What are the responsibilities and job description for the Automotive Technician position at Rockstar Mechanics?
Automotive Technician
Norfolk, VA | $31–$38/hr OT | Monday–Friday | No Weekends
Tired of flat rate, chasing hours and arguing over flagged time?
This is hourly mechanic work — fix the car, get paid for your time, and go home.
We’re looking for a solid Automotive Technician to join a busy, established shop in Norfolk. There’s always work on the rack with 150 vehicles in reconditioning, plus customer and post-sale warranty work. No shortage of work and no pressure to sell hours.
What You'll Be Doing
- Diagnose and repair all makes and models, with a focus on everyday commuter vehicles
- Suspension, steering, brakes, electrical, drivability and general mechanical work
- Component-level repairs
- Engine and transmission R&R is available if you’re comfortable with it, but not required
- Handle repairs typically running 3–10 book hours
- Use professional scan tools, including Autel
- Work efficiently, diagnose the problem and get the car fixed right
This is a full-service mechanical shop. No body work and limited dealer-level flashing. The crew is already well-rounded — they need another good tech to help keep the work moving.
The Deal
- $31–$38/hr based on experience
- Hourly — NOT flat rate
- 1.5x OT after 40 hours
- Most techs average around 47 hours/week
- Plenty of OT if you want it — some guys work 40, others 50–55
- Monday–Friday, generally 8 AM–5 PM
- No weekends
- Some flexibility on start/end times
- 1 week vacation after your first year
- Paid holidays
A Shop You Can Stick With
This is an old-school shop with old-school values. Three decades in business, strong long-term retention, and not a revolving door.
No politics. No drama. No flat-rate games. No arguing over what you should get paid.
They hire professional mechanics, give them the equipment and supplies they need, and let them fix cars. They’ve continued investing in the shop and their people, including recently upgrading the shop air system.
If you're a dependable B-tech who can diagnose, wrench and get the job done without needing your hand held, this is a place where you can settle in and stay for the long haul.
