What are the responsibilities and job description for the Advanced Automotive Technician position at Absolute Air & Auto Repair?
ADVANCED AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN
Absolute Air & Auto Repair - Springfield, OR
70, 000-90,000 / year - Not Flat Rate
There comes a point in your career where you stop looking for just another job.
You want a shop that invests in its people, buys the right equipment, takes pride in quality work, and actually has a vision for where it's going.
That's exactly what we're building at Absolute Air & Auto Repair.
We've been serving Springfield since 1999, but the last few years have been some of the biggest in our history. We recently purchased another repair shop, expanded to two buildings on three acres, and now operate with 19 bays and 15 lifts. We're continuing to grow because we believe in investing in the business, our customers, and our team.
We're looking for an experienced technician who enjoys difficult diagnostics, takes ownership of their work, and wants to be part of something that's still growing.
This Is More Than Parts Swapping
We specialize in solving the repairs that other shops struggle with.
You'll work on everything from drivability concerns and electrical issues to A/C systems, diagnostics, fleet vehicles, and just about everything in between.
When someone gets stuck on a difficult diagnosis, we don't point fingers. We grab another set of eyes and solve it together. Nobody here knows everything, and that's exactly how we like it.
We Believe Great Shops Are Built Differently
Attitude is important here, a few years ago, we let our highest-producing technician leave because his attitude was hurting the rest of the team.
It wasn't an easy decision.
It cost us production.
We'd make the same decision again tomorrow.
Production matters.
People matter more.
If you're looking for a shop full of egos, this isn't it.
If you're looking for a team that enjoys helping each other become better technicians, you'll fit right in.
Compensation & Benefits
$70,000-$90,000 annually

- Hunter Hawkeye Elite Alignment System
- Road Force Wheel Balancer
- PicoScope
- Factory software for multiple manufacturers

And we're not stopping there.

We Don't Micromanage
If you show up ready to work, stay productive, and take pride in your repairs, we'll give you the freedom to do your job.
