Engine Machinist

Automotive Machinist

We are looking for an Automotive Machinist to join our successful family owned business of 36 years. We've expanded our facility another 15,000 square feet, and need another great machinist to join our amazing crew. As a machinist, you will be responsible for disassembly of engines, cleaning and inspecting engines, and running multiple different machines in the shop. We understand not many machinists have worked with our specific machines, so we facilitate and train employees in these different operations. Prior machining experience is required for fundamental knowledge. Engine block boring, honing, decking, cylinder head machining, etc are desired. You will need to have some experience with different measuring tools, and we can offer training on our specific tools. For most disassembly work, we will provide a tool box for that work, so you don't need to worry about that. We are the most well equipped shop in the state of Utah, so really anything you need we'll have. We have very experienced people here, so you will be in good hands to learn and grow in the different operations we have. We really need someone to join our expanding shop and add to our team. If you have a good attitude and work ethic, we're sure you'll be able to create a great career here.

Meet Dave

At only fifteen years of age, Dave started fixing cars in southern Florida for a taxi cab and limo company in 1975. Besides throwing a paper route, it's the only job he has ever done. He worked for many different dealerships, mostly European and Japanese imports, before opening his first shop in 1990. He started in an unheated storage shed and the business has grown into a state of the art facility with a 25 bay repair shop and full auto machine shop in Centerville. Dave is an ASE master mechanic with over 35 years experience fixing cars and helping people. He holds a master machinist certificate and is a long standing member of ASA and AAA. Growing up in Florida gave Dave a love of the ocean that has never waned. He loves to tournament fish and has done it all his life. The palm trees in front of the shop are his way of bringing a little bit of Florida to Utah.
