Ivans Auto Body, Winnipeg, MB

Ivan Pecuh, founder of Ivan’s Auto Body & Glass Ltd started his apprenticeship in collision repair and refinishing in a European Fiat dealership. This is where he learned the fine art of auto body repair. Under the guidance of skilled European craftsmen, he quickly became the dealership’s top technician. Ivan along with his wife Bozana immigrated to Canada in 1977 with nothing but a couple of suitcases and dreams of starting a family and a better life. A vision and determination helped him move from being a painter in a busy Winnipeg auto body shop to obtaining his very first business under his own name.
