Job Description

Automotive Technician (Drivetrain Specialist)

Are you a diagnostic wizard who lives for the complex puzzles found inside a powertrain? Our shop specializes in the "heavy lifting" of the automotive world— Engines and Transmissions . We are looking for a skilled Automotive Technician who prioritizes precision over speed and understands that a quality repair starts with an expert diagnosis.

If you’re tired of doing oil changes and tire rotations all day and want to focus on high-level mechanical surgery, we want to talk to you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Advanced Diagnostics: Utilize scan tools, lab scopes, and physical inspections to accurately diagnose internal engine failures and transmission malfunctions (automatic and manual).
• Engine Service: Perform everything from timing belt replacements and head gaskets to complete engine long-block swaps and rebuilds.
• Transmission Specialist: Remove, shift-kit, repair, or replace transmissions, transaxles, and transfer cases.
• Drivetrain Maintenance: Diagnose and repair differentials, CV axles, and driveshafts.
• Quality Control: Conduct thorough road tests to ensure all repairs meet our "fixed right the first time" standard.
• Documentation: Maintain clear, organized records of diagnostic steps and parts required for service advisors and customers.

Qualifications & Skills:

• Experience: Minimum of 3–5 years of professional experience specifically focused on engine and transmission repair.
• Technical Savvy: Proficiency with modern diagnostic equipment (Snap-on, Autel, etc.) and information systems like AllData or Mitchell1.
• Certifications: ASE Certifications (specifically A1 Engine Repair and A2 Automatic Transmission) are highly preferred but not required if you have equivalent "wrench time."
• Tools: Must possess a complete set of professional-grade hand tools and air/power tools.
• Physical Stamina: Ability to lift heavy components and spend the day on your feet in a fast-paced shop environment.

What We Offer:

• Competitive Pay: Top-tier hourly or flat-rate pay based on experience and efficiency.
• Focused Work: No "fluff" jobs. You’ll be working on the most technical and rewarding aspects of automotive repair.
• Equipment: Access to the latest specialty tools, lifts, and software updates.
• Growth: Paid training and support for further ASE certifications.
• Culture: A team of like-minded gearheads who take pride in their craft.
