About Us

Our Founding Story

Mentor Mentee began with lessons our founder, Lirel Holt, learned as a young technician working his way through college. The mentors who invested in him shaped his career and inspired decades of work supporting others in the automotive and collision industries.

Lirel went on to found CARSTAR and later co-found S/P2. Across those experiences, one challenge remained consistent: technicians needed structured career progression, and service leaders needed a practical way to track skill development. Mentor Mentee was created to track proficiency based on actual jobs completed, making technician growth visible and easier for teams to use effectively.

Who We Are Today

Today, Mentor Mentee is led by CEO Ron Helmer and a team focused on helping service teams operate more effectively. Shaped by Ron's background as a U.S. Navy veteran, his leadership emphasizes accountability, clarity, and putting people in the right position to succeed.

With a shared focus on operational excellence, Mentor Mentee continues to evolve alongside service teams. As a company, we're committed to building proficiency tracking that supports technician growth while improving how work gets done day to day.
