• Production Pay Above 40 Hours — flagged hours above 40 are paid at 2x your established guaranteed hourly rate. A technician established at $45 per hour can earn $90 per hour on qualifying flagged hours above 40.

• Monday-Friday Schedule — 8:00 AM-5:30 PM.

• Compensation based on your experience, certifications, diagnostic ability, and proven skill level.

• manufacturer training and continued development opportunities.

• Opportunity to work on complex diagnostics, warranty repairs, and higher-level technical work.

• Supportive leadership focused on building a strong, properly staffed service operation.

• Long-term career opportunity with a family-owned automotive organization.

• A technician who takes pride in their skill and wants compensation that recognizes it.

• Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Ford, or other manufacturer experience can be valuable, but technicians from other OEM backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

You've invested years developing your technical ability. Your next opportunity should provide stability, recognize your skill level, and give you meaningful upside when your production reflects that ability.
