Job Description

Automotive Technician

Norfolk, VA | $31–$38/hr + OT | Monday–Friday | No Weekends

Tired of flat rate, chasing hours and arguing over flagged time?

This is hourly mechanic work — fix the car, get paid for your time, and go home.

We’re looking for a solid Automotive Technician to join a busy, established shop in Norfolk. There’s always work on the rack with 150 vehicles in reconditioning , plus customer and post-sale warranty work. No shortage of work and no pressure to sell hours.

What You'll Be Doing

• Diagnose and repair all makes and models, with a focus on everyday commuter vehicles
• Suspension, steering, brakes, electrical, drivability and general mechanical work
• Component-level repairs
• Engine and transmission R&R is available if you’re comfortable with it, but not required
• Handle repairs typically running 3–10 book hours
• Use professional scan tools, including Autel
• Work efficiently, diagnose the problem and get the car fixed right

This is a full-service mechanical shop . No body work and limited dealer-level flashing. The crew is already well-rounded — they need another good tech to help keep the work moving.

The Deal

• $31–$38/hr based on experience
• Hourly — NOT flat rate
• 1.5x OT after 40 hours
• Most techs average around 47 hours/week
• Plenty of OT if you want it — some guys work 40, others 50–55
• Monday–Friday, generally 8 AM–5 PM
• No weekends
• Some flexibility on start/end times
• 1 week vacation after your first year
• Paid holidays

A Shop You Can Stick With

This is an old-school shop with old-school values . Three decades in business, strong long-term retention, and not a revolving door.

No politics. No drama. No flat-rate games. No arguing over what you should get paid.

They hire professional mechanics, give them the equipment and supplies they need, and let them fix cars . They’ve continued investing in the shop and their people, including recently upgrading the shop air system.

If you're a dependable B-tech who can diagnose, wrench and get the job done without needing your hand held , this is a place where you can settle in and stay for the long haul.
