This is a full-time, hands-on position for a skilled technician who can accurately diagnose difficult mechanical and electrical problems, complete repairs, oversee shop workflow, and assist other technicians when needed. This is not a desk-only management position—you will work directly on vehicles while helping ensure repairs are completed correctly and efficiently.

Responsibilities:

• Diagnose check-engine lights, drivability concerns, electrical faults, no-start conditions, and communication-system problems
• Perform engine, transmission, brake, suspension, steering, cooling-system, HVAC, and general automotive repairs
• Use professional scan tools, wiring diagrams, multimeters, test lights, and technical repair information
• Inspect vehicles and determine the correct repairs needed
• Help assign and coordinate work with other technicians
• Assist less-experienced technicians with difficult repairs and diagnostic problems
• Verify completed repairs before vehicles leave the shop
• Clearly communicate repair findings, required parts, and estimated completion times
• Maintain a clean, safe, and productive work area
• Help keep dealership inventory and customer vehicles moving through the shop efficiently

Qualifications:

• Strong professional automotive repair experience
• Advanced mechanical and electrical diagnostic skills
• Ability to read wiring diagrams and technical repair information
• Experience using professional automotive scan tools and diagnostic equipment
• Ability to perform both major and minor automotive repairs
• Experience working on domestic, Asian, and European vehicles
• Leadership skills and the ability to guide other technicians
• Valid driver’s license and dependable transportation
• Must have personal automotive tools appropriate for an experienced technician
• Dependable attendance and a strong work ethic
• ASE certifications are preferred but not required

Compensation will be based on experience, diagnostic ability, productivity, and leadership skills.
