Russell Martin, son of Albert Martin, is a 4th generation resident of Fremont (the Martins came to Fremont from the Azores in the 1880s). His uncles all drove race cars and were mechanics (if you do drop in, ask him to show you some of his vintage racing photos!), and Russ started working in the 1970s with Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Buick dealers, and opened Centerville Auto Repair in 1979.

Russell's first car.
