Kez Casey migrated from behind spare parts counters to writing about cars over ten years ago. Raised by a family of automotive workers, Kez grew up in workshops and panel shops before making the switch to reviews and road tests for The Motor Report, Drive and CarAdvice. Prior to life as a motor noter, Kez worked various roles within dealerships, from detailing to sales, before settling into service and parts departments with brands like Toyota, Renault, Kia and Mercedes-Benz. Looking back further still, Kez’s older brothers were in the panel trade, so after school many an evening was spent bleeding brakes, disassembling and reassembling cars, trucks and tractors or wet-sanding, buffing, and final-finishing – building an eye for detail in the process.
