Chris's German Auto is one of those rare places where the work still feels personal. The cars are interesting. The standards are high. The details matter. Customers come here because they want the job done correctly, thoughtfully, and by people who understand that these vehicles are more than transportation. Founded by legendary Porsche expert Chris Powell and now led by professional rally driver and Porsche enthusiast Daria Bakai, Chris's German Auto blends old-school craftsmanship, motorsport roots, and modern shop systems inside a 10,000 sq. ft. climate-controlled facility in Redmond, WA. This is not a basic repair position, and it is not a production-only environment. This role is for a technician who enjoys the thinking side of the work. Someone who can slow down, test properly, follow the evidence, and solve complex concerns instead of guessing or throwing parts at a vehicle. Porsche experience is a plus, but it is not required. We can teach Porsche. What matters most is strong diagnostic ability, solid European vehicle experience, and the discipline to repair vehicles correctly the first time.
