Mike Matchell | Owner
Welcome to Sonny’s.
I’m Mike, and I’ve owned Sonny’s for 30 years and have repaired cars for over 35 years. I guess I would say that it’s my passion and my life. I teach my team to work hard to earn your business. Simply put, I want you to be happy when you leave and not choose another repair facility over us.
We know car repairs can be expensive. So, it’s my mission to do our best. It seems to work, and I am blessed and grateful to have our repeat customers and positive Google reviews. I try my best to meet every customer that visits our shop. A handshake and a firm look in the eye tells me how we are doing. You won’t find me hiding away in an office. In other words, if you’re happy, I want to know. If we can make it better, I want to know that too.
A little bit about me. I’m a father of four and live in Labadie, MO. We are into sports. We are involved in our parish and our community. And we enjoy living out in the country.
You can reach me at 636-458-2028 or sonnysautomotive1@gmail.com.
Wayne Matchell | Senior Manager
Welcome to Sonny’s. I’m Mike’s dad, the bald guy with the beard and the head chef who answers the phone and settles the bill with you.
I’ll tell you how much you’ll invest to repair your vehicle. I’ve been working on cars for over 50 years. So, I’m qualified. I know that being without your car or truck is a hassle. So, it’s my job to help get you in and out of the shop as fast as possible.
At Sonny’s, you won’t find massage chairs, Brazilian leather sofas, an Expresso machine, or a 70-inch plasma TV. We do have calendars, but we like it like that. What you will find are experienced mechanics and an honest discussion about what it will take to repair your vehicle properly.
A little bit about me. I’m a father of six and live in Labadie, MO – as luck would have it, right across from my son Mike. I’m involved in our community and live near the church and cemetery. So, it won’t be a long drive to send me off to the promised land when the time comes.
Call me at 636-458-2028 during office hours, or email me at sonnysautomotive1@gmail.com. Yep, for an old bald guy, I know what an email is.
Jennifer Matchell | Business Operations Manager
Welcome to Sonny’s. I’m Jennifer!
I handle the accounting to keep Sonny’s in working order. I’m proud of what we have built and of our loyal customers. Seeing people realize we are a good alternative to big dealership service repair facilities is great and means a lot to me.
So, at Sonny’s, the approach is a bit old-fashioned and simple. That says a lot about Mike, Wayne, our technicians and repair specialists, and our ongoing goal of repairing your vehicle right the first time.
I hope you have an enjoyable experience with Sonny’s. Mike, Wayne, and the team appreciate your business!
