John Giovagnoni
Owner
Hi my name is John and my wife and I are the owners of CJ's. I moved from New York to Florida in 1986. I was originally a machinist by trade, but my love of cars led me to develop an interest in transmissions. After many classes and seminars on the subject I decided to venture out and opened CJ's in 1989. I continue to further my education in the automotive industry becoming ATRA and ASE master certified, two highly respected organizations in the automotive community. Myself, as all the techinicans at CJ's attend regular seminars and educational classes. I have served as the president of sportsman's sertoma for 2 years as well as supporting many community projects. The towns of Dunnellon, Crystal River, Floral City, Inverness, Inglis and Ocala have been very good to us in the 20 years we have been in business here and we try our best to give back to the community whenever we can. Myself and my employees are committed to providing quality automotive service with honesty and integrity.
Terry Dube
Manager
Hi, my name is Terry and I have been the manager of CJ's since 1998. I started here as an air conditioning technican and soon was asked if I would like to manage the business. My automotive career started in high school working for an auto parts store at night and on the weekends for a local garage. When I graduated I joined the army for a 4 year stint. After receiving an honorable discharge I went back into the automotive field and found myself bouncing from shop to shop trying to find an honest, quality business where I could hang my hat and be proud to call home. It took a lot of searching but when I was hired at CJ's, I saw the compassion and integrity in which my boss John ran his business I knew that I was home.
