Automotive Technician

Job Type: Full-Time

Are you an experienced automotive technician looking for a shop where you can make a great living, work with modern equipment, continue developing your skills, and still have time for life outside of work?

Fine Tune Auto is a family-owned, multi-location automotive repair company in Northwest Indiana. We're continuing to grow and are looking for skilled Automotive Technicians to join our team.

We're especially interested in technicians who are strong in diagnostics, electrical, drivability, and complex problem solving. If you're the technician other people come to when a vehicle has a difficult problem, we want to talk to you.

At Fine Tune Auto, we invest heavily in our technicians, equipment, facilities, and training. We believe talented technicians should have the tools, information, support, and opportunities they need to perform at a high level and earn accordingly.

Why Fine Tune Auto?

  • Monday through Friday schedule
  • No weekends
  • Air-conditioned shops
  • Modern, well-equipped facilities
  • Consistent workflow and year-round work
  • Most jobs pay more than published labor guide times
  • Many of our technicians consistently flag well above 100% productivity
  • Ongoing technical training and professional development
  • Family-owned and operated
  • Positive, team-oriented work environment
  • Opportunities for advancement as the company grows
  • Technicians are treated as skilled professionals and valued members of the team

We believe you should be able to build a successful career without giving up your family life to do it. Our managers are home for dinner, and we work hard to provide our technicians with the same healthy balance between work and home.

Serious About Diagnostics

We don't believe good diagnostic technicians should have to fight inadequate equipment, outdated information, or a lack of support.

Our shops have invested in the technology needed to properly diagnose today's vehicles, including:

  • OEM diagnostic software for many manufacturers
  • In-house module programming capabilities
  • PicoScope diagnostic equipment
  • Advanced electrical and drivability diagnostic tools
  • Modern John Bean alignment equipment
  • Modern John Bean tire machines and wheel balancers
  • Manufacturer-specific and specialty tools
  • Continually updated diagnostic equipment and technology

Advanced diagnostic ability is a major plus.

We're particularly interested in technicians experienced with electrical diagnosis, drivability problems, network and communication faults, intermittent concerns, scope-based testing, and other difficult vehicle problems.

You don't have to be a diagnostic specialist to apply. Strong general repair technicians who want to continue developing their diagnostic abilities are also encouraged to talk with us.

What You'll Do

  • Diagnose and repair a wide variety of vehicle systems
  • Perform engine, transmission, suspension, brake, HVAC, electrical, and drivability repairs
  • Use modern scan tools, OEM software, scopes, and other diagnostic equipment to accurately identify vehicle problems
  • Complete repairs efficiently while maintaining high standards of workmanship
  • Work with service advisors and other technicians to keep jobs moving efficiently
  • Assist and mentor less experienced technicians when appropriate
  • Maintain a clean and professional work environment
  • Participate in ongoing technical training and development

What We're Looking For

  • Professional automotive repair experience
  • Strong mechanical aptitude
  • Excellent problem-solving skills
  • Diagnostic and electrical experience is highly valued
  • Pride in performing accurate, high-quality work
  • Strong work ethic and positive attitude
  • Ability to work effectively as part of a team
  • Willingness to continue learning as vehicle technology evolves
  • ASE certifications are a plus, but not required

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive compensation with top performers earning up to $150,000 annually
  • Health insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • 3% SIMPLE IRA company match
  • Paid time off
  • Paid holidays
  • Company-provided uniforms
  • Employee discounts
  • Paid training and continuing education opportunities
  • Career advancement opportunities within a growing organization

More Than Turning Wrenches

We're not looking for someone who simply wants to come in, turn wrenches, and collect a paycheck.

We're looking for technicians who take pride in understanding why a vehicle failed, enjoy solving difficult problems, and want to build a long-term career with a company that values technical ability.

Fine Tune Auto continues to invest in training, equipment, technology, and leadership development because the better our people become, the stronger our company becomes.

If you're tired of working weekends, tired of being treated like a number, or frustrated by shops that expect you to diagnose modern vehicles without providing modern equipment, we'd like to talk with you.

Master Technicians, Diagnostic Technicians, and technicians with advanced electrical and drivability skills are strongly encouraged to apply.
