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!”

Youngest daughter of four children to Rick & Rebecca McCabe, Ashley grew up with her parents in Graham WA. At an early age Ashley realized that she had a passion for customer service and believed in going above and beyond the industry standard. At age 23, her mom and dad approached her with the opportunity to take over the family business. 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. She enjoys spending time with her husband Austin and their son Madix on their mini farm out in Yelm. She says, “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.”

Andrew has always had a passion for working on anything with an engine, from cars and motorcycles to lawnmowers. His journey into the automotive world began with his grandpa, who first sparked his interest in mechanics. Starting as a lube technician, Andrew worked his way into the main shop, gaining hands-on experience and honing his skills along the way. For Andrew, one of the most rewarding aspects of being an automotive technician is the challenge of diagnosing and repairing vehicles. He takes great pride in solving problems and restoring reliability to something people depend on daily. He enjoys the process of “putting the puzzle back together” and knowing his work helps keep customers safe on the road.

To stay ahead in the ever-evolving automotive industry, Andrew is committed to continuous learning. He actively researches new technologies, completes training, and keeps up with manufacturer updates and industry trends—including watching informative videos to expand his knowledge. His advice to anyone considering a career as an automotive technician? Be willing to invest in yourself. Tools are a major part of the job, but just as important is the drive to keep learning and improving. Outside of work, Andrew enjoys spending quality time with his family.

Jeff’s journey into the automotive industry began in the Powersports world, where he trained as a motorcycle technician. Early in his career, an unexpected opportunity led him to work on a race car for a 15-year-old driver, sparking a passion for automotive repair that would shape his career. Over the years, he has gained experience in both motorcycle and automotive fields, ultimately choosing to focus on the automotive industry. One of Jeff’s most memorable and challenging projects was restoring a 47-foot yacht with two carbureted GM V8 engines from 1974. The extensive electrical repairs and top-end engine work took four months to complete—an experience he describes as both frustrating and incredibly rewarding. Jeff stays current with industry advancements by attending vendor trainings, listening to automotive diagnostic podcasts, and engaging in discussions with fellow automotive professionals. His advice to aspiring technicians? Stay off the tool trucks! Outside of work, Jeff is passionate about tournament paintball. What started as a casual outing with coworkers turned into a deep love for the sport. Now, he helps manage an adult paintball team and enjoys playing with his sons on the weekends. Jeff brings an incredible attitude to the shop, always ready to lend a helping hand. His dedication, enthusiasm, and team-oriented mindset make him a valued member of the McCabe’s Automotive family.
