Owner

Jarred Mason

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.
