Bloomington's trusted auto repair shop since 2021

Meet Jarred, our owner/operator and the man in charge! Jarred is a “Master Certified” ASE technician, along with having factory training and certifications from General Motors. Jarred’s passion for helping people is what led him to start Mason Automotive.

Unlike conventional owners of auto repair shops, Jarred started his career as a technician and sees the auto repair industry in a different light. After years of seeing how people were simply treated as just another number in most shops, he wanted to create a place where people wanted to bring their cars because it was someone they trusted. Jarred works both in the shop and in the office, overseeing his vision of being “the local mechanic you can trust.”

Making sure people are taken care of, making sure vehicles are repaired properly, and ensuring people have a vehicle they can rely on are the heart of his business. Outside of his business, Jarred is passionate about his family and is a die-hard Atlanta Falcons fan. The whole family joins in every Sunday to cheer on their beloved Falcons.

Meet Dustin, our Shop Foreman and resident “Subaru Guru”! Dustin joined Mason Automotive in 2021 and is the older brother of our owner, Jarred. With over 20 years of experience in the automotive repair industry and an ASE Master Technician certification, Dustin brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our team.

Before joining Mason Automotive, Dustin worked at both Ford and Subaru dealerships, gaining extensive factory training and certifications along the way. His specialized Subaru knowledge allows us to provide dealership-level diagnostics, service, and repairs on Subaru vehicles of all models.

After serving as our lead technician for several years, Dustin has transitioned into the role of Shop Foreman, where he now oversees the day-to-day operations of our service bays. From managing workflow and assisting technicians with challenging diagnostics to providing hands-on training and ensuring repairs meet our quality standards, Dustin plays a key role in keeping the shop running smoothly. His experience and leadership help our entire team continue to grow while maintaining the level of workmanship our customers expect.

Outside of the shop, Dustin is a big Chicago Cubs fan and enjoys catching games whenever he can. He also enjoys camping and traveling with his family, exploring new destinations and making memories as they take their camper on adventures across different states.

Meet Aaron, one of our service technicians. Aaron joined our team in August of 2022 and has developed into a high-level technician! Starting from the basics and working his way up, Aaron has turned into our “workhorse” of the shop. Aaron does everything from alignments to brake repairs, complete engine replacements, and everything in between.

Don’t let his young age fool you, as this guy can do it all. Aaron is passionate about quad racing. His weekends consist of traveling the state and racing different local circuits. When he is not racing, he can usually be found riding his SXS around his property with his family and friends.

Meet Rick, our Parts Manager and Mason Automotive’s very first employee! Rick has been with us since we opened our doors in March of 2021. With nearly 40 years of experience in the automotive repair and dealership industry, Rick brings an incredible amount of knowledge and expertise to our team.

After serving as one of our service advisors for several years, Rick has transitioned into a role focused on managing our parts department and inventory. From handling the intake and organization of replacement parts and coordinating orders to managing inventory and handling warranty claims, Rick plays an important role in keeping our technicians supplied with what they need to get the job done right. His extensive industry experience and attention to detail help keep repairs moving efficiently while ensuring our customers receive quality parts and dependable service.

Outside of work, Rick is an avid motorsports fan who enjoys both dirt track racing and NASCAR. He also has a unique hobby of restoring antique electric fans from the early 1900s. When he’s not working on a restoration project, Rick enjoys entertaining friends and family at home. You’ll often find him in the backyard tending to the grill with a race on in the background!

Paul is the newest member of the Mason Automotive team, joining in August 2025. He brings valuable dealership experience as a Service Advisor, along with more than seven years of hands-on technical expertise in the audio and security industry, where he worked as a technician for Best Buy/Geek Squad. Paul takes pride in helping customers understand their vehicle needs and ensuring every repair moves forward smoothly. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling and camping, often with his loyal ferret, Lola—his last remaining companion from a trio of ferrets he’s raised over the years.

Jarrett joined the Mason Automotive team in December 2025 as our General Service Technician. He handles all general service work including oil changes, tire rotations, and routine maintenance that keeps our shop running smoothly. Jarrett spent several years working in the concrete industry before deciding to transition into the automotive field, where he’s now learning a new trade and building a long-term career. He takes pride in showing up, working hard, and doing things the right way. Outside of the shop, Jarrett is an avid Baltimore Ravens fan and enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family. His strong work ethic and eagerness to learn make him a great addition to the Mason Automotive team.  

Meet Mark, one of the friendly faces you’ll find at the front counter here at Mason Automotive! Mark brings over 12 years of experience in the automotive parts industry, having previously worked in commercial parts sales with Speedway Auto Parts. During that time, he developed a strong relationship with Mason Automotive and became familiar with our commitment to quality repairs and customer service. When the opportunity came to join our team, Mark was excited to make the move from supplying parts to helping customers directly.

Outside of work, Mark is a dedicated family man who spends much of his free time coaching his sons’ sports teams, especially travel baseball. He’s so involved in the game that he even built a batting cage in his backyard to give his son and friends a place to practice. Between coaching, family time, and keeping up with things around the house, Mark stays plenty busy even when he’s away from the shop.

Meet James, one of our skilled service technicians here at Mason Automotive! James brings a wide range of mechanical experience to the team, having worked on everything from everyday automobiles and side-by-sides to heavy equipment, excavators, buses, and just about everything in between. His diverse background has given him a well-rounded understanding of mechanical systems and the ability to tackle a variety of repairs with confidence. James takes pride in his work and is a valuable addition to the Mason Automotive team.

When he’s not turning wrenches, James enjoys spending time outdoors. He’s an avid fisherman who loves taking his boat out on the lake to see what he can catch. When he’s not on the water, you’ll likely find him enjoying bow hunting season or spending time at home with his family, his three dogs and his Russian tortoise.

Meet Elias “Eli”, one of the younger faces on the Mason Automotive team!
