What are the responsibilities and job description for the Automotive Technician - BMW Dealership position at Century Automotive Group?
Century BMW of Huntsville - BMW Technician
We're family-owned, we've been in Huntsville almost 60 years, and we run a shop most techs wish they worked in.
Here's the real pitch: you're not turning economy cars all day. You're working exclusively on BMW - which means higher-dollar repair orders and more hours per car. BMW isn't just a name on the building either - Consumer Reports ranked BMW the #2 overall brand and the #1 luxury brand in its 2026 rankings, and the brand's been on a real run in the U.S. market, outgrowing the competition for several quarters running. You're working on a brand that's winning, at a dealership that's been part of this community for six decades.
Shop's climate-controlled, so you're not sweating through summer or freezing in January. Equipment's current - factory diagnostic tools, no fighting outdated gear to get a job done. We provide the toolbox - you don't have to walk in with a full setup on day one.
Experienced techs and techs early in their career are both welcome. If you're newer to the trade, we run an apprentice program - you'll learn hands-on under our master techs and work toward BMW certifications instead of guessing your way through it alone.
What you'll be doing:
- Diagnostic and line tech work on BMW vehicles
- Routine inspections and maintenance
- Full system troubleshooting with factory tools (BMW ISTA and similar)
- Working with service advisors on what a car actually needs
- Test drives to confirm the repair before it goes back to the customer
- BMW factory training - paid, ongoing, keeps you current as the technology changes
What we're looking for:
- European or highline experience preferred, but not required - apprentice-level candidates welcome
- Strong mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn diagnostics
- Comfortable running or learning OEM diagnostic software
- Valid driver's license
- Can pass a background check and drug screen
What you get:
- Competitive flat rate pay - luxury vehicles mean more hours per RO
- Toolbox provided
- Climate-controlled shop with current equipment
- Apprentice program with hands-on training under master technicians
- Relocation bonus for qualified candidates
- Medical, dental, vision
- 401(k)
- Flexible spending
- Short- and long-term disability
- Paid vacation and sick time
- Employee vehicle purchase and referral programs
- Ongoing paid training and a real path to advance
