Meet the owner
Hi, I’m Kaley.
I’m an Army veteran, Michigan Master Certified Technician and the owner of Black Cat Automotive.
I’ve been in the automotive industry since 2008, with experience spanning hands-on repair, service, parts and automotive management. I’m a natural puzzle solver with a genuine passion for cars, and I bring a detail-oriented, persistent approach to every vehicle I work on.
Black Cat is a one-person business, so the technician explaining your estimate is also the technician completing the work. That means direct communication, clear answers and personal accountability from your first request through the finished repair.
