Sanders Auto began on the cold and windy New Year's Eve 1992 with Leroy and his brother trying to find a vehicle to resell. That first decrepit pickup sold for twice what the brother's had bought it for and Sanders Auto was on its way. Buying and selling vehicles became a second source of income to the declining farm market, and soon Leroy's sons were the top salesmen. Time had a way of taking the young salesmen on to bigger and better things, and the farm became only memories. In 2000 the auto business became the sole source of income with a body shop requiring more and more attention. Today the body shop has top priority with sales of rebuilt and wrecked vehicles keeping the extra minutes full to overflowing.
