Job description

AUTO MECHANIC / AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN — JEFFERSON CITY, MO

Jeff City’s vehicles have one personality trait: chaos. Your job is to tame it.

In Jefferson City, cars don’t just “need a tune‑up.”
They show up with backstories.

You’ll see trucks that have hauled everything from lumber to livestock, sedans that have survived more Capitol‑building traffic than any machine should endure, and commuters who swear their car “only makes the noise when I’m crossing the Missouri River.”

And then there’s the Missouri classic:
“It started acting weird after I drove through that storm… but it wasn’t that much rain.”
(It was absolutely that much rain.)

This shop wants a technician who can handle the full spectrum of Midwestern mechanical madness — the mystery rattles, the “my brother‑in‑law tried to fix it,” the dashboards that light up like a Jefferson City fireworks show, and the engines that sound like they’re filing for retirement.

They want the tech who can diagnose a problem before the hood even pops, who doesn’t panic when a customer says “Google said it might be the timing chain,” and who can bring a vehicle back from the brink with skill, speed, and a little mechanical wizardry.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Real diagnostics — not “swap parts until something surrenders”
• Repairs on domestic & import vehicles
• Maintenance, brakes, suspension, electrical, and engine work
• Keeping customers safe and their vehicles road‑worthy
• Staying busy — this shop does not believe in slow days

What You Bring

• Experience as an Automotive Technician, Auto Mechanic, or ASE Tech
• Ability to diagnose and repair modern vehicles accurately
• Pride in doing the job right the first time
• A team‑focused mindset
• Certifications are great, but not required

What You Get

• Strong pay based on experience & skill
• A shop culture that actually respects technicians
• Updated tools, diagnostic equipment, and support
• A stable, reputable dealership group in Jefferson City
• Real opportunities for advancement
