Hello! My name is Kaley Olvera and my parents Jared and Ashley Jensen are the owners of Team One Suddeth Automotive. I am excited to announce that I have joined the Team One Suddeth family as a Marketing and Social Media Manager! From now on I will be the the face behind all Facebook and future social media posts on behalf of Team One Suddeth. My parents started Team One Automotive while I was in high school, and I remember the sleepless nights my Dad spent getting his shop ready to open. I have always thought that my Dad could fix anything, and I still think that to this day. I can recall many times while in college, calling my Dad in tears because my car was acting up and it would be fixed the very same day. Now I have 3 little girls at home, and my husband, Juan Olvera, has also recently joined the Team One Suddeth family as a technician. I’m so excited to be apart of the family business and meet the customers that keep our shop running! I look forward to our interactions on social media, and hope that you will be able to get to know Team One Suddeth a little better. You can reach me at: kaley@teamoneautomotive.com If you need your car serviced please don’t hesistate to make an appointment! You can call us at: 803-256-2110 We can also text! Our texting number is: 803-919-1994 Our texting number is the most efficient way to contact us. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be your lifetime repair shop! -Kaley
