My name is Chase, and together with my wife Kendal, we are working to open Chase's Auto Repair in Newsoms, VA, serving Franklin, VA and Southampton County. After 18 years in the automotive industry—including a decade at a dealership and experience in six independent shops—I’ve seen firsthand how expensive and time-consuming car repairs can be. As an ASE certified technician and licensed Virginia state inspector, I take pride in providing honest, high-quality work. Kendal and I have always dreamed of running a family-operated shop that truly serves our community.

We’re raising funds to purchase essential equipment, especially lifts and other tools, to get our shop up and running. Our goal is to open by September 1st, so we can start offering reliable, affordable automotive repairs to our neighbors as soon as possible. With six wonderful children—Ryane, Gage, Jackson, Bowen, Riley, and Charlotte—our family is deeply invested in making this dream a reality. Our oldest daughter faces unique medical challenges, and we know how important it is for families to have trustworthy, affordable services close to home.

By supporting Chase’s Auto Repair, you’re helping us create a welcoming, trustworthy environment for everyone in Newsoms, Franklin, and Southampton County. Your contribution will help us provide quality repairs at fair prices, making a real difference for local families. Once our shop is running successfully, we also plan to open a store offering healthy, fresh homemade food at affordable prices to further support our community.

With everything we do, we aim to honor God. We are a faith-centered family, and our values guide every part of our business and our lives. Thank you for believing in our vision and helping us serve our community.
