In 1968 Bob Fitzgibbons started an auto body repair shop known as Airport Collision. A few years later, in 1973, his son Robin joined him as a painter, and the body shop expanded to include truck equipment and repair. In 1978, they decided to switch to truck fabricating and moved their facilities on I-94 in Jackson, MI. Once there, they became known as Fitzgibbons Fleet Fabricators, LTD Although the days have long since past that Bob and his wife Gloria have run the business, the family name continues to carry on, and is now into its third generation. Robin, his wife Kathy, and their two sons Robbie, and Jason currently operate the family business on I-94. Tracy Rochefort is their office manager, and is Bob and Gloria's granddaughter.
