Automotive Diagnostic Technician (A-Level) | $30–$60/hr + Overtime | Sherman Oaks, CA Automotive Diagnostic Technician (A-Level) Location: 4601 Van Nuys Blvd, Sherman Oaks, CA 91403 Pay: $30–$60 per hour, based on experience and demonstrated diagnostic ability Schedule: Full-time; Monday–Friday schedule available for the right A-level technician. The shop is also open Saturdays. Pay structure: Hourly, with overtime opportunities as applicable. If you are the technician other technicians call when a vehicle's problem is difficult to pin down, this role is built around the work you do best: test, diagnose, confirm the root cause, and complete the repair correctly. AutoShop Recruiting is partnering with Sherman Oaks Exclusive, an established independent repair shop serving a broad mix of domestic, Asian, European, luxury, and performance vehicles. European-brand experience is welcome, but it is not required. Strong diagnostic fundamentals and the ability to work independently matter most. What you'll do Diagnose complex electrical, drivability, check-engine-light, no-start, intermittent, and mechanical concerns. Build a testing plan using scan-tool data, live data, wiring diagrams, and technical service information. Verify root cause before recommending parts; avoid code-only diagnosis and unnecessary parts replacement. Perform approved diagnostic and repair work, including advanced mechanical repairs when needed. Document findings clearly, complete digital inspections, and verify the repair before the vehicle is returned. Coordinate diagnostic findings with the service team. This is a technician role focused on diagnosis and repair, not selling service work. What you bring Demonstrated A-level automotive repair experience and the ability to diagnose independently from initial testing through repair verification. Strong electrical and drivability fundamentals, including circuit testing and interpretation of scan data. Professional tools appropriate to an experienced technician and an insurable driving record. Clear communication, reliable attendance, and a team-oriented approach. ASE or manufacturer certifications are welcome, but demonstrated ability is more important. European experience is a plus, not a requirement. This opening is intended for an experienced technician who can contribute diagnostic capability from the start; foundational diagnostic training is not the focus of the role. About the opportunity Work in a long-standing independent shop with a varied vehicle mix and a small-team environment. The owner has agreed that a Monday–Friday schedule can be considered for the right A-level technician, while the shop remains open Saturdays. Pay is hourly within the stated range based on demonstrated skills; overtime availability and final schedule should be confirmed during the interview process. All conversations are confidential.
