What are the responsibilities and job description for the Master Diagnostic Technician – German Specialty Repair position at Autobahn Automotive?
Read This First
This is not an entry-level position. This is not a “learn diagnostics as you go” opportunity.
Autobahn Automotive is specifically hiring a high-level technician with strong, proven electrical and diagnostic ability. The right candidate must be highly confident with electrical testing, wiring diagrams, advanced troubleshooting, and complex vehicle systems.
If you are not comfortable diagnosing difficult electrical, network, and intermittent engine faults, this position is not the right fit.
We use factory diagnostic tools, including Xentry, ISTA, ODIS, and other professional diagnostic equipment. This position is for a technician who knows how to test, verify, document, and repair accurately — not guess or throw parts at vehicles.
Who We Are
Autobahn Automotive is a German specialty repair facility serving Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, MINI, Sprinter, and Volvo owners throughout the Jersey Shore.
We have been in business under the same ownership since 2002 and opened our current facility in 2019. We have a strong reputation, 4.9 stars with 500 Google reviews, and service more than 300 vehicles per month.
Our mission is to change the public’s perception of the automotive industry through transparency, integrity, and exceptional customer service.
This is a professional environment built by a Master Technician. We operate with structured workflow, clear expectations, proper equipment, strong advisor support, and a team culture focused on quality. No chaos. No guesswork. No shortcut mentality.
What We’re Looking For
We are looking for a technician who can confidently:
- Diagnose complex electrical issues
- Read and interpret factory wiring diagrams
- Use lab scopes and DVOMs properly
- Perform parasitic draw testing

- Think critically and verify the root cause
- Perform accurate testing before recommending repairs
- Document findings clearly and professionally
- Work efficiently within a structured shop process
- Take pride in clean, high-quality repairs
- Strong German or European vehicle experience is required. Factory or dealership experience with Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, MINI, Sprinter, or Volvo is strongly preferred.
What We Offer
- Excellent pay plan
- 5-day work week; no weekends
- Air-conditioned, clean, professional shop
- 8 paid holidays
- Paid time off
- 50% employer-paid health, dental, and vision insurance

Why This Position Is Different
Autobahn Automotive is not a general repair shop trying to work on everything. We specialize in German and European vehicles, and our facility, equipment, training, and workflow are built around that focus.
Our clients value professionalism, transparency, and proper repairs. Our advisors understand the importance of diagnostics. Our leadership understands what technicians need to succeed because the shop was built by a Master Technician.
If you are a skilled diagnostic technician who wants to work in a clean, organized, German-focused shop where quality matters, we would like to connect.
