Jeremy Stones

Nearly Three Decades Under the Hood

Jeremy Stones is a diesel mechanic with 28 years in the automotive industry and 23 years of hands-on repair experience, the last 14 months of which he has spent with the team at Lake Arbor Automotive. Before stepping into his current role, he spent nearly three years focused specifically on diesel repair, sharpening the kind of expertise that only comes from years inside an engine bay. He keeps a simple guiding principle close at hand: “Common sense can’t be taught.” It’s a reminder that good judgment, paired with experience, is what separates a quick fix from a lasting repair.

Diagnosing Before Repairing

Jeremy’s approach to every job begins the same way: he verifies the complaint before he ever picks up a tool. That habit protects customers from unnecessary work and ensures the real problem gets solved the first time around. Over nearly three decades, he has worked across a wide range of platforms — gas, diesel, domestic, import, light-duty and heavy-duty — and that breadth is what makes him especially valuable in a busy shop. When a vehicle rolls in with an unfamiliar quirk, Jeremy has almost certainly seen something like it before.

His formal training and certifications back up that experience, giving customers confidence that the technician under their hood is both seasoned and credentialed. Combined with a calm, methodical style, it’s the kind of work ethic that turns first-time visitors into long-term customers.

Hands That Stay Busy Off the Clock

When he’s not at the shop, Jeremy is rarely sitting still. He spends his free time fishing, riding motorcycles and working at the forge as a blacksmith. The blacksmithing in particular says a lot about him — it’s patient, hands-on, problem-solving work, the same qualities he brings to every vehicle he services at Lake Arbor Automotive.
