Job description

AUTO MECHANIC / AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN — MATTHEWS, NC

There’s a moment every tech knows: you grab the first RO, skim it, and instantly know whether today’s going to be smooth or stupid. This shop consistently lands on the smooth side. You pop the hood, take one look, and instead of thinking “who tormented this poor vehicle?” 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 theatrics
• Certifications 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 Matthews
• Real opportunities to grow — not the “maybe someday” kind
