Job Description
Master Techs:
You ever sit in your truck at the end of the shift... engine off... and just feel it? That thing you can't quite name. Not anger. Not exactly burnout either. Just... this isn't it. Now… Maybe your shop's fine. The check clears. Nobody's yelling at you. But somewhere underneath all that, you know you're better than what you're doing right now. Or maybe you've watched the gravy work go to whoever's buddy-buddy with the front desk, while you get stuck with whatever's left. And maybe, deep down, you're just tired of being good enough to rely on but never good enough to actually get ahead. If any of that sounds familiar... keep reading. That's because The Mechanics Tire & Auto isn't your typical shop. Here, you get 3 bays to yourself. Not shared. Not fought over. Yours. Work gets handed out based on skill and availability, period. No pet techs. No politics. Your foreman actually turned wrenches for years and taught diagnostics at UTI's NASCAR tech school, so he knows exactly what you're dealing with. He's out in the shop with you, not hiding behind a desk. And we're not stuck in place either. We're growing fast... up 40% in revenue this quarter alone ... with real plans to expand. That means steady work, real opportunity, and an actual path toward ownership if that's where you want to go. No weekends. Ever. Not "usually." Not "unless we're slammed." Closed, on purpose, so you get your life back. You don't have to settle for "fine" anymore. So, if that feeling in your truck is telling you it's time... then keep reading. ✅HERE'S WHAT WE PROMISE OUR TECHS

We opened our doors in Locust back in 2017, and we've spent every year since building something the community actually trusts. We're a full-service shop that works on just about everything, domestic, import, Euro, fleet, and light-duty diesel, and we back our work with a 24-month/24,000-mile nationwide warranty. We're proud members of the Automotive Service and Tire Alliance and a TechNet Professional Facility. And we're growing fast. Our owner's got a goal of reaching 10 locations in the next decade, and for the right people, that growth means real opportunity, not just a bigger name on the sign. We're still a team-and-family shop at heart though. Our owner's dad still comes by to take out the trash. That's the kind of place this is.SKILLS AND TRAITS THAT HELP YOU SHINE IN THIS ROLE

Wiring issues, engine and transmission swaps, the stuff most guys shy away from You know how to use ALL-DATA and other resources to run down a problem you haven't seen before You can turn hours and stay productive without someone standing over your shoulder You keep busy and get the job done, but you're personable when the work's finished and part of the team You'd rather figure out a tough diagnostic than hand back the keys and say "couldn't find it" You're comfortable working independently or grabbing the foreman when a second set of eyes helpsREADY TO TALK?
