Auto Technicians – Tired of feeling like just another wrench in the machine?

And wishing you could work somewhere that actually invests in your growth... not just your hours?

At Elite Automotive in Covington, we believe good techs deserve more:

  • Top pay, bonuses, and real advancement opportunities
  • Family-first culture with zero drama and strong team support
  • Paid training, up-to-date tools, clean well-organized bays
  • No weekends ever — just real work-life balance
  • Career paths into leadership

We’re not a dealership. We’re not a corporate chain. We’re a fast-growing, family-owned shop where serious techs are valued, respected... and given a future they can be proud of.

So, if you're a skilled technician who’s hungry for more – more respect, more opportunity, more stability... then this could be the best move you make all year.

✅HERE’S WHAT WE PROMISE OUR TECHS:

  • Solid guaranteed base salary ($60K-100K/year)
  • Monthly team bonuses year-end bonus (up to $6,000 extra)
  • 5-day work week (no weekends, ever)
  • Paid holidays (6–8 per year) flexible scheduling when needed
  • Paid time off — grow up to 3 weeks’ vacation

✓ NO WEEKENDS – TRUE WORK-LIFE BALANCE 5-day work week, 8AM–5PM schedule, and flexible time off for family events, doctor appointments, and vacations (up to 3 weeks PTO over time). We believe in family first — no missed games, no missed memories.

✓ STEADY WORK AND GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES Our shops are busy year-round with strong fleet contracts, loyal customer base, and aggressive marketing campaigns — no worrying about slow car counts. Clear paths for advancement if you’re ready to grow your career.

✓ SAFE, MODERN, AND WELL-EQUIPPED SHOP We invest constantly in up-to-date equipment, diagnostic tools, clean facilities, and a comfortable shop environment. We make sure you have everything you need to do your best work — no junk, no frustration.

✓ FAMILY ATMOSPHERE, NO DRAMA We’re proud of our 6-year average team tenure. We treat each other with respect, work as a team, and back each other up. Monthly team lunches, grill-outs, shop meetings, and an annual company dinner — because life’s too short not to enjoy where you work.

✓ YOUR VOICE MATTERS (OPEN-DOOR POLICY) Owners are on-site and accessible. If you have an idea, a concern, or just want to level up, we’re here to support you — not micromanage you. No favorites, no politics, no drama.

✓ GREAT PAY AND BENEFITS – NO B.S. PAY PLAN We offer a steady guaranteed base salary ($60-100K realistic) with monthly team bonuses and a significant year-end bonus (up to $6,000 extra). We offer health/vision/dental insurance (50% employer-paid for employees), and paid holidays (6–8 days/year).

✓ TRAINING AND INVESTMENT IN YOU We pay for your ASE certifications, provide tuition reimbursement for career training, and believe in helping you become even more valuable. If you’re hungry to grow, we’re here to fuel it.

✓ A PLACE TO BUILD YOUR FUTURE This isn’t just another job. It’s a career path. Many of our team members have been with us for years — and we’re just getting started.
