Job description

Done with the city? So are we, on your behalf.

If you're a solid technician sitting in traffic for an hour each way, paying $1,800 for a one-bedroom, and still dealing with shop drama and weekend work — there's a better life two hours north, and we're hiring for it.

Eveleth sits in the heart of the Iron Range: lakes everywhere, real seasons, a house you can actually afford, and a 10-minute commute. Hunting and fishing aren't a weekend escape here — they're Tuesday after work. Duluth and Lake Superior are 45 minutes away if you want a bigger night out. Otherwise, this is small‑town living where your name means something and your neighbors have your back.

We're JM Auto Service — a family‑owned independent shop with a 4.8 Google rating (360+ reviews). We fix cars right the first time, and we treat our techs like family. No drama, no broken tools, no weekend shifts. Just good work, fair pay, and a team that’s got your back.

Why techs are relocating here:

• Monday–Friday only — closed weekends, every weekend
• Cost of living that makes your paycheck actually stretch
• Housing you can buy, not just rent
• No commute worth complaining about
• World-class fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, and hiking out your back door
• A tight-knit community where people still wave at strangers

What the job pays and offers:

• $29–$40/hour, based on experience — competitive for the area, and it goes a lot further here than it did in the city
• 6 Paid Holidays + a Paid Birthday Day Off
• PTO accrual from day one
• 100% paid health insurance & dental
• 3% 401(k) match
• Paid short-term disability + life insurance
• Company-paid training
• Relocation assistance available
• Service advisors who sell your work — flat-rate with real support to max your hours
• Modern tools and equipment, and a team that actually collaborates

We're looking for:

• Experienced technician (ASE preferred)
• Valid Minnesota Driver's License (required)
• Strong work ethic and a team-first attitude
• Someone ready for a shop — and a life — that treats you right

Never been to the Range? Worth a look before you say no.

We're happy to talk relocation logistics, set up a shop visit, or just answer questions about what it's actually like living up here.
