In 1975, Gary and Judy Mahnke opened their first auto body shop in Arvada.  They've earned their place among the most trusted firms in the industry, the old fashioned way, one job at a time. The four Mahnke shops were built upon the pioneer values of taking pride in their work, even when no one is watching, and keeping their promises.  Sam Mahnke, manager of the Frederick location, says, "We always do our best, every time."

Mahnke's ongoing mission is to keep the shops in Arvada, Brighton, Frederick, and Golden ranked among the best in the business. Joining the Fix Auto network has provided improved accountability, communication, and the sharing of "best practices."

The professionalism at Fix Auto is a question of attitude, knowledge, and access to the advanced resources required to excel at every level. To stay on top Fix Auto invests in training and technology adapted to today's challenges.  The strength of the Fix Auto Network is doing together what no one can accomplish alone.

"The Arvada Chamber of Commerce is an undeniable factor in Mahnke's success." says Megara Pullen, Marketing Director for Mahnke Auto Body.  "Our business has markedly grown through networking at the Leads Groups, the annual Golf Tournament, and After Hours. The speakers at the monthly Luncheons and the 3rd Friday Breakfasts keep us well informed of political and economic changes. Mahnke is also thankful to the City of Arvada for its conscientious management, and the excellence of the Police and Fire departments, which help to keep insurance rates low. Together, these entities have created an environment which protects the economic health of Arvada's businesses, both large and small."

The Mahnke family is deeply grateful to their loyal customers. With the intent of saying "Thank you," to the community, Mahnke supports: The Arvada Chamber of Commerce, Historic Olde Town Arvada, Arvada Harvest Festival Parade, the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth, The North Jeffco Foundation, Ralston House, Jeffco schools, and the Children's Hospital.

Congratulations again to Mahnke Auto Body, the Arvada Chamber of Commerce 2010 Business of the Year.
