Shannon Auringer & Doug Carey
President • VP of Sales & Operations
Shannon Auringer
Shannon Auringer is the President and co-founder of Fastrac Heliparts Inc., launched in 2016 alongside her business partner, Doug Carey. An entrepreneur for as long as she can remember, Shannon brings 25 years of business experience, a knack for problem-solving, and a talent for turning complex supply chains into reliably delivered parts — often with a smile and, occasionally, sassy remark.
When Shannon started Fastrac, her goal was simple: offer parts at better-than-competitive pricing and put customer service back where it belongs — front and center. She believes business isn’t just about closing transactions; it’s about cultivating trust, one customer at a time. That philosophy shows in every order, follow-up call, and frank conversation with the team. Under her leadership, Fastrac has grown into more than a parts supplier — it’s a community of customers, partners, and employees who know they’ll be treated fairly and respectfully.
Shannon leads with practical optimism, a fierce work ethic, and the confidence that the right part — and the right customer experience — can fix most problems. Outside the office she’s likely plotting the next operational improvement, mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs, or reminding everyone that good service never goes out of style. She can also be found exploring her new home in the Kootenays of British Columbia.

Doug’s practical approach and strategic vision have helped Fastrac expand its global reach and establish strong supplier networks. He is known within the company for making bold inventory investments to ensure customers receive the parts they need when they need them.
