Our Story: The Auto Brokers and Big City Cars are owned and operated by Bobby Bolen, Nadia Boyer, and Timothy Duncan. Bolen, Boyer, and Duncan came together in late 2014 with a vision that would challenge the current image of used car dealerships. The combined but varying experiences, skills, and abilities of the owners allowed for a well-balanced team to work towards this vision. They set out to design and
develop a new kind of dealership in the Lima Road Auto Mall. The Auto Brokers was established in 2013 by Bob Bolen and Nadia Boyer. Tim Duncan previously owned GBNC Auto Sales until it was consolidated into the new partnership to support the business development plan in early 2016. When trying to determine the location for Big City Cars, the business partners were presented with an opportunity that reinforced their vision of creating a family centered business. The building’s location is where Fort Wayne Foundry stood from 1945 to 2009. Fort Wayne Foundry was a family owned and operated business and has close connections with one of Big City Cars’ owners. Because of the relationship they had with the previous family, the idea of revitalizing the property and stimulating the area’s economy appealed to all three owners. Pieces of the old foundry can be found at Big City as a tribute to this family and their positive impact on the greater Fort Wayne area. Big City Cars is two doors down from The Auto Brokers, which provided another strong pull to
developing the property. They chose the name Big City Cars in reference to the city of Fort Wayne and the northeast Indiana region, which is where the dealership is located.
