About Us

Jennifer Fannon has been an [atc] Service Advisor since 2015, and these days she leads the Augusta location. She’s completed the Elite Masters course and is an ASE certified Service Advisor to boot. Give her a free evening and she’s outside with her family, reading, traveling, or cooking up something good. Her dogs Kobi and Dottie keep things lively at home, and she’ll tell you, unprompted, that she’s a proud left handed Canadian. Her first car was a 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse. She learned to drive a stick shift in it, then drove it clear across the country to British Columbia.

Josh Blackwelder joined [atc] as a Master Technician in March 2026, backed by 25 years of experience in the industry and ASE certifications A1 through A8. Getting his Master Technician certification is still the achievement he’s proudest of. Off the clock he’s into gaming and Lego, and his two dogs, Kylo and Sadie Mae, get him out for regular walks. Hondas are his favorite to work on since the bolt sizes are easy to remember; German cars, not so much. His first car was a 1985 Subaru Justy. On a dirt road one day, a friend in the back seat pulled the emergency brake and spun them around three full times.

Meredith Few has been an [atc] Service Advisor since 2018. She’s completed her Elite Masters course along with ADAS and brake system diagnostics training, holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business Economics from Wofford College, and is ASE certified. Outside of work she’s golfing, hunting, fishing, or boating, and she’s even caddied for Arnold Palmer, John Rollins, Woody Austin, and Sterling Sharpe. Three dogs, Bentley, Gump, and River, run the house. Her first car was a 2000 Chevy Cobalt SS. She ran out of gas in it four times and locked her keys inside five times, all in the same month.

Anthony Kim has been an [atc] Master Technician since 2017 and is ASE certified in A3, A4, A5, and A7. When he’s not under the hood, he’s deep in video games or in the kitchen making kimchi with his mom. His first car was a 1992 Pontiac Grand Am.

Tim Kindberg joined [atc] as a Master Technician in 2023, bringing 15 years of experience in the industry and ASE certifications A1 through A8. He was born on a shrimp boat in the Gulf of Mexico, which is about as good an origin story as it gets. These days he’s got three cats and a dog, and spends his free time hunting, fishing, and flying model and RC planes and helicopters. His first car was a 1989 Chevy Cavalier. He took it mudding once, and that was the end of the transmission.

Kathleen Lariscy has been [atc]’s Office Administrator since 1986, which means she’s forgotten more about this place than most of us will ever know. She reads everything from mystery to memoir, bakes new recipes for fun, and has two dogs, including her Boston Terrier, Ike. Her first car was a 1970 VW convertible Beetle that she drove with the top down rain or shine. By her own admission, she “looked like crap by the time I got where I was going but didn’t care.”

Jason Miller has ten years of experience and has been an [atc] Technician since 2018. Football, lake time, and family take up most of his time off, and he’ll happily out-trivia anyone in the shop on sports. At home it’s a full house: three pigs, a guinea pig, and two dogs. His first car was a 1988 Subaru Justy. He blew the engine trying to drag race it, which, in hindsight, checks out.

Brandon Mulcahy has been an [atc] Master Technician since 2018. He’s ASE certified in hydraulic brakes, engine repair, steering and suspension, and AC 609, and he’s a Lincoln College of Technology grad. He also bought his first house at 22, which is its own kind of achievement. Outside the shop he’s racing R/C short course tracks, gaming, or out shooting. His first car was a 2003 Chevy Cavalier. One time he hit an unmarked railroad going 45 mph. Let’s just say it was really cool.

David Moore has been an [atc] Technician since 2005 and is ASE certified A1 through A8 and L1. He enjoys camping, racing go-karts, and fishing, and his dog Roxie is always up for the ride. His first car was a 1976 Chevy Camaro. He bottomed it out on a dirt road once, the shifter dropped into low at 50 mph, and that was the end of the transmission.

Lee Perry has been an [atc] Technician since 2021, bringing ten years of experience in the industry with certifications in brakes and general maintenance. Outside the shop he’s into carpentry, kayaking, and DIY projects with his family, plus a couple of cats named Oliver and Hazel. His best “only in Augusta” story: spotting an alligator up close at Lake Olmstead. His first car was a 1994 Chevy Camaro. He loved to fishtail it, and so did his sister.

