Jay's Garage Pictures
Jay Cassill’s love for engines started early—at just 8 years old, he was learning to turn wrenches in his dad’s garage. Since then, his passion for cars, trucks, motorcycles—anything with an engine—has only grown stronger. Growing up in the family car business gave Jay hands-on experience with a variety of makes, models, and the unique problems each one could bring.
In the 1980s, while still in high school, Jay built his own wrecker and launched a towing business—eventually securing a contract with the Iowa State Patrol. His tow truck was even included in his senior pictures!
His natural mechanical talent and deep experience led to a regular spot on WMT Radio’s call-in show “The Expert Hour”, where listeners turn to Jay for honest, straightforward car advice. Jay never liked being called an “expert”—he preferred the term “Car Geek.” So much so, he and host Jim Doyne joked about renaming the show from the start.
In May 2014, the “My Car Geek Hour” was born. Jay teams up every Saturday at 9 AM with host Doug Wagner on WMT AM 600 and nationwide on iHeart Radio. Call the studio on the Fountain Transmission line at (319) 365‑0600, or text questions to the Cedar Rapids Transmission line at (319) 983‑3498
