History
Travelers Body & Fender Works, Inc. was established in 1946 by Orval J. Minnis. The original location was rented space at the Travelers Hotel which was located in downtown Fresno. In 1965 the current location at 1861 Broadway was purchased and the name Travelers Body & Fender, Inc. continued doing business. The business has remained family owned for 60 years. Orval's son, Jim Minnis, continues the business with the same quality and complete satisfaction to all our customers past and present.
