Job description

AUTO MECHANIC / AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN — CORTE MADERA, CA

There’s a certain kind of shop where you grab the first RO, skim it, and immediately know whether today’s going to be a smooth ride or a slow‑motion train wreck. This place consistently lands on the smooth side. You pop the hood, take one look, and instead of thinking “who did this?” you’re thinking, “finally — a shop where the last guy actually knew what he was doing.”

The workflow is tight. The communication is normal‑human. The leadership doesn’t vanish into a mysterious office portal. And the techs? They’re the kind who can hear a failing tensioner from across the parking lot and diagnose a customer complaint before the customer finishes explaining that it “only happens when I’m backing out, turning right, and thinking about my taxes.”

What Your Day Looks Like

• You knock out diagnostics without needing caffeine in IV form
• You handle brakes, suspension, electrical, and engine work like it’s second nature
• You keep customers safe and their vehicles less dramatic
• You work with a team that actually functions like a team
• You get through the day without babysitting chaos

What You Bring

• Real experience as a Mechanic, Auto Tech, or ASE‑style problem solver
• Clean, accurate work — not guess‑and‑pray repairs
• A sense of humor and a low tolerance for nonsense
• Team energy, not lone‑wolf theatricsCertifications help, but skill is what gets you paid

What You Get

• Strong pay that reflects your actual ability
• A shop culture that’s fun without being unhinged
• Updated tools, equipment, and leadership that doesn’t disappear
• A respected dealership group in Corte Madera
• Real opportunities to grow — not the “maybe someday” kind
