Bob Fenster
When 14 years old, Bob joined his dad in re-building a 1948 Chevy pick-up within the garage of their north Platte, Nebraska home. It was during that experience that Bob also became excited about what he had watched his father doing all these years–fixing cars. Bob enjoyed driving and working on that classic pick-up as well as fixing his friends’ cars. After high school Bob attended mechanics school at South East Community College in Milford. From there he went to California for two years, then returned to Nebraska taking a job at Buchanan’s Service at 50th & Dodge. Six years later, Bob moved over to the Service station and auto repair center at 80th & Dodge where he’s resided for another 27 years .
When Bob’s not fixing cars at work he’s home working on anything else. “I just enjoy figuring out how something works”, says Bob. “Rather than always replacing and buying new, I have more fun keeping things going for as long as possible.” Bob has had that ’48 Chevy and kept it going for 33 years . Just recently, Bob and his younger son worked in rebuilding a 1969 2 dr Chevelle, starting another generation of auto repair fervor.
