Description
Work on the Cars You’ve Always Wanted to Build.
Houston Classic Carport is looking for an experienced Classic Car Technician to join our growing restoration team. This is an opportunity for a technician who knows classic cars, takes pride in their craftsmanship, and wants to work in a shop where the projects are anything but ordinary.
Our technicians have the opportunity to work on iconic classic cars, high-end restorations, custom builds, and true dream vehicles in a professional, state-of-the-art facility. If you enjoy solving problems, building things the right way, and seeing a project transform into something exceptional, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Do
Perform mechanical repairs, restoration, and modifications on classic and vintage vehicles
Diagnose mechanical and drivability concerns
Install and integrate aftermarket performance and modernization components
Work with custom suspension, steering, braking, fuel, cooling, and electrical systems
Install and service aftermarket EFI, A/C, steering, and other modern systems
Troubleshoot electrical and wiring concerns when needed
Perform engine, fuel, ignition, and drivability diagnostics
Modify, fit, and adapt components when off-the-shelf parts aren't enough
Maintain a high standard of workmanship, cleanliness, safety, and attention to detail
Document work performed and communicate repair findings with the shop team
What We're Looking For
We're looking for a technician with proven hands-on experience working with classic cars. This is not simply a general automotive repair position—we're looking for someone who understands the unique challenges of working with older vehicles and custom restorations.
Strong candidates will have experience with:
Classic/vintage automobile restoration and repair
Mechanical diagnostics and troubleshooting
Aftermarket and performance parts installation
Custom modifications and problem-solving
Engine and drivability diagnostics
Suspension, steering, braking, and fuel systems
Welding/fabrication experience is a strong plus, but is not required.
Electrical diagnosis and wiring experience is also a strong plus, but is not required.
Experience with EFI conversions, aftermarket A/C systems, modern steering systems, and other upgrades for classic vehicles is also highly valued.
Above all, we're looking for someone who is experienced, resourceful, detail-oriented, and takes pride in their work.
Compensation & Experience
Technicians with 10+ years of relevant classic-car experience may qualify for a salaried position rather than traditional flag-hour compensation.
