What are the responsibilities and job description for the Automotive Mechanic position at Pat's ProTune?
You’re not looking for another shop that rushes jobs, cuts corners, or keeps you stuck doing the same basic work every day.
And we’re not looking for someone to just do brakes and oil changes.
At Pats ProTune, we handle real mechanical work—engine tear-downs, diagnostics, classics, and in-depth repairs that require experience, patience, and pride in doing the job right.
If you’re the kind of technician who enjoys solving problems, working with your hands, and seeing a job through the right way—you’ll fit here.
What You’ll Be Working On
- Engine tear-downs, rebuilds, and replacements
- Transmission R&R and related work
- Head gaskets, timing components, and internal engine repairs
- Suspension and drivability concerns
- Electrical and diagnostic work (domestic & import)
- Classic and older vehicles, including upgrades and restoration-style mechanical work
This is not a quick-lube environment. This is a shop where your skill set actually gets used.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong, hands-on experience with engine and driveline work
- Ability to diagnose and repair without constant direction
- Comfortable working on a wide range of vehicles (classics, domestics, imports)
- Someone who takes pride in their work and stands behind it
- A-level technician—not an entry-level position
If you need constant oversight, this isn’t the role for you.
If you take ownership of your work and enjoy figuring things out—you’ll do well here.
Shop Environment
- Small, tight-knit team
- High volume, steady workflow (no slow seasons)
- Heated 5-bay shop
- Dedicated engine rebuild room
- Specialty tools and diagnostic equipment provided
We’re building something here—and we want people who want to grow with us.
Schedule
- Monday–Thursday: 8:00 AM – 5:30 PM
- Friday: 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM
- No weekends
Pay & Benefits
- $28 /hour DOE (top pay for experienced technicians)
- PTO accrual after 90 days
- Paid major holidays
- Sick pay after 90 days
- Retirement match after 12 months
- Tool allowance after 12 months
- Bonuses and performance incentives
