About Staff
The success of Hoover Street Auto Repair is attributed to our highly talented and experienced employees and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
These are the people that make it happen:
employee Brian
- Moved business to Hoover Street Auto in 2002
- Started Auto Repair in Ann Arbor in 1980
- 22 years Shell Service Station owner/operator
- US Air Force service
Other than the four years I was in the Air Force, I’ve been an Ann Arbor / Saline resident since 1971. I had visions of owning my own business back in my high school years. One year following my Air Force tour, I reached my high school dream of business owner as a lease/operator of a Shell Service Station on the eastside of Ann Arbor. After 22 years at the Shell Station, in 2002, I bought the current building on E. Hoover and moved my business there to focus on auto repair in Ann Arbor without the gas business. During my free time I enjoy golf, tennis, water and snow skiing. I’m a beginner in ballroom dancing and love to sing… not to be confused with a “talent to sing”… however, I do great job with background vocals for familiar songs on the radio. I have two daughters that are married and still living in the area. No grand babies… but, both girls each have two dogs… that sort of counts… doesn’t it?
employee Mike Kennedy
- Started at Hoover in 2009
- Working as a Service Advisor since 2001
I grew up in Clinton and have been working in Ann Arbor as an automotive service consultant/advisor since 2001. I joined Hoover Street Auto Repair in 2009.
During my career I’ve been through an extensive list of corporate training classes. Those classes have covered everything from administration to people skills and from automotive maintenance needs to computer software systems. I also have a lot of expertise in automotive tires. Let me know if you have any tire questions, or any other auto related questions, I’ll be happy to help.
My free time is filled trying to keep up with the activities of my three boys. 2010 brought the addition of a beautiful baby girl into my family whose glowing smiles and big blue eyes can render the strongest among us defenseless. My children have inspired me to become a “hobby” photographer so, be sure to ask to see pictures of my kids when you come in…. I have lots to show you.
employee Jeannie Muse
- Joined company in 1999
- Associate’s Degree in Accounting
Born and raised in Ypsilanti other than three years in living in Florida, received my Associate’s Degree in Accounting from WCC. I joined Hoover Street Auto back in 1999 when we were still on the Eastside known as Golfside Shell. I had worked for a similar company for 13 years prior to that.
I married my husband Bill in 1988, Bill works for UPS. We have a son in the Air Force who is planning to make it his career. Two daughters in school at EMU, one graduating fall of 2011 with a major in Communications, minor in Spanish & the other majoring in Speech Pathology, due to graduate in 2013.
My “hobby” for the last 12 years has been “Volleyball Mom”. I’ll be looking for new hobbies soon.

I love boating, fishing and summer drives in my 1977 Corvette. However, remodeling my house one room at a time has kept me very busy lately.
employee Jeremy Poegel
- ASE Certified Technician:
- - Electrical/Electronic Systems
- - Engine Performance
- - Engine Repair
- - Brakes
- Chrysler Factory Trained Technician
- Electrical Engineering BA degree, University of Michigan
- Hoover's electronics expert
- Auto Repair Technician since 1998
I grew up in the Ann Arbor / Chelsea area, now living on the east side of Jackson. I have an Electrical Engineering BA degree from the University of Michigan. I worked for short time in the engineering field but, found I prefer the hands on environment of an auto technician. The electrical engineering background is big benefit working with the modern day vehicles that have more and more functions controlled by electronics and “computer” modules. I’ve been working professionally as an Auto Repair Technician since 1998. During my time away from work my best buddy Boden (chocolate Lab dog), thinks it should be all about him. However, once in a while I can get away to tour the country side on my BMW Touring motorcycle or cruise the back woods on my trail bike. Of course, the home projects also "demand" my attention on off days. Gabrielle's and my first child, Carson, was born in July 2011... now that’s exciting... and scary all in one.
employee Mark Zdun
- Joined Hoover Street Auto Repair in 2010
I grew up in the Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti area and have been working in the automotive service industry since 1999. My experience is with towing, car stereo, routine maintenance, wheel and tire service.

When not helping Mike, our Service Advisor, I’m taking care of vehicle maintenance needs and I’m the wheel and tire specialist. I also take care of our building repairs and maintenance.
