With decades of experience under his belt, Michael understands the importance of quality workmanship and getting the job done right.

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.

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.
