Jonathan Donnell has such a deep passion for cars and the auto repair industry as a whole. It's more than just a job to him—it's a calling. He's always taking the time to mentor the younger technicians in the shop, not only helping them learn how to properly diagnose and repair vehicles, but also guiding them on how to handle setbacks and roadblocks with patience and professionalism.

What sets Jonathan apart is that he doesn't stop at just teaching technical skills. He constantly emphasizes the importance of being a true professional—treating customers with respect, communicating honestly, and holding themselves to a higher standard. One of his biggest motivations is changing the way people view the auto repair industry.

"We aren't the greasy old mechanics trying to take advantage of people like everyone thinks. That's why, as technicians, we need to be the change—so we can change the stereotype."

He truly believes that by setting the right example, he and others in the industry can earn the trust and respect the profession deserves.

Jonathan is incredibly passionate about both the auto repair industry and giving back to the community. He takes pride in mentoring apprentice technicians, helping them become not just skilled techs, but true professionals. He's also the go-to resource for other shops when they're stuck on a tough diagnostic—always ready to help, because he believes in the idea of "one big industry family" where everyone supports each other.

Outside the shop, Jonathan coaches youth soccer and plays a central role in his shop's annual Wishes on Wheels car giveaway, where they donate a vehicle to a local family in need—giving away two cars in the most recent year. Whether it's in the shop or in the community, he's always looking for ways to make a positive impact.
