Automotive Mechanical Technician – Mobile & In-Shop

About the Position

We are seeking an experienced, dependable Automotive Mechanical Technician to join our growing automotive service operation. This is a hybrid position combining traditional in-shop automotive repair with mobile mechanical service at customer and fleet locations.

This is not a diesel technician position. Our mechanical service operation focuses on gasoline-powered passenger vehicles, SUVs, light-duty trucks, and vans.

The ideal candidate is a well-rounded technician who is comfortable diagnosing problems, completing repairs independently, communicating professionally with customers, and working both in a fully equipped shop and in the field.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in doing the job correctly, maintains a clean and safe work environment, and understands that providing an excellent customer experience is just as important as completing a quality repair.

Schedule

This is a full-time position working a consistent four-day schedule:

• Sunday–Wednesday
• Wednesday–Saturday

Technicians will generally work four 10-hour shifts per week. Schedule assignment may be based on business needs, experience, and availability.

Responsibilities

• Diagnose mechanical and electrical problems on gasoline-powered passenger vehicles, SUVs, light trucks, and vans
• Perform automotive repairs and maintenance both in-shop and at mobile service locations
• Complete oil changes and preventative maintenance services
• Perform brake inspections, brake repairs, and component replacement
• Diagnose and repair steering and suspension systems
• Perform battery, starting, and charging system diagnosis and repair
• Diagnose check-engine lights and other vehicle warning systems
• Perform cooling system diagnosis and repairs
• Complete belt, hose, fluid, filter, and routine maintenance services
• Perform minor engine and drivability repairs
• Use professional diagnostic equipment, scan tools, and service information
• Conduct vehicle inspections and identify current and future repair needs
• Accurately document inspections, diagnostic findings, repairs performed, and recommended services
• Provide accurate information needed to prepare repair estimates
• Verify completed repairs and perform quality-control checks
• Maintain tools, equipment, service vehicles, and work areas in clean and safe condition
• Properly maintain and account for parts, supplies, fluids, and equipment used during mobile service
• Communicate professionally with customers regarding vehicle concerns and completed repairs
• Work with other technicians and management to efficiently schedule and complete repairs
• Follow all company safety procedures and industry-standard repair practices

Diesel diagnosis and repair are not part of this position.

Mobile Service Responsibilities

This position includes regularly performing repairs away from the shop.

The technician must be comfortable:

• Traveling to customer, business, and fleet locations
• Working independently without direct supervision
• Determining whether a repair can safely and appropriately be completed in the field
• Maintaining an organized mobile service vehicle
• Safely transporting tools, equipment, fluids, and parts
• Communicating with customers at their homes or businesses
• Providing the same professional quality of service in the field that customers would receive at the shop

Jobs that cannot safely or efficiently be completed in the field will be scheduled for completion at the shop.

Qualifications

Required:

• Professional automotive repair or mechanical experience
• Strong understanding of gasoline-powered automotive systems
• Ability to independently diagnose common mechanical problems
• Experience using automotive scan tools and diagnostic equipment
• Ability to perform repairs without constant supervision
• Valid driver's license
• Acceptable motor vehicle record
• Ability to safely operate customer and company vehicles
• Ability to lift and move automotive parts, tires, tools, and equipment as required
• Ability to work outdoors when performing mobile services
• Reliable attendance and professional communication skills

Preferred:

• 3 years of professional automotive repair experience
• ASE certifications
• Experience working on multiple vehicle makes and models
• Fleet maintenance experience
• Mobile automotive repair experience
• Advanced electrical and diagnostic experience
• Experience servicing gasoline-powered light-duty trucks and vans

ASE certification is preferred but not required for an experienced technician who can demonstrate strong diagnostic and repair abilities.

What We're Looking For

We are especially interested in technicians who:

• Take ownership of their work
• Diagnose problems rather than simply replacing parts
• Work efficiently without sacrificing quality
• Can operate independently in a mobile environment
• Treat customer vehicles with care
• Communicate clearly and professionally
• Maintain an organized work area and service vehicle
• Understand the importance of accurate documentation
• Are comfortable working in a growing operation where responsibilities may evolve
• Want an opportunity to grow as the automotive service business expands

Compensation

Competitive hourly compensation based on experience, certifications, and diagnostic ability.

Opportunities for increased compensation and advancement are available as the operation grows.

Final compensation will be discussed based on the candidate's experience and demonstrated capabilities.

Benefits

Benefits and additional compensation opportunities may include:

• Full-time employment
• Four-day workweek
• Consistent schedule
• Paid time off
• Employee discounts
• Training and professional development opportunities
• Opportunities for ASE certification and continued technical education
• Advancement opportunities as the automotive service operation expands

Specific benefits and eligibility will be discussed during the interview process.

Work Environment

This is a hands-on technician position, not a desk-based role. Work will be divided between our automotive service facility and mobile repair locations.

Technicians should expect to work in typical automotive shop conditions as well as outdoor environments when performing mobile repairs.

Safety, workmanship, professionalism, and customer service are expected on every job.
