Are you an experienced service technician who is tired of the flat-rate rat race, chasing hours, fighting chaos, poor dispatch, and sweating through the summer in a shop that does not have your back?

Thornton Automotive Dover is looking for skilled A/B+ Service Technicians who want a better long-term home: a clean, organized, AIR-CONDITIONED service shop with strong family ownership, steady work, modern equipment, and a team that respects good technicians.

We are family-owned, reputable, and have been in business since 1993. We believe technicians should be able to focus on doing quality work without unnecessary drama, disorganization, or pressure from a broken pay system.

PAY & COMPENSATION:
HOURLY PAY + EFFICIENCY BONUS. Competitive hourly pay based on experience, skill level, diagnostic ability, and overall production. You also have the opportunity to earn an efficiency/performance bonus tied to quality work, productivity, and helping keep the shop moving the right way. No flat-rate-only setup. No guessing. No games. Just a better way to pay good technicians.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

• Electrical diagnostics, drivability concerns, CAN/network issues, no-starts, and intermittent problems.
• General A/B+ level service and repair work performed accurately and efficiently.
• Quality checks, verification, and clear documentation of findings.
• Professional communication with advisors and management so the repair process stays organized.
• Help raise the overall level of the shop through quality work and a team-first attitude.
  

WHY TECHNICIANS LIKE WORKING HERE:

• AIR-CONDITIONED / temperature-controlled shop.
• Clean, modern, professional work environment.
• Family-owned business with real leadership and stability.
• In business since 1993 with a strong local reputation.
• Steady workflow and organized dispatch.
• Respect for technicians and their time.
• Investment in equipment, scan tools, and training.
• No corporate nonsense and no flat-rate-only pressure.
• Full-time, consistent schedule.

BENEFITS:

• Low-cost individual health care.
• Paid time off.
• Paid training and certifications encouraged.
• Tool and equipment support.
• Full-time, steady hours.
• Long-term career opportunity.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Proven A/B+ level service technician experience.

• ASE certifications are a plus.
• Tools appropriate for your skill level.
• Quality-minded and team-oriented.
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record; must be insurable.

READY FOR A BETTER SHOP?
