Experienced Automotive Technician — Diagnostic / A/C Specialist

ICE COLD AIR DISCOUNT AUTO REPAIR — Clearwater, FL

We are looking for an experienced B+ / A-Level Automotive Technician to join our team. We are an established repair shop specializing in complete automotive repair, diagnostics and A/C service. We are looking for a technician who can diagnose problems, work independently, and produce quality work efficiently.

PAY: $45–$60+ PER FLAGGED HOUR Flat Rate — Performance Based

• Starting rate: $45 per flagged labor hour
• Proven productivity and skill can move you to $50, $55 and ultimately $60+ per flagged hour
• Compensation increases based on demonstrated ability, efficiency, diagnostic capability and quality of work
• Minimum hourly guarantee during periods when the shop does not have sufficient production
• The better you perform, the more you can earn

This is a true flat-rate position. We are looking for technicians who want their earning potential tied to their productivity.

THE TECHNICIAN WE WANT

We are looking for someone who can take a vehicle, diagnose the problem, determine the correct repair and complete the job with minimal supervision.

You should be particularly strong in:

• Electrical diagnostics
• Check-engine-light diagnosis
• Drivability and engine-performance diagnosis
• Scan-tool diagnostics and live data
• Wiring diagrams and electrical testing
• Multimeter and diagnostic equipment use
• Automotive A/C diagnosis and repair
• A/C electrical and control-system diagnosis
• Engine mechanical diagnosis and repair
• Cooling systems
• Starting and charging systems
• Brakes
• Steering and suspension
• General repair on domestic and import vehicles

WHAT WE EXPECT

You should:

• Diagnose problems rather than simply replace parts
• Be able to work independently
• Follow a logical diagnostic process
• Verify failures before recommending repairs
• Work efficiently without sacrificing quality
• Perform repairs correctly the first time
• Be comfortable diagnosing difficult electrical problems
• Be comfortable with modern scan tools and diagnostic equipment
• Communicate clearly with the service advisor
• Complete thorough inspections
• Keep your workspace organized
• Take pride in the quality of your work
• Be comfortable working in a flat-rate environment

A/C EXPERIENCE IS A MAJOR PLUS

A/C is an important part of our business. We are particularly interested in technicians who can properly diagnose and repair automotive A/C systems, including:

• Refrigerant-system diagnosis
• Leak diagnosis
• Compressor and clutch systems
• Evaporator and condenser problems
• HVAC controls
• Electrical faults
• Pressure and temperature diagnosis
• Variable-displacement compressor systems
• Modern electronically controlled A/C systems

We are looking for someone who can diagnose an A/C problem — not simply evacuate and recharge the system.

REQUIREMENTS

• 5+ years professional automotive repair experience preferred
• Strong diagnostic ability
• Strong electrical diagnostic skills
• Strong A/C experience preferred
• Experience with professional scan tools
• Own quality hand tools
• Valid driver’s license
• Reliable transportation
• Ability to work efficiently in a flat-rate environment
• ASE certifications are a plus
• EPA 609 certification is a plus

WHO WILL DO WELL HERE

This position is a good fit for a technician who thinks: “Give me the car and the problem. I’ll figure it out.” If you’re the technician other technicians come to when they can’t figure something out, we want to meet you.

If you are productive, consistently produce quality repairs and demonstrate strong diagnostic ability, there is a clear path from $45 to $60+ per flagged hour.
