Job description:

Euro Technicians - Ever feel like you’re the one keeping the shop from falling apart… while everyone else just shows up and collects a paycheck?

Like you’re the one everyone leans on when things get complicated… the one fixing the jobs that come back… the one who actually knows what they’re doing… but none of that really changes how you’re treated, how you’re paid, or how your days actually go.

You don’t complain about it. You just handle it.

But over time… it wears on you.

The messy workflow. The inconsistent hours. The guy next to you cutting corners while you clean it up.

The feeling that no matter how good you are… the shop just isn’t built for someone like you to actually win.

And yeah… the pay might be “fine.”

But you know what you’re capable of.

You know what a good week should look like… and you know you’re not hitting it—not because of you… but because of everything around you.

That’s exactly why Advanced European Service exists.

This isn’t a shop where you come in hoping for a decent week and dealing with whatever gets thrown at you.

This is a structured, high-performance Euro shop where strong techs finally get to operate the way they’re supposed to—steady work, fair dispatching, systems that actually make sense… and a team full of guys who don’t need to be carried.

The result?

Our top techs flag 60-70 hours a week… not because they’re killing themselves—but because the shop is built to let them produce.

No drama. No politics. No babysitting.

Just solid work, real support, and the kind of environment where if you’re good… it actually shows up in your paycheck.

If that’s been missing where you are… keep reading.

✅ HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL FIND HERE:

• $90K–$140K+ per year (depending on experience, skill level, and production)
• Fair dispatching —no “pet techs” getting fed gravy work
• No weekends (Monday–Friday, 8–5)
• 6 paid holidays per year
• Paid vacation (up to 3 weeks)
• Medical, Vision & Dental (50/50 paid – top-tier plan )
• 3% Simple IRA with company match
• Paid training (Euro-specific opportunities)
• Modern shop with up-to-date diagnostic tools
• Clean, organized bays with A/C & heat
• 2 established locations—with a 3rd on the way

✓ WE WILL KEEP YOU BUSY – We’re a well-established, growing Euro shop with aggressive marketing and a strong client base. Our bays stay full so you can focus on producing—not worrying about car count.

✓ OUR SERVICE ADVISORS DELIVER – Our advisors know how to sell the work and keep things moving. Estimates are written properly so you can stay in the bay and flag hours.

✓ NO DRAMA – NO POLITICS – Life’s too short to deal with prima donnas and wrench throwers. We don’t tolerate it… so you won’t have to either.

✓ YOU WILL ALWAYS KNOW WHERE YOU STAND – Clear systems, fair dispatching, and zero favoritism. No “pet techs” getting fed the easy work—everything is transparent and above board.

✓ WELL-ORGANIZED & EFFICIENT WORKFLOW – We run a structured, high-efficiency shop (150%+ productivity). No chaos, no wasted time—just a system that lets you produce.

✓ MODERN SHOP WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS – Clean, well-lit, organized shop with up-to-date diagnostic equipment, scan tools, A/C & heat in bays, and everything you need to do the job right.

✓ YOU WILL NOT BE MICROMANAGED – We hire strong techs for a reason. If you know what you’re doing, we’ll let you do it. Support is there when you need it—otherwise, we stay out of your way.

✓ OPEN-DOOR, TEAM-FIRST ENVIRONMENT – Everyone helps each other out—even on flat rate. Your voice matters, and you’ll always have support from leadership and the team.

✓ WE INVEST IN YOU (REAL GROWTH) – Paid training opportunities (Euro-specific), plus ongoing coaching—not just as a tech, but in your personal and professional life.

✓ NO WEEKENDS – YOUR TIME MATTERS – 5-day work week, Monday–Friday. Weekends are yours (unless you choose to come in and make extra money).

✓ THIS IS A CAREER—NOT JUST A JOB – We’re growing (2 locations with a 3rd on the way), which means real long-term opportunity for the right tech.

✓ YOU’LL BE PART OF SOMETHING DIFFERENT – We’re building more than a shop—we’re building a team that takes care of its people, gives back to the community, and actually gives a damn.

HERE’S WHAT WE STAND FOR AND HOW WE TREAT OUR CUSTOMERS…

✓ 355+ REVIEWS and a 4.8-STAR RATING! – Customers trust us with their European vehicles because we don’t cut corners. We diagnose it right, fix it right, and stand behind the work. That’s why they keep coming back—and why we stay busy. But don’t take our word for it…

ABOUT ADVANCED EUROPEAN SERVICE

Advanced European Service has been serving the Kenmore community since 1997—and we’ve continued building on that reputation ever since. With a second established location and a third on the horizon, we’re not just maintaining a shop… we’re growing something real.

We specialize in European vehicles, and we take that seriously. This isn’t a general repair shop trying to do everything—we focus on precision diagnostics, quality repairs, and doing the job right the first time.

But what really sets us apart isn’t just the work—it’s how we run the shop.

We’ve built a structured, high-performance environment where techs are supported, systems actually make sense, and people are treated like people.

No chaos. No guesswork. No shortcuts.

Our goal is simple: build a place where good techs can do great work… and build a life they’re proud of.

SKILLS AND TRAITS THAT WILL HELP YOU SHINE IN THIS ROLE

• Strong diagnostic ability— you can figure things out without being hand-held
• Experience working on European vehicles (this isn’t a learning-on-the-job situation)
• You take pride in doing the job right —not just getting it out the door
• You’re consistent, reliable, and show up ready to produce
• You don’t make excuses— you find solutions
• You work well with a team and don’t need to be carried
• You care about the quality of your work and the reputation behind it

NOW… If you’re still figuring things out or need constant direction… this probably isn’t the right fit.

But if you’re the kind of tech who can walk into a bay, diagnose the problem, and get it done right… you’ll do very well here.
