MEET THE TEAM
BEHIND THE WRENCHES
ROBERT SAMAR
SHOP OWNER AND LEAD TECH
Robert originally started this business out of his garage at home, then dreams started to become reality and here we are at over 3 years owning and operating out of the shop! He graduated top of his class at Universal Technical Institue. Worked at the dealership level for a while being accepted into the BMW S.T.E.P Program.
He may own this place, but he get's his hand dirty everyday working full time as a Technician and master tech. Cruisin around you may see him in a Porsche or something RHD.
JARROD HENRY
SERVICE MANAGER
Jarrod started with us in October of 2022, and has been in the Auto Industry since 2013. He's also probably one of the most devout enthusiasts of all things Porsche. Driving one himself, and attending any and all events around the country.
If you're not calling us for service or parts, be prepared to talk Porsche, racing, and fitness with our man here!
PAUL SEVERSON

Overall he's been working on cars for over 27 years. He's also our shops Volvo enthusiast. Outside of cars, you can catch Paul kayaking, mountain biking, hiking ect.
CASSIDY SAMAR
SHOP OWNER AND FINANCIAL
Raised by a BMW Master Technician, Cassidy is no stranger to shop life. Seems like fate that she ended up married to a BMW Master Tech herself. At a young age she started to grow fond of European cars (primarily BMW), and how they ticked.
She's not always in the shop, but when she is she handles our HR/Accounting needs, and we're happy to call her our "Shop Mom".
JEREMY MUNDAY
SERVICE ADVISOR
This is Jeremy, but around the shop we call him Jay. Born and raised in Blount County, Jeremy grew up working on cars with his dad and has been an avid enthusiast for most of his life.
In high school he bought a 1990 VW Jetta GLI from a family friend and it sprung him into Volkswagen obsession. When he is not driving local roads like US 129 aka “the dragon” or the foothills parkway, he enjoys making music, going to car shows, and spending time with family and friends.
THOMAS HURST
MASTER TECH
This is Thomas. Thomas has been around cars, and working on them for a long time. Well before he could drive himself. Growing up most of those cars were domestic, but that all changed when he bought himself his first mk2 Jetta at 16. Since then he's owed several Volkswagens, Audis, and BMW's. He preferers the build quality, and design of Euros over any other cars out there.
DOUG SMITH
#DOUGSPEC
Doug is the guy that needs no introduction. Everyone knows him, and they know what he does. He's the guy that everyone trust with their wheels/tires, and most things under your car. It's safe to say Doug has mastered his craft at being an alignment tech, but he offers much more than that.
Building his cars (preferably Honda) mainly for track/racing and actually driving them on the track, he can get you and your car where it needs to be to do the same. Whether it's dialing in suspension bits, or a full corner balance #DougSpec is what the people want!
