About AccuTune Off-Road & Ride Shocks Founded in 2015, AccuTune Off-Road was built on a simple idea: provide the highest quality suspension products, backed by unmatched technical knowledge and customer service. We specialize in premium off-road suspension systems for Toyota, Jeep, Ford, Chevy, and Ram trucks and SUVs, combining industry-leading products with custom shock tuning to deliver exceptional ride quality and performance. Building on that foundation, we launched Ride Shocks—our own line of premium shock absorbers and suspension components designed from the ground up to raise the standard for the off-road industry. As we continue to grow, we're expanding beyond product sales to offer professional installation services that match the quality and attention to detail our customers expect from the AccuTune name. How You Can Help Us Grow We're looking for someone to help build the installation department the right way. Initially, you'll perform suspension installations, alignments, troubleshooting, and quality inspections while helping us develop the processes, standards, and work instructions that will allow the department to scale efficiently. As demand grows, you'll play an important role in expanding installation services into a dedicated facility and helping establish one of the most respected off-road installation shops in Southern California. This is an opportunity to help build something from the ground up. About You The ideal candidate is an offroad enthusiast who spends their weekends in the garage or on the trail. You have experience installing suspension and understand why ride quality matters. You care equally about doing high quality work and completing the job on time. If you want to work for a company that values engineering, quality, and continuous improvement—and gives you the opportunity to help build something new—we'd love to meet you. What Does Success Look Like? Success in this role means becoming a trusted technical expert who consistently delivers high-quality work with minimal supervision. You take pride in doing things correctly the first time, communicate well with both customers and coworkers, and enjoy working in a collaborative environment where everyone helps each other succeed. You're comfortable installing suspension systems, shocks, springs, control arms, bumpers, lighting, and other common off-road upgrades while performing alignments and diagnosing installation-related issues. Prior experience rebuilding or servicing shocks isn't required—we'll teach you that. What matters most is that you're experienced, process-oriented and always looking for ways to improve. Benefits & Career Advancement AccuTune Off-Road offers the stability of an established company with the opportunity to help shape its future. We've been serving the off-road community since 2015 and continue to grow through innovation, engineering, and exceptional customer service. We provide competitive compensation, a 3% company 401(k) contribution, 90% company-paid health insurance, 50% paid dental insurance, paid vacation, paid holidays, and a team-oriented culture that values doing it right.
