Co-Founder

PNW Autowork, and Mckay Truck and RV are owned by Jeremy Jesinghaus and Austin Arrambide. Jeremy was born and raised in Oregon and later moved to Alaska while serving in the Armed Services. He continued to work there as a commercial fisherman. Austin also grew up in Oregon and worked as a commercial fisherman in Alaska for a few years. Both Jeremy and Austin have extensive experience in various fields of repair, including large boats, heavy equipment, and automotive repair. After being friends for many years, they decided to pursue their dream of opening their own automotive and RV repair shop. Their primary goal is to provide customers with a welcoming, small-town atmosphere and exceptional value, which is not always easy to find these days.
