BAM! Automotive is looking for an Entry‑Level Automotive Technician who wants more than just a job changing oil and rotating tires.

We're looking for someone who's mechanically inclined, enjoys working with their hands, and wants to become a skilled automotive technician.

Start at $20/hour with the opportunity to earn up to $45/hour within your first year as your skills and performance improve.

You don't need years of experience. You need a great attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to learn.

We're an independently owned automotive repair shop that believes great technicians are developed through training, experience, and working alongside talented professionals.

• Maintenance: Perform oil changes, fluid services, filter replacements, and scheduled maintenance.

Experience is helpful. Attitude and work ethic are essential.

• Genuine interest in automobiles and mechanical systems.
• Basic mechanical knowledge or aptitude.
• Strong desire to learn and improve.
• Attention to detail and pride in quality work.
• Dependability and a professional attitude.
• Ability to follow instructions and accept feedback.
• Valid driver's license.

Automotive experience, technical school, or certifications are a plus, but not required.

Why Work at BAM! Automotive?

We're not hiring someone to change oil forever. We're looking for our next great technician.

At BAM! Automotive, we believe technicians should be highly skilled, respected, and well compensated.

• Earning Potential: Start at $20/hour with the opportunity to reach $45/hour within 12 months.
• Career Growth: Advance from basic maintenance to more complex repairs and diagnostics.
• Training: Learn alongside experienced automotive professionals.
• Professional Shop: Work in a clean, organized facility with modern equipment.
• Quality Work: We believe in doing repairs correctly, not cutting corners.
• Team Environment: Work with people who value teamwork, accountability, and professionalism.

Our Philosophy: Win‑Win‑Win

Every repair recommendation should benefit three parties:

The customer. The vehicle. The business.

We value transparency, professionalism, quality workmanship, and treating people with respect.

Compensation & Advancement

Starting Pay: $20/hour

Potential Pay: Up to $45/hour within 12 months

Advancement is based on technical development, demonstrated abilities, productivity, and performance. The $45/hour rate is an opportunity, not a guaranteed increase.
