A family-owned auto repair shop where you’ll always know who’s servicing your car.

About Us

Cherry Capital Auto Clinic is a family-owned and operated business built on trust, hard work, and a commitment to serving the Northern Michigan community.

Brothers Larry and Jason McMann were born and raised in the Metro Detroit area. In 2016, Larry moved to Traverse City and has since dedicated his career to caring for the local community as a physician at Munson Medical Center. After spending years serving patients throughout Northern Michigan, Larry wanted to build something that would continue serving the community in a different way-through honest, dependable automotive repair.

Jason moved to Traverse City approximately three years ago with their mother and brings more than 20 years of automotive experience to Cherry Capital Auto Clinic. Throughout his career, Jason has owned and operated several automotive repair shops in the Metro Detroit area and has worked on everything from routine maintenance to complex diagnostics and repairs. He is excited to bring that knowledge, experience, and passion for automotive repair to Northern Michigan.

At Cherry Capital Auto Clinic, we understand that vehicle problems can be stressful, unexpected, and sometimes overwhelming. Our goal is simple: provide honest recommendations, fair pricing, quality workmanship, and a hometown family atmosphere where customers feel comfortable and respected.

We service foreign, domestic, hybrid, and electric vehicles and strive to be your one-stop shop for all of your automotive needs. Whether you need routine maintenance, diagnostics, brakes, suspension work, engine repairs, or more advanced vehicle services, our team is here to help.

As a family-owned business, we take pride in treating every customer like family. When you stop by, you’ll likely see Jason, Larry, or another member of the family working to ensure every customer receives the attention and care they deserve.

Thank you for supporting a local family business. We look forward to helping keep Traverse City moving for years to come. 

Meet Jason McMann

Co-Owner

Jason McMann brings more than 20 years of automotive repair experience to Cherry Capital Auto Clinic. Throughout his career, he has worked at independent repair facilities in both Michigan and Texas, served as a technician for large dealership groups, and successfully owned and operated two automotive repair shops in the Metro Detroit area.

Since relocating to Traverse City, Jason has worked at several local repair facilities and has gained valuable insight into the needs of Northern Michigan drivers. He recognized a common frustration among customers: long wait times for vehicle inspections and repairs, often caused by a shortage of highly skilled technicians and experienced diagnosticians.

Known throughout his career as the technician other mechanics turn to for help, Jason has developed a reputation as an expert diagnostician with the ability to solve complex vehicle problems that others struggle to identify. This level of diagnostic expertise is increasingly rare in today’s automotive industry and especially valuable in Northern Michigan.

Jason believes that exceptional customer service and clear, honest communication are just as important as quality repairs. His goal is to ensure every customer understands their vehicle’s needs and feels confident in the repair process from start to finish.

At Cherry Capital Auto Clinic, Jason is excited to combine decades of hands-on experience with a commitment to best-in-class customer service, delivering dependable repairs and honest advice to keep Northern Michigan moving. 

Meet Gabe

Lead Mechanic

Gabe moved to Traverse City from Florida three years ago and quickly fell in love with Northern Michigan and the community that makes it special. A graduate of Northwestern Michigan College’s Automotive Technology Program, Gabe earned his Master Mechanic certification in 2026 and has been building his career in the automotive industry ever since.

As a first-generation American whose family immigrated from Mexico, Gabe comes from humble beginnings and understands the value of hard work, dedication, and treating people with respect. He believes Traverse City provides incredible opportunities for young families and is proud to call Northern Michigan home.

Before joining Cherry Capital Auto Clinic, Gabe worked at a large corporate-owned repair facility in Traverse City. While there, he saw firsthand how customers were often treated like numbers and how little investment was made in employees, equipment, and technology. He knew there had to be a better way. 

That’s what attracted him to Cherry Capital Auto Clinic. Gabe was excited by the opportunity to work in a brand-new facility with state-of-the-art equipment alongside owners who genuinely care about their customers and are committed to helping their employees succeed.

Gabe is proud to be part of the Cherry Capital Auto Clinic team and is excited to help build a repair shop where customers are treated honestly, repairs are done right the first time, and relationships matter. He looks forward to growing alongside the McMann brothers while delivering the level of customer service and craftsmanship that Northern Michigan drivers deserve.

For Gabe, this isn’t just a job—it’s an opportunity to build a future for himself and his family while helping others keep their vehicles safe and reliable.
