Hi, I’m Jeff Bahnsen. I started my career detailing cars at 16 and later spent nearly eight years in customer service, building the foundation for how I work with people today. In 2019, I came to O’Daniel as a customer and was impressed by the no-pressure, relaxed environment—an experience that led me to join the team. I’m a proud husband and father of two, grateful to be part of the O’Daniel family, and I enjoy building long-term relationships while providing honest, dependable service. I’m here to help with any of your vehicle needs at O’Daniel Automart / Mazda.
