About Us

Huddleston’s Garage is a growing, veteran-owned, family-operated independent automotive repair shop in Avon, Indiana. We service all makes and models, including domestic, Asian, European, gasoline, and diesel vehicles.

Our shop owner is a Master Automotive Technician who understands firsthand what it’s like to work in the shop. We understand the challenges technicians face, the importance of having the right equipment, and the value of being compensated fairly for your knowledge, experience, and hard work.

We aren’t looking to operate like a typical dealership. We want to create a workplace where skilled technicians are respected, supported, and rewarded for their productivity without the pressure and uncertainty of flat-rate pay.

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced A-Level Automotive Technician capable of independently diagnosing, repairing, and replacing automotive components with little to no assistance.

Our shop handles everything from routine maintenance to advanced electrical diagnostics, drivability concerns, engine and transmission replacements, and major mechanical repairs.

We need someone who can confidently take a vehicle from initial diagnosis through completed repair while maintaining high standards for efficiency and workmanship.

Responsibilities

• Independently diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, and drivability concerns.
• Perform advanced diagnostics using professional scan tools, wiring diagrams, and testing equipment.
• Diagnose and repair engines, transmissions, suspension, steering, brakes, HVAC, and electrical systems.
• Perform major mechanical repairs, including engine and transmission replacements.
• Diagnose electrical faults, CAN bus communication issues, and module-related concerns.
• Complete repairs efficiently and correctly with minimal supervision.
• Accurately document diagnostic findings and completed repairs.
• Perform quality-control inspections and verify completed repairs.
• Assist less-experienced technicians when needed.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work environment.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional automotive repair experience preferred.
• Strong A-Level diagnostic and mechanical repair abilities.
• Experience working on multiple makes and models.
• Strong electrical diagnostic and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to independently identify root causes rather than simply replace parts.
• Experience with major mechanical repairs.
• Ability to efficiently use diagnostic equipment and repair information.
• Must own a professional set of automotive tools.
• Valid driver’s license.
• ASE certifications preferred but not required.

Compensation & Monthly Production Bonuses

This is an HOURLY position, NOT flat rate.

We offer consistent hourly compensation because we believe technicians should be paid for their time, knowledge, and experience.

In addition to hourly wages, we are developing a monthly production bonus program designed to reward technicians for efficiently completing repairs and helping move vehicles through the shop.

Our goal is to reward technicians who consistently complete quality repairs, maintain strong productivity, and help increase the number of vehicles successfully repaired and delivered to customers.

Quality always comes first. We want vehicles completed efficiently, but never at the expense of proper diagnostics, workmanship, or safety.

What We Offer

• $35–$40 per hour, depending on experience.
• Hourly compensation with no flat-rate pay structure.
• Consistent full-time hours.
• Monthly production bonus opportunities (program being developed).
• Overtime opportunities based on workload.
• Professional diagnostic equipment and service information.
• A wide variety of vehicles and repair opportunities.
• Direct access to a Master Technician shop owner who understands the industry.
• A growing independent shop with opportunities for advancement.
• Veteran-owned, family-operated work environment.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a true A-Level Technician who can work independently, solve challenging problems, and take ownership of their repairs.

We understand that no technician knows everything. What matters is having the knowledge, experience, and ability to research, diagnose, and solve problems without needing someone to constantly guide you through the process.

If you’re tired of flat-rate uncertainty and want to work for a shop owner who actually understands what technicians deal with every day, we’d like to hear from you.
