Classic Car Restoration Technician

Smallenbarger Auto Restoration is a family-owned shop established in 1999, specializing in high-quality classic and muscle car restorations. We are not a production or collision shop—our focus is craftsmanship, attention to detail, and doing the job right.

We’re looking for a highly skilled technician who takes pride in their work and can handle restoration-level body and metal work with minimal supervision.

What You’ll Be Working On

• Full classic car restorations (frame-off builds)
• Metal repair and rust replacement
• Bodywork and panel straightening
• Paint prep and finish work
• Occasional fabrication and assembly work

If you enjoy working on classics and seeing a project through from start to finish, you’ll fit right in.

Responsibilities

• Block sanding and achieving straight panels
• Dent repair and metal finishing
• Welding (MIG/TIG) and fabrication
• Sheet metal repair and replacement
• High-quality prep for paint
• Maintain clean and organized workspace
• Work independently and as part of a small team

What We’re Looking For

• Strong auto body experience (restoration experience preferred)
• Ability to produce high-quality, straight bodywork
• Welding and fabrication skills
• Attention to detail and pride in craftsmanship
• Reliable, self-motivated, and professional
• Ability to think through problems (not just follow instructions)

Pay & Benefits

• $30–$38/hour based on skill and experience
• Full-time, steady work (no flat-rate chaos)
• Paid Time Off
• Work on high-end classic builds—not insurance work

Why Work Here

• Family-owned and operated since 1999
• Focus on quality over speed
• Consistent workflow of classic restorations
• No insurance jobs or rushed production work
