip at age 14, Phil has had a taste for racing, licensing for an IHRA Top Alcohol funny car in 1991, then moving to NHRA in a nitro funny car in 1998. Phil's professional drag racing career includes driving for Rex Nix, Paul Gratton in the Nitro Fish funny car, Bill Blomgren, Paul Smith, culminating with three years behind the wheel of the Worsham Racing Checker Schucks Kragen funny car and a two-event job piloting the injured Castrol GTX funny car of none other than the King of the Drag Strip, John Force. Burkart currently drives Nick Bonafante's US Male nostalgia funny car at match races across the northeast.
Burkart Automotive specializes in engine building and machine work, 4x4 and off road accessories, and speed and performance gear. "The mission of the team at Burkart Automotive is simple - to be the best choice in the industry for your high-quality speed and performance needs. Whether it's a simple part or a high-performance custom engine, we want your experience to be just right. Our service, our integrity and our lineup of high quality products are the top priorities here at Burkart Automotive, and our goal is to bring you into our family when you buy from us."

As performance enthusiasts today, most people are accustomed to having access to whatever performance parts they need for their vehicle readily available at their local dealer. It usually never crosses anyone's mind who invented these products? Who was the first to identify the need, then develop and manufacture that product? Since the very early 1950s, B&M has been at the vanguard of the growing automotive aftermarket. Racers themselves, B&M's founders identified the needs of local racers and street performance enthusiasts, and developed products to fill those needs. As the industry grew so did B&M. And as racers went faster, B&M developed products to help them break the records they just set. In the 50's it was B&M who came up with the idea of using a performance reinforced Hydramatic for racing. In the 60s it was B&M who developed shifters to go along with it, and later in the decade came race converters. In the 70's shift and transmission improving kits, and always the constant refinements and expansion of existing product lines. If you've ever raced a vehicle, or driven a hot rod with an automatic transmission, high stall torque converter, an aftermarket automatic shifter, or performance enhancing shifting kit, thank B&M. From Trick Shift performance ATF to reverse pattern valve bodies, 1.80 gearsets to cool canisters, the list of firsts goes on and on. It's this tradition that keeps moving B&M to identify and develop what the performance enthusiast needs. As racing and street performance has spread globally, B&M has taken it's extensive knowledge and experience and applied it to the needs of racers, everyday drivers and hobbyists around the world. Keep looking to B&M to continue to be amongst the very first to identify vehicle needs in the global automotive aftermarket, supplying enthusiasts and racers what they need, performance!
