Kevin Hebert KEVIN

Kevin started working at Auto Craftsmen in 2000 right out of high school.

He is a gifted ASE Certified Master Technician.

Kevin is one of the most conscientious people I’ve ever met.

He takes care of automotive problems quickly and correctly every time.

He’s a pleasure to work with and has a wonderful sense of humor.

I’m proud to have him as a cornerstone of our organization.

Jim MandigoDSC02971

Jim has been an automotive technician for over twenty years. He has seen almost everything you can imagine for automotive troubles and is great at keeping the flow of the shop moving forward.

He is exceptionally thorough with each and every job he does. He’s also an extremely hard worker and truly enjoys what he does. On his days off he restores World War II tanks, jeeps, amphibian vehicles, etc.

Jim is an ASE master certified and has enough certificates and training to cover most of the walls in the office.

I’m proud to have him as yet another cornerstone of our organization.

Mark is ASE certified and is working toward getting his master certification.

He has a great eye for detail and along with his automotive service work he runs our Automotive Detailing Department.

Mark has one of the best work ethics and attitudes I have ever seen. He’s often found singing a tune as he works along in the shop. The whole staff is glad that he is on our team.

MARC

 

Marc Yakubosky

Marc Yakubosky is our Service Advisor. He brings a lifetime of experience and knowledge to the table.

He was the service advisor trainer for Hummer and Indian Motorcycle dealerships around the country. Once he moved to Vermont he wanted a job where he didn’t have to travel and could concentrate on his passion of theater and go skiing in the winter.

You will find Marc at the shop every day always ready to help!

I feel very lucky someone with Marc’s experience and knowledge to run the helm of Auto Craftsmen.
