Car Care Awareness Class: Meet your Instructors
Jay Cassill
Jay Cassill has been working on cars since he was 8 years old in his Dad's garage. He has a contagious passion for cars, trucks, motorcycles - and anything with an engine! Because Cassill Motors has always had a wide variety of vehicle options, Jay has had the opportunity to work on just about every make and model of vehicle.
His experience and skill as a mechanic has also given him the opportunity to host a call-in radio show on WMT called the "Expert Hour". Listeners call with all kinds of car questions and Jay helps them figure out what is wrong. Through this radio show, Jay was presented with the idea of teaching a class.
One caller made the statement: "Students in Drivers Ed are taught how to drive, but not how to take care of the car - who is supposed to teach that?" That statement spoke to Jay, and the concept of Car Care Awareness Class was born.
Cassill Motors has agreed to open their doors to anyone who would like to learn how to take better care of their vehicle. Come to this one-of-a-kind, 2 hour class and learn how to take better care of your vehicle.
Jon Leydens
Jon's journey into the automotive world began when he was just a kid, and it's been a major part of his life for over 16 years now. He got his start as a lube technician at a service station after taking an automotive class in high school at the age of 15. He has spent the last 2 years of his career working at Cassill Motors as a service technician.
Outside of his job at Cassill Motors, Jon's love for cars extends to the exciting worlds of drag racing and drift car driving. While he's no longer racing a drag car, he's still fully invested in perfecting his skills behind the wheel of a drift car.
When he's not working or racing, Jon enjoys getting creative with metal fabrication, crafting custom automotive pieces like roll cages and motorcycle components.
Jon's also passionate about sharing his automotive expertise with others. He finds fulfillment in teaching and believes that being a mechanic offers a constant blend of mental and hands-on challenges.
We are grateful to have him at Cassill Motors and are excited to welcome him to our Car Care Awareness team.