Jonathan Smith has been an [atc] Service Advisor since May 2025, bringing 13 years of experience in the industry. Family is what fills his time outside the shop. His first car was a ’91 Honda Civic, and he still remembers replacing the transmission himself in his backyard one summer.

Scott Weeks has been an [atc] Facilities Specialist since 1994. Once something catches his interest, he’s all in: these days that’s Civil War history, cycling, antiques, and estate sales. His first car was a brand new 1994 F150 Ford truck, no hand-me-downs here.

Chuck Ashley has been [atc]’s triage Technician since 2021, backed by more than 25 years in the industry. Now he’s the Location Leader. He’s certified in suspension and steering, brakes, electrical, and A/C engine performance, and that’s just the short list. When he’s not diagnosing your car, he’s out biking, running, fishing, or in the garden, and somehow he’s also finished nine Iron Man competitions. Two dogs round out the household. His first car was a 1980 Olds Cutlass so rough that most people assumed it was headed for the junkyard. His dad covered the motor, so Chuck earned the rest: seat covers, tires, a CD player, and a paint job, all out of his own pocket.

Ashley Collins joined [atc] as a Parts Expeditor in January 2026. She’s into photography, Legos, and travel, and keeps a full house at home: four dogs including Ghrey, Cali, Belle, and Kimber, two lizards (a bearded dragon and a leopard gecko), and a 75-gallon fish tank. Her first car was a 1993 Dodge Neon. These days she and her family are slowly restoring a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda that belonged to her dad, the car’s only other owner, working on it together in his memory.

Jaron Hanhardt joined [atc] as a Technician in April 2026 and has been getting his hands dirty on the Grovetown shop floor ever since.

Mary Kelley Havasy has been an [atc] Service Advisor since 2016, and she’s completed the Elite Masters course to prove it. When she’s not helping customers, she’s at a concert, out fishing, chasing her grandson around, or squeezing in a workout, whether she looks the part or not. Her cats Jezzabelle and Leo hold down the fort at home. Her first car was a Ford Taurus, and Augusta Transmission Clinic rebuilt the transmission on it over 25 years ago. Two weeks later, it was totaled. Mary still swears it wasn’t her fault.

Nate Neal has been turning wrenches at [atc] since 2019, with ASE certifications in engine repair, brakes, suspension, electrical, A/C, and basic engine performance. Outside the shop, he’s hunting or fishing with his boys, and every Christmas he and his wife lead the Angel Tree program at their church. His first car, a 1985 Chevy C-10, is still parked in his driveway. He drove his future wife home from school in it long before either of them knew where things were headed, and now the whole family is restoring it together.

Kira Prohaska has 7 years of experience in the industry and has been an [atc] Service Advisor since 2024. She’s a crafting-and-traveling kind of person, and a proud grandma to three boys. Her first car was a 1991 VW Jetta, paid for in full with blackjack winnings. It met its end when a tractor trailer t-boned it in a parking lot. Some things you just can’t win against.

Tobin Spivey goes by Toby, and he’s been an [atc] Technician since 2018, though his resume stretches back 47 years in the industry. He’s certified in engine repair, suspension, brakes, electrical, heating and air, and engine performance, basically all of it. Ask him his hobby and he’ll tell you straight: starting trouble. At home, two dogs and a cat named Rambo, Boss, and Gizmo keep him on his toes. His first car was a 1971 Toyota Corolla.

Dylan Spivey has been an [atc] Technician since 2018 and is certified in rotor and machining work. Give him a free afternoon and he’s golfing, hanging out with friends, or admiring a good classic car. His dog Rambo keeps him company at home. His first car was a 1999 Supercharged Buick Riviera. And in case it ever comes up: sharks can’t play guitar.

Nelson Valentin joined [atc] as a Technician in April 2026, bringing 20 years of experience with him. He holds ASE 609 certification and picked up welding skills during his time in the Air Force. When he’s not in the shop, he’s off-roading. His first car was a 1990 Honda Civic with a quirk: you had to turn the wheel left just to get it to stop.

Gage Weeks has been an [atc] Service Advisor since May 2024. He played collegiate golf for four years and reached the top 15 in the nation for Division II, so don’t challenge him to a round unless you’re ready to lose. Outside the shop he’s working out, hunting, fishing, or watching sports with friends. His first car was a 2007 Chevy Tahoe that drank a quart of oil every 1,000 miles, which might explain how he ended up in the car business.
