About Us – Daniel Island

Our Journey Begins

In the heart of summer 2023, Wright Auto Works opened its doors in Loganville, followed closely by our Charleston branch on Daniel Island. The dynamic duo of Samantha and I, as co-founders, had a vision: open Samantha’s shop first and mine a year later. But, as luck would have it, we stumbled upon a gem of a location, leading to our Daniel Island shop springing up just six months after Loganville’s debut.

More Than Just a Repair Shop

What sets Wright Auto Works apart? It’s simple: our unwavering commitment to top-notch customer service. We’re all about honesty, trust, and a straightforward approach. Our goal? To forge lasting bonds with our customers, growing steadily through positive experiences. We believe in transparency, inviting customers to see exactly what’s going on with their cars, explained directly by our skilled technicians. This no-nonsense, transparent approach has earned us a reputation for trustworthiness.

The Drive Behind Our Passion

My love for fast cars goes way back to childhood. Counting tailpipes in parking lots was my hobby! Clemson University honed my business acumen (Go Tigers!), as I always dreamed of merging my passion for cars with my entrepreneurial spirit. From the thrilling world of performance and modification to managing a Mercedes-Benz service center, my journey led me through various automotive adventures. Samantha and I crossed paths in Atlanta – she even fired me once! – but we stayed friends. After managing Eurofed in Atlanta and a performance shop in Virginia, I returned to Charleston with my family. There, Wright Auto Works transitioned from a dream to reality.

Meet Our Charleston Team

Our Daniel Island team, though small, is mighty! Rich Bolton, our shop foreman, brings extensive experience from his time with luxury makes like Volvo and Porsche. His diagnostic skills are second to none. Decker Ellis, with his background in high-end vehicle repair, adds another layer of expertise to our team. Kenneth Brown, James Howley and Parker Smith joined us recently, and help us with general repairs and maintenance. They make up the remainder of our team of five technicians with varied backgrounds in all different makes and models. Parker specializes in European vehicles and is a whiz at alignments. Each member’s unique skills contribute to the exceptional service we provide.

A Glimpse Into My World

Outside the shop, I cherish moments with my two sons, Patrick and Andrew. Our shared love for car shows and automotive YouTube videos hints at their budding enthusiasm for cars. I also relish snow-skiing, water activities, and adrenaline-packed track days with my M2.

Family: The Heart of It All

Matthew Jovaneli, my husband since 2017, works in tech in Charleston. Our family grew in December 2023 when we adopted two brothers, Patrick and Andrew. Embracing the challenge of parenting, we’re learning and growing every day with support from our incredible families. It’s true what they say: it takes a village to raise children!
