Kim Auernheimer, AMAM

Rob's partner in life and in business, Kim has tons of experience in business management. Since 1997, Kim worked in real estate and property management but has was behind the scenes when Rob decided to open Cool Springs Automotive. However, the business grew into something that requires more manpower (or woman power)! So, she stepped out from the background and joined her husband in this venture. Kim continuously seeks out training for her and her entire team and put the teachings to use. Her belief in industry education has been a large influence on how much success and growth they have had over the last few years. In fact, she recently received her Accredited Master Automotive Manager certification. She has a passion to improve the reputation of the Automotive Repair industry working alongside other shop owners and industry leaders to improve the overall experience of the customer from the moment they make that first call to the shop until they drive their car off the lot instilling transparency and developing trust during the entire process. Kim is a well-respected Automotive Industry trainer working with shop owners and managers from the US and Canada.

Lori VanHuis

Lori, our Service Writer Extraordinaire! With her outgoing personality and passion for taking care of people, Lori's gift is making everyone feel comfortable. She joined the CS Automotive team in October of 2013 and we will not let her ever leave us! Originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, Lori and her family enjoy living in the countryside. She is an avid hunter and chicken farmer! Yes, she has a hen house of chickens that she can share a tale or three about! Lori and her husband Joe are parents to two beautiful daughters, Baleigh and Carlie. We're so thankful to have her on board.

Tanner Jenkins

Tanner Rocks! It is just that simple. He graduated from Texas State Technical with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and received a certificate in Computer Numerical Control in 2005. He began working as an automotive technician in 2009 at a Texas Toyota Dealership. He joined our team in early 2011 and we could not be happier. We haven't found anything yet that this guy can't fix. Did we mention he's an ASE Certified Master Tech? And....We couldn't be more proud that Tanner received the Ratchet & Wrench Shop Worker of the Year award in 2016! He's an All-Star in so many ways! Tanner and his wife Jena are proud parents of four beautiful children.

Cory Theisen

Another Michigan native joined our CS Automotive family in 2016 and we couldn't be happier! Cory and his wife enjoy working on their newly purchased home and training their German Shepherd puppy. Cory's dry sense of humor and quick wit keeps us guessing. One thing to note about Cory....if you want to make good with him just give him Cookies! Our little cookie monster is a blessing to us each day!

Levi Voorhis

Our kid...well, not biology speaking but he is the kid of the group! He keeps us young and smiling! Levi began working on cars and motorcycles while he was just a kid helping his father. Now, a married man, he enjoys spending time with his wife Lilia. Perhaps his youth makes it easier for him to learn from the other "more experienced" technicians because Levi is one of the quickest learners we have ever met! He truly keeps us smiling while he bounces around the shop with a smile from ear to ear!
