Jerry Old, Owner
Jerry’s automotive career started all the way back when he was 8-years-old fixing his bicycle in his parents’ garage. As a teen, he came to love cars, motorcycles, and basically anything that had an engine. That love lead him to pursue a career in automotive repair. As a testament to his dedication, Jerry trained in high school while simultaneously attending automotive technical school.
Today, Jerry is proud to be an ASE-Master Certified Tech who holds a variety of other automotive certifications. He is also a successful business owner. Jerry's love for the automotive industry continues to inspire him to this day.
Jerry is happily married with two beautiful daughters. He enjoys vacationing with his family, spending the day on his boat, and going to the races.

Although Cathy is not a technician, she definitely loves cars. As a co-owner of Alternative Car Care, she manages our daily operations and handles all marketing. Cathy also organizes charity events and donations, including those for Rescue Ridge, a not-for-profit, no-kill animal rescue that she volunteers at.
When Cathy's not at our shop or Rescue Ridge, she enjoys traveling and spending time with her two daughters, four grandsons, and her beloved dogs.
