• Detail-oriented, with real pride in quality work

Technical Skills

• Foundational understanding of basic electrical theory and safe use of a DVOM (multimeter)
• Comfortable with brakes, suspension and steering, and tire and alignment basics
• Ability to follow service procedures, checklists, and repair orders
• ASE entry-level certification, or willingness to pursue A-series certifications, a plus
• Competitive salary + performance bonus
