Job description

Location: Southgate, MI
Schedule: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM-6:00 PM; Saturday, 8:00 AM-12:00 PM
Pay Rate: $40-$56 per flagged hour, based on experience
Pay Type: Flat Rate with $600 Weekly Guarantee
Pay Schedule: Weekly
Earning Potential: $150,000+ annually

Introduction

We are seeking an experienced A-Level or B+ Automotive Technician in Southgate, MI who knows their way around an engine bay, enjoys solving a good diagnostic mystery, and believes the parts cannon should never be the first diagnostic tool.

Here's the deal:

$40-$56 per flagged hour, a $600 weekly guarantee, weekly pay, and the potential to earn over $150,000 annually. You'll have modern diagnostic equipment, opportunities to sharpen your skills, and a team that values technicians who know how to get the job done right.

Already an A-Level diagnostic pro? Great. A strong B+ Tech ready to level up? We'd like to meet you, too.

Key Responsibilities

• Diagnose and repair complex automotive problems, including check engine lights, engine performance issues, and those mysterious problems that only seem to happen when the customer is driving.
• Put your diagnostic skills to work using Autel, Snap-on, and Launch scan tools. We prefer accurate testing over throwing parts at a problem and hoping for the best.
• Diagnose and repair domestic, Asian, and European vehicles with precision and efficiency.
• Complete digital vehicle inspections using Tekmetric and clearly communicate repair findings to Service Advisors.
• Deliver quality repairs while keeping productivity moving and comebacks to a minimum.
• Diagnose and repair vehicles across domestic, Asian, and European makes and models within your experience and skill set.
• Use Autel, Snap-on, and Launch diagnostic tools to identify vehicle concerns and determine the right repair approach.
• Complete accurate, efficient repairs without cutting corners.
• Perform digital vehicle inspections using Tekmetric and communicate findings with the team.
• Take advantage of training opportunities to build advanced diagnostic skills and work toward A-Level capabilities.

Qualifications

We're looking for technicians who know their stuff, take pride in their work, and understand that sometimes the best tool in the box is a little patience and a good wiring diagram.

• 5+ years of professional automotive repair experience required.
• Strong automotive diagnostic and troubleshooting skills.
• Experience working on domestic, Asian, and European makes and models.
• Michigan State Mechanics Certificate(s) required.
• Comfortable using modern diagnostic equipment and automotive shop technology.
• ASE certifications are a plus, but not required.
• Ability to work efficiently, communicate with the team, and deliver quality repairs in a busy shop environment.

You don't need to know everything about every vehicle. But you should know how to figure things out without guessing.

Your skills deserve more than a pat on the back and another repair order.

Here's what this opportunity offers:

• $40-$56 per flagged hour, based on experience.
• $600 weekly guarantee under the flat-rate pay plan.
• $150,000+ annual earning potential based on production and the pay plan. Actual earnings vary and are not guaranteed.
• Weekly pay because waiting for payday is nobody's favorite hobby.
• Medical and dental benefits.
• 401(k) with 3% company match after 90 days.
• Life insurance.
• Paid time off and paid holidays.
• Training and professional development opportunities.
• Uniforms provided and professionally laundered. That's one less pile of shop clothes to deal with at home.

Why Work Here?

Good technicians need more than a toolbox and a parking spot.

This is an opportunity to work in a professional, fast-paced automotive repair environment where your experience matters and continued development is encouraged.

Modern diagnostic equipment:

Work with Autel, Snap-on, and Launch scan tools, plus Tekmetric for digital vehicle inspections.

Variety that keeps you sharp:

Service domestic, Asian, and European vehicles. There's always another diagnostic puzzle to solve.

Room to grow:

Already an A-Level Technician? Put those advanced skills to work. Strong B+ Technician? Build your diagnostic abilities through available training.

A team-focused environment:

Quality repairs, clear communication, and efficient workflow matter here. The goal is to get vehicles fixed correctly and customers safely back on the road.

And yes, we know the difference between a technician who diagnoses problems and one who just clears codes. We're looking for the first kind.

Additional Requirements

Some positions may require a valid driver's license, motor vehicle record review, background screening, drug or alcohol screening, or other job-related pre-employment requirements based on the duties of the position, the client's lawful requirements, and applicable law. Any screening will be conducted at the legally permitted stage and in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local law. Qualified applicants, including those with criminal histories, will be considered in accordance with applicable law.
