A great pay rate doesn't matter if your bays are empty.

Pay is $40–$50/hour based on experience and ability, plus $3–$5/hour for hitting production goals — giving experienced, productive technicians $120K+ earning potential.

You'll have service advisors who know how to sell the work you find and systems designed to keep vehicles moving.

If You're Doing Your Part, We're Going to Do Ours

Occasionally, a slow week happens for reasons outside a technician's control.

When you're showing up, doing your part and taking care of our customers, we're going to take care of you. We don't believe a good technician should take the financial hit for something outside their control.

We Trust Our Technicians

Your professional judgment matters here.

Technicians have input on labor time and a hand in selecting the parts used for repairs. You'll also have access to an extensive collection of shop-owned specialty tools.

A Career That Works for Your Life

Monday–Friday. No weekends. 8 paid holidays, including Black Friday and Christmas Eve. And your birthday off — paid.

PTO is 10 days during years 1–2 and 15 days beginning in year 3.

Already have more PTO? For the right experienced candidate, we'll consider your current PTO when putting together your offer. You may not have to start over just because you're changing shops.
