This is a hands-on position combining vehicle diagnostics with mechanical repairs. We are looking for someone who can accurately identify vehicle concerns, determine the proper testing procedures, clearly document findings, and complete repairs with confidence and professionalism.

We believe in testing before replacing components and giving our technicians the time, information, and equipment needed to diagnose vehicles correctly. Technicians work together when needed, share ideas, and help solve difficult problems. Asking for another opinion is viewed as teamwork, not weakness.
