Your car does not always tell you what it needs. Sometimes, you have to ask.

Ashley and Alysa are part of the team that helps make those conversations easier, especially when customers are trying to figure out what their vehicle actually needs and when it needs it.

"Do I really need all of the maintenance my car is recommending?"

Not necessarily all at once. Maintenance needs can depend on your vehicle, mileage, driving habits, and what has already been done. Understanding what is due now, what can wait, and why it matters can help you stay ahead without guessing.

At McCabe's Automotive, the goal is not just to service your vehicle. It is to help you understand it, too.

The greatest compliment a business can receive is being trusted by the next generation.

When someone recommends you to their children, grandchildren, neighbors, or friends, it means every experience mattered. Those moments are built on honesty, consistency, and treating people the right way, every single time.

For more than five decades, McCabe's Automotive has been proud to serve families throughout our community. While vehicles continue to change, our commitment remains the same: providing trusted service and caring for the people behind the wheel.

Some of the hardest problems are the ones you cannot see.

That is where a good technician's experience really matters.

Jeff has been in the automotive industry for 12 years, including the last two at McCabe's Automotive. Growing up working on things, he developed an early appreciation for figuring out how things work. Today, that same curiosity follows him into the shop.

So, what happens when a car comes in with a problem you can't immediately see?

It takes more than a quick look. Technicians may inspect the vehicle, run tests, follow the symptoms, and work through the possibilities until they find the root cause. That is where experience, patience, and problem-solving come together.

For Jeff, figuring things out is not just part of the job. It is something he genuinely enjoys.

Behind every great repair experience is someone who knows what it's like to be on both sides of the service counter.

Meet Mike, one of our Service Advisors. After more than 30 years in the automotive industry, including many years as a technician, he brings experience that can't be taught.

For the past year and a half, he's been helping customers at McCabe's Automotive navigate repairs with confidence and clarity.

Away from the shop, Mike enjoys spending time outdoors, getting a little off the grid, and creating lasting memories with his more than dozen grandchildren. It's a balance that reflects the thoughtful, down to earth approach he brings to work every day.

The best career moves are not always part of the plan.

What started as a six-month opportunity became a decade of purpose for Ashley. Her story is about more than changing jobs. It is about finding a workplace where people are valued, where customer relationships come first, and where showing up each day feels rewarding.

Every team member has a story, and together those stories shape the experience every customer has at McCabe's Automotive. We are proud to build a team that cares as much about people as they do about the vehicles they service.

What makes someone stay at the same repair shop for 20 years?

For Greg, it isn't just the job. It's the people.

As our Master Technician, Greg brings 30 years of automotive experience to McCabe's Automotive. His knowledge helps keep countless vehicles on the road, but what he values most is the supportive culture that's been part of his journey for the past two decades.

When the workday is over, Greg enjoys slowing things down by working in his garden and taking his dog for walks. It's that same steady, thoughtful approach that defines the way he cares for every vehicle he works on.

Breaking news: Ashley survived the filming session. 🎬

The script? Not so much.

Between swapped words, forgotten lines, and a few "Wait... is that right?" moments, we ended up with plenty of laughs before we got the perfect take. Good thing our team specializes in fixing cars, because nobody was fixing these bloopers.

Stick around for the outtakes. They might be our favorite part.
