Automotive Technician

Crest Hill, IllinoisFull-time
$80,000 - $130,000 annually
About the Job
Pull into any of our shops — Rockdale, Crest Hill, or Naperville (coming soon) — and you'll notice the same thing: people who actually like working together. We're a family-owned, ASE-certified team that handles everything from daily drivers to European imports, and we back every repair with a 24-month/24,000-mile warranty. We share tools, share laughs, share what we know, and nobody gets left fighting a stubborn diagnosis on their own. We like to keep things light, we keep each other honest, and we hold a high bar on every job that rolls out the door. If you do great work and want to be part of a crew instead of just another number, you'll fit right in.

Our Mission: We exist to earn lifelong trust—with our customers, our employees, and our community—by delivering exceptional automotive care with honesty, transparency, and genuine respect.

Compensation & Benefits:
  • Flat-rate pay with a minimum guarantee of 32 flagged hours per week (when clocked in for all 40 scheduled hours with no major comebacks).
  • Full health insurance coverage after 90 days.
  • 401(k) with company contribution after 1 year of service.
  • ASE certification reimbursement.
  • 10 paid holidays.
  • Paid time off that grows with tenure — 7 days/year to start, 13 days (years 3–5), and 20 days (5+ years).
  • Monday–Friday work week.

What You'll Do:
  • Diagnose and repair across all systems: engine, transmission, drivetrain, brakes, steering and suspension, A/C, electrical, hybrid, and advanced diagnostics.
  • Complete Digital Vehicle Inspections (DVI) on incoming vehicles and document findings clearly in the shop management system.
  • Work independently to complete repairs correctly the first time, to manufacturer and shop standards (The team will jump in if you get stuck or need help!).
  • Road test before and after repairs to confirm the fix and catch any new concerns.
  • Communicate findings and recommendations clearly to the Service Advisor.
  • Keep a clean, safe, organized bay and follow all OSHA/EPA and shop safety protocols.
  • Support and mentor the team and contribute to a positive shop culture.

What We're Looking For:
  • 5+ years of professional automotive diagnosis and repair experience.
  • Multiple ASE certifications (A1–A8) or ASE Master Technician preferred.
  • Proven ability to work independently across mechanical, electrical, and advanced diagnostic systems.
  • Own a complete set of professional hand tools.
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
  • Ability to pass a background check and authorization to work in the U.S.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and perform physical shop work (bending, kneeling, standing for extended periods).
  • Familiarity with shop management software (Tekmetric, Mitchell, ShopWare, etc.) a plus.
