1979

In April 1973 the garage moved 200 yards, and we purchased the building at our current location of 1330 West 7th Street in Cincinnati.

We opened the Trailer division in 1976.  We saw a need, and we were repairing mechanical issues on our customer's vehicles, but if any trailer or box repairs were needed our customers had to go to a 2nd vendor.

In May of 1979, Art Wells, Jr. joined his father full-time.  He opened the Body side shop of Queensgate Truck Center after studying auto body repair and painting at Diamond Oaks Vocation School.

The company name was Wells Comet Service until the business was incorporated and changed to Queensgate Truck Center, Inc. in July 1979.
