Job Description

Job Summary

We are looking for an Automotive Technician to join our team at Jenkins Car Care, an independent, family-owned repair shop in Cedar Hill, TN. This isn't a dealership — no corporate red tape, no upsell quotas, just quality repair work in a comfortable, air-conditioned shop that pays like the city without the city commute.

Responsibilities

• Use diagnostic tools and expertise to evaluate vehicle malfunction codes
• Maintain accurate repair status and documentation in Tekmetric
• Carry out routine maintenance — tire rotations, oil changes, brake pad replacements
• Conduct in-depth inspections across all vehicle systems, including engine, transmission, and brakes
• Ensure a high level of customer satisfaction and repeat business
• Convey vehicle repair information to customers and service writers clearly and concisely

Qualifications

• ASE certifications preferred (we'll help fund additional certs once you're on board)
• 5+ years of experience as an automotive technician, or equivalent hands-on training
• Solid understanding of vehicle systems — engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, and diagnostics
• Own set of hand tools (tool allowance provided to help you build out further)
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
• Ability to read and interpret diagnostic codes and technical repair manuals
• Strong communication skills — comfortable explaining repair needs to service writers and customers
• Reliable, punctual, and able to work efficiently in a fast-paced shop environment
• A "never give up" mindset when it comes to solving tough diagnostic problems

We're a growing company with plans to expand to multiple locations across Middle Tennessee, which means real opportunity for techs who want to grow with us — not just punch a clock.

As an Automotive Technician, you'll diagnose and repair vehicles using modern shop management tools (we run on Tekmetric) and stay sharp on the latest vehicle systems. We'll help fund that growth — paid training and ASE cert bonuses are part of how we invest in you.

If you've got a "never give up" attitude and are willing to problem-solve until you find the best fix for the customer, we want to hear from you.
