Driven by Passion, Led by Vision.
Chase Penner
Hello, my name is Chase Penner, and I’m an avid car enthusiast and part-time pet father. My hobbies include bird watching, fishing, car activities, cooking, and traveling.
My relationship with the Manner team goes way back to when I was 12 and met Zach Mann. We became close through working out and video games, and since then, we’ve done everything together—and that won’t stop at Manner. In 9th grade, I met Braeden at lunch, where we talked non-stop about cars and coin collecting. From there, we started hanging out almost daily.
Later on, I ran into Konner at school, wearing an F1 shirt, and found out he was close friends with Braeden. The rest, as they say, is history. After years of friendship, we decided it was time to create something that combined all of our common interests: CARS!
Built on Friendship, Fueled by Determination.
Zack Mann
Hi, I’m Zack Mann. My journey with Manner Auto Group began when I met Chase back in elementary school. We quickly became close friends, and over the years, he introduced me to Konner and Braeden. I had the honor of getting to know them shortly after, and together, we laid the foundation for what would become our team.
I’ve been working on cars professionally for nearly a decade, specializing in Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) and focusing on hailstorm damage and vehicle restoration. Our shared passion for cars grew even more when I introduced Chase to Forza Horizon 4 on Xbox, which ignited the dream that eventually led to the creation of Manner Auto Group.
One memorable chapter of our journey began when my grandma moved out of her longtime home and planned to leave behind a vintage 1960s air compressor. Chase and I immediately saw the potential—it would be the perfect tool to help us launch our vehicle painting efforts. So, we decided to drive across the state to pick it up, just a week before the house was set to close.
We rented a truck from Home Depot and hit the road, but the trip didn’t go exactly as planned. We nearly broke the heavy compressor trying to get it onto the truck, and to top it off, we got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding. Thankfully, my cousin Daylon joined us to help load the compressor, and despite the challenges, we made it home with it. The entire experience became a defining moment for us.
This adventure reflects how we approach everything in the business: relentless, hands-on, and determined to get the job done. It’s these kinds of moments—and our passion for cars—that inspired the creation of Manner Auto Group.
