In 1976, Bob began repairing and painting cars in the garage of his home. He started with the cars of friends and only charged for materials. Word got out about the quality of his work, and he was able to start charging for his services. At that time, Broomfield was a sleepy bedroom community - and Villager Square shopping center was a big weed patch!
Neither the Safeway nor the Burger King center existed and 3. Margaritas was an empty lot. Main Street (then called Pierce) was a bumpy, two-lane gravel road. Bob worked day and night - sometimes crawling in the back seat of the car being worked on and sleeping till morning, only to start again. Ava kept the home fires burning. She worked full time and, when she got home, cooked and delivered dinner so that Bob could keep working.
In 1985, our son Scott started working after school. Today, Scott is the shop manager and "Doer of All Things" when Bob and Ava are out for vacation or a long weekend. He is a huge asset to Fender Menders; without him, the business could not endure.
