Jay Goninen

Jay Goninen started working in his family’s independent repair shop at the age of nine, and has worked in the industry ever since. Jay started his professional career as a technician, and then moved into management roles within the automotive and diesel industries.

In 2017, Jay founded Find A Wrench as a way to help shops and dealerships find and hire qualified technicians. As business quickly grew, it became apparent to Jay that while he found success helping shops find talent right now, there was still a bigger issue that wasn’t being addressed — the growing technician shortage. But, Jay knew he couldn’t tackle this problem on his own.
