About the Role:

We're a busy, well-established independent auto shop in San Francisco looking to bring on a motivated entry-level automotive technician to join our crew. This is a ground-floor opportunity for someone who's eager to get their hands dirty, learn the trade fast, and grow with a shop that invests in its people.

-Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work on your feet all day
-Reliable, punctual, and eager to learn — GOOD ATTITUDE MATTERS MOST
-Your own basic hand tools preferred but not required

What we offer:
-$22 – $28/hr depending on experience
-Health, dental, and vision benefits after 90 days
