Community Automotive Repair

Job Description

Job Description

The Position

We’re hiring a Lead Technician to raise the bar on quality, speed, and consistency across the shop. This Lead Technician role exists to train and guide the technician team, solve hard problems, and increase customer satisfaction through high quality expertise.

Key responsibilities:
- Coach and mentor technicians on proper diagnostic and repair procedures
- Support complex diagnostics and comebacks with clear direction and verification
- Coordinate with the Shop Manager and Service Advisors to keep work on track
- Complete a limited share of hands-on repair work as needed

Required qualifications:
- Associate/Bachelor’s in automotive technology/engineering or equivalent experience
- Automotive repair experience (imports preferred)
- ASE Master Technician + L1 and current State of Michigan Mechanic Certification
- Valid Michigan Driver’s License; clean/insurable record
- Able to lift up to 70 lbs

If you’re a Shop Foreman–level Technician ready to lead, apply now. How Your Days Run

Your day starts Monday–Friday, 7:30am–5pm, with a quick check-in on the board and current priorities. As the Lead Technician, you’re in the bays early, watching workflow, answering questions, and stepping in when a diagnosis gets stuck. You’ll demonstrate processes in real time, then circle back to confirm the fix and the documentation are right. Between jobs, you’ll sync with the Shop Manager on updates so customers get clear, accurate timelines. You’ll also handle a small set of your own repairs to stay sharp and keep throughput strong.

Comp & Perks

Medical, dental, and vision coverage; 401(k); life insurance; competitive salary; paid time off; paid meals; employee discounts; and a rewards and incentive program.

Our Shop

Community Automotive Repair started in 1975. Our shop is locally owned and operated. We are adding to our team of highly trained professionals. As a Lead Technician you can expect to join a team of the very best technicians in the Greater Grand Rapids area. We offer a stable, secure, and safe working environment. We're a very busy shop and need your help to propel us to the next level. Plus our pay and benefits rock!
