Motorcycle Technician

Firefly Moto
Charlottesville, VA Full Time | Part Time
POSTED ON 9/18/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 1/15/2027

Firefly Moto is looking for an experienced, well-rounded motorcycle mechanic to join our small independent shop. We work on all makes and models of motorcycles and scooters, so strong general mechanical knowledge, diagnostic ability, and the ability to complete repairs independently are essential.

Responsibilities include:

  • Diagnosis, maintenance, and repair across a variety of makes/models
  • Multipoint inspections and test rides
  • Communicating diagnoses, parts needs, labor requirements, and job status with the team
  • Motorcycle pickup/delivery
  • Cleaning/detailing, parts and inventory, shop organization, and other general shop duties

We're looking for someone who is mechanically knowledgeable, dependable, organized, communicative, and comfortable working both independently and as part of a team. A valid driver's license is required. Technical training/certifications are a plus, but hands-on experience and demonstrated ability matter most.

Pay & Hours

Repair work is paid $20–$30 per completed/billable wrench hour, depending on experience and skill, rather than a traditional hourly or salaried schedule.

We anticipate roughly 20 hours of work per week on average, but hours are not guaranteed and will fluctuate with season and shop workload. Some weeks will be more; some will be less. Hourly non-repair shop work is also available for pickup/delivery, cleaning, organization, inventory, and other shop needs.

There is plenty of opportunity for the right person to take on more hours and responsibility as the shop grows.

Bonus skills: Customer service, service writing, parts sourcing, shop-management software, estimates/labor quoting, photography/social media, or other small-business experience.

First and foremost, we need someone who knows motorcycles, can wrench, communicates well, and works well with a team, and is ready to grow with us.

To Apply

Send your resume or a brief description of your experience, availability, types of work you can perform independently, and your desired billable wrench-hour rate. Feel free to include any additional shop, customer service, service writing, software, parts, or social media experience.

Pay: $20.00 - $30.00 per hour

  • Employee discount
  • Flexible schedule

People with a criminal record are encouraged to apply
