Meet your Educator, Brandon Johnson
With a career that began in 2007, I’ve spent over 15 years building hands-on experience in the automotive industry—from entry-level shop work to managing the operations of a 14-bay service center. I’ve worked closely with technicians, customers, and service teams, gaining deep insight into what vehicle owners truly need to understand about their cars—and what service professionals need to communicate better. That real-world experience inspired the creation of DriveSmart Auto Academy: a platform designed to close the gap between car owners and the repair process, empowering both drivers and advisors with practical, easy-to-use automotive knowledge.
