• Strong tool investment, professional habits, and pride in workmanship
• Growth-minded attitude and willingness to train, learn, and develop into more responsibility over time

• Shop-Ware management system
• Top performers are regularly flagging 60-70 hours in a 40-hour week
• Fair flat-rate model designed to support estimate-writing and full vehicle inspections
• No Land Rover, Jaguar, exotics, heavy modification, deletes, or vintage restoration work
• $90,000-$130,000+ annual earning potential for strong performers
• Flat-rate pay based on experience, production, ASEs, and diagnostic ability
• Top local pay range for qualified A-level talent is generally $50-$55/hr
