Job Description

Job Description

Summary

We’re hiring a high-performing Production Technician who values efficiency, accuracy, and a steady workflow. This role is ideal for someone who wants control over their income through a performance-based pay structure. You’ll handle inspections, diagnostics, maintenance, and repairs while maintaining strong productivity and quality standards. Success in this role is measured by billed hours, diagnostic accuracy, productivity, and process consistency.

If you’re tired of slow shops or unclear expectations, this is a structured, process-driven environment where performance is recognized and rewarded.

What You’ll Do

• Perform diagnostic, maintenance, and repair services based on approved repair orders
• Diagnose drivability, electrical, mechanical, and performance concerns efficiently and accurately
• Complete digital vehicle inspections (DVIs) with detailed notes, photos, and recommended actions
• Review repair orders to confirm scope and parts before starting work
• Perform testing and verification to ensure accurate root-cause diagnosis
• Maintain consistent workflow with minimal downtime
• Communicate delays, additional findings, or parts issues quickly
• Accurately document diagnostics, test results, and completed work in Tekmetric before closing jobs
• Keep a clean, organized, and professional work bay
• Support team members when workload allows
• Follow opening and closing procedures
• Participate in daily huddles and team meetings

What You Bring

• Strong mechanical and diagnostic skills
• Ability to troubleshoot and identify root causes efficiently
• Ability to follow structured workflows and systems
• Excellent time management and task prioritization
• Consistent and accurate digital documentation habits
• Clear, professional communication
• Ability to stay productive in a fast-paced shop
• Team-first mindset

Required Qualifications

• 2–3+ years of professional automotive repair and diagnostic experience
• Ability to perform diagnostics independently
• Valid driver’s license
• Own professional-grade tools
• Experience with shop management software (Tekmetric preferred)
• Ability to meet productivity and performance expectations

Preferred (Not Required)

• ASE Certifications (especially A-Series or L1 Advanced Engine Performance)
• Experience with electrical and drivability diagnostics
• Experience in KPI-driven or performance-based shops
• Proven ability to maintain 80%+ productivity

Performance Expectations

• Minimum productivity: 70%
• Target productivity: 80%+
• Accurate and efficient diagnostics
• Low comeback rate (accuracy impacts earnings)
• Complete documentation on all jobs (notes + photos)
• Participation in monthly and quarterly performance reviews

Schedule & Work Environment

• Monday–Friday: 7:45 AM – 5:00 PM
• Early close Fridays at 4:00 PM
• No weekends
• Clean, organized, process-driven shop

Why This Role Stands Out

• No weekends
• Performance-based pay with upside
• Consistent workflow (no waiting around for work)
• Clear expectations and accountability
• Growth tied directly to measurable performance
• Opportunity to develop advanced diagnostic skills

Job Details

• Department: Service
• Reports To: General Manager
• Employment Type: Full-Time

Apply if you are

• A technician who wants to maximize earnings
  Confident in both repairs and diagnostics
  Frustrated by low workload or inefficient shops
  Motivated by clear goals and measurable performance
  Looking for a shop that values accuracy and efficiency

Compensation

Performance-based tier system tied to:

• Billed hours per day
• Productivity percentage
• Diagnostic accuracy and efficiency

Higher performance = higher earning potential.

You control your income based on output, efficiency, and accuracy.
