Meet Our Team

Jeanette was born in Olympia WA. She’s been a Washington resident all of her life, until recently.  Jeanette and her family decided to relocate to St George Utah in February 2021. She was ready for more sunshine! McCabe’s wasn’t ready to lose her, so we created a remote position so we could keep her on our team.  Jeanette’s a daughter, sister, wife, mother and auntie. Her family is her everything! She’s also a fur mom to 4 amazing French bulldogs, Duke, Havana, Ariel and Phoebe. In her free time, she enjoys working out, walking her dogs, karaoke, adventures in her Polaris UTV and family time. She’s been in the automotive industry for 27+ years. When asked how she found herself in the industry she said “I like to help people and nobody likes automotive expenses, so if I can make that experience better, I like to do so.” Jeanette enjoys a challenge and she felt like the automotive industry could use more women in the field. She has accepted the challenge and is growing and thriving. She started as a parts driver and quickly moved into management. Jeanette joined the McCabe’s family in February of 2019. She loved the mission that Ashley had for the future of her family’s business and wanted to be a part of that. “I love my job and I love what this team stands for. I’m excited to be part of many more years at McCabe’s!”

For the first couple years Ashley worked side by side with her father to learn the ins and outs of the industry and the business until he took a step back and retired late in 2019. When asked what she likes most about being in the automotive industry, she said “I just love helping people. I feel proud to continue a legacy my father has created by providing his customers with honest and quality service and repairs, and I plan to continue that legacy for years to come.” Outside of work, Ashley has a passion for horses, and has since she was 5 years old.
