Paul Rush
OWNER

          Paul started with Broadway Estates Conoco in 1969 as an attendant. Outside of two years military service, he has been here ever since. He worked his way into being a technician and then up to manager for previous owner, Ron Compton. Paul is ASE certified in Engine Repair, Brake Repair, Engine Performance Repair and Electrical and Electronics Systems. In 1995, Ron sold the business to Paul and things began to take off. While Paul’s duties are more in the line of customer relations and the business end of things, he is required to fix cars from time to time and keeps up with his certifications and training.

TECHNICIANS
Jim Rowledge
 
           Jim has been working in the Littleton area since 1976. He first came to work for this organization in 1983, at our Orchard location, until the lease was sold in 1988. At the time, there wasn’t enough business to afford Paul and Jim, so Jim left for a couple years. He returned on a temporary basis in 1990 to see how it worked out. I guess it worked out OK.
 
Jim is an ASE Certified Master Technician, an ASE Advanced L1 Technician, State of Colorado IM240 Technician, and MACS Air Conditioning Technician. Even with his credentials, he is hungry for more training and is eager to learn more. Jim was named the ASE/CarQuest Technician of the Year for 2005. To win this Award Jim had to score the highest in North America on his eight ASE recertification tests with his L1 Advanced Engine Performance as a Tie Breaker. This is a tremendous award. See the Photos Page to see pictures of the award presentation and photos of the trip to Charlotte for the CarQuest 300 and Coke 600 Races Memorial Day Weekend. Jim has invested tens of thousands of dollars in equipping himself to tackle the tough drivability problems. Jim is active with the Tech-Net Advisory Council and has participated in ASE test writing workshops.  Jim belongs to IATN and tries to respond to as many postings as time will allow. Jim has attended many clinics and training sessions. See his credentials on display in our sales area.

          Jim is an avid Scuba diver. He is now going through his second childhood with his new Mustang. After many modifications he now thinks he can run with the big dog(Paul's Cobra). As a certified Master Scuba Diver, he sneaks away a couple times a year to dive the nicer spots in the Caribbean.

Tim Brinkopf

          Tim started in the business at the age of 14, changing oil at another shop and came to work for us a little over six years ago. Tim’s duties have grown steadily to include cooling systems, transmission service,  brake repair, light electrical and engine service. Tim is an ASE Certified in Brakes,  Electrical Systems, Steering and Suspension and Heating and Air Conditioning. Tim is also a MACS Certified Air Conditioning Technician. While certified, we don’t just throw him to the wolves, we try and control how much we expand his duties. He is probably much more capable than we allow him to be, but we are demanding about the quality of the work we put out.
 
Like all young people to the business, they find the people aspects of the business the most difficult. Tim is making tremendous strides in this area and is getting better and better with our customers and is developing a following with our clients. Tim's sense of responsibility is part of why we feel he is the right kind of man for the job here.

          Tim has purchased his first home and is learning about how much work that can be. Tim tries to get to Lake Powell at least once a year to fish and unwind.
