Denver Auto Body

Tony started working in the auto body industry in the mid-1960s. This family business was Martins’ Auto Centre, a quality paint, body and import parts center. He also has formal training and education in the field, attending a vocational technical school for four years, studying auto body repair and welding. Since then, he has completed accredited certification courses in the industry, including I-CAR, PPG, 3M, NACE and Car-O-Liner.
