The brothers have always gotten along.
Their business relationship just fell into a natural pattern derived
from each of their strengths. "We don't call ourselves vice
president and president. We prefer co-owners", John says. When
the two joined forces in 1972 and had to pick titles for the legal
papers, John says the choice came down to simple math. "I said,
Joe, you're the oldest. You get to be the president".
According to elder brother Joe, "John
is adept at gold plating and excels at window tinting. Because he
has the patience to do it" However, his real strength is in
selling. He's very, very good at what he does and keeps me very
busy".
The admiration works both ways. John
uprooted his family and moved to Fort Wayne. He didn't hesitate
about going into business with his brother. "It never even
entered my mind that partnering with Joe might be a bad thing. To
me, Joe is just amazing. He loves being in the shop and he does
a fantastic job". We get along well and the system works for
us".
Our hands-on approach has kept Fabini's Auto Trim Co., a true family
business.
"We handle everything here because it means we always know
what is going on with the business on a day-to-day basis".
