James Barden opened Loop Auto Repair in December of 1960. Located at Loop 13 & 281 South, which today is known as Military Dr. & Roosevelt Ave.. He not only did mechanical repairs he also did paint & body work. His reputation as an honest, good man grew and his customers relied on that. "I only let Jim work on my car" that's what most of our customers told us. In 1975 he moved the business down the street to the corner of Roosevelt Ave. & March Ave., where we still are today.

    We have some wonderful customers who have become part of our "Loop Family".
