As a child, he would work on his family\u2019s cars, taking them apart and putting them back together. In high school, he helped fix his friend\u2019s cars, and after graduating from El Molino High School, he decided to make his passion a full-time career. Jason came to work at Pete\u2019s in 1995, and 10 years later he became a partner in the business. When Pete retired in 2007, Jason became the official owner. Variety and a love of helping people are what Jason loves most about his work; every car problem is different, which keeps him on his toes, and he gets great satisfaction from finding solutions to his customers\u2019 automotive problems.<\/p> Jason and Emily are both passionate supporters of our troops overseas and veterans organizations such as the USO, Wounded Warriors and Fisher House, as well as charity organizations Redwood Gospel Mission and Operation Blessing. They also volunteer as puppy raisers for Canine Companions for Independence, an organization that provides fully trained service dogs for children and adults with disabilities. Along with all this, Jason was one of the original volunteer steam engineers at Sturgeon\u2019s Mill.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t A descriptive paragraph that tells clients how good you are and proves that you are the best choice that they\u2019ve made.
