JMC Auto Services, based in Kingscourt Co. Cavan, has become the latest independent garage to join the AutoMester Network.

JMC is owned and run by John McCabe, who established the business in 2007, after previously working in the main dealer sector. Since the business was first established, John has always placed great emphasis on maintaining a very professional approach when it comes to areas such as facilities, equipment, staff and training.

Commenting on the reasons why he joined AutoMester John said, “After building my business I had been looking for something unique to differentiate me as a top independent repairer, something that would tell the public that I’m a professional operation while at the same time adding vital assistance for my business. AutoMester does this for me. From our first meeting in September, I knew the AutoMester team were experienced and professional. Once I had my decision made and AutoMester were happy with their audit requirements, I was up and running within 8 weeks, that’s great service.”

John points out that life as an independent repairer is very challenging today because of the growing complexity of cars and aggressive competition, especially from the dealers. He commented, “Having seen what AutoMester has achieved for independent garages in Denmark and Norway, I wanted to be part of this in Ireland. AutoMester gives me a strong high quality brand, which is important, but equally I get vital technical information, data, training and support services. I see the importance of joining a network of like-minded garages around the country, building a high quality standard that we can all be proud of. Above all for me, AutoMester is a partnership.”
 
Looking to the future John said, “I’m delighted that I have AutoMester now. I know I’ve a partner that will take a lot of my headaches away and leave me to look after customers and fix their cars”.
