If you are the guy other techs bring their hard ones to keep reading
We are not looking for a parts changer.

What you will be doing
- Diagnose complex electrical mechanical and drivability problems and get to the actual root cause
- Work from scan data wiring diagrams flow charts and factory service information rather than guesswork

- Complete repairs accurately and efficiently to spec every time
- Document your diagnostic path and your completed work clearly enough that the next person can follow it
- Keep a clean safe organized bay
What we are looking for
- Real automotive diagnostic and repair experience on modern vehicles
- Strong electrical and mechanical troubleshooting skills. Electrical is where most techs tap out. That is where we need you.
- Proficient with professional scan tools and diagnostic equipment
- Comfortable reading wiring diagrams and flow charts
- Working knowledge of computer controlled systems on todays vehicles
- Detail oriented. You verify the fix before the car leaves your bay.
- Able to work independently without somebody standing over your shoulder
- Valid drivers license
- Must have your own complete set of tools including an up to date scanner
Bonus points
- ASE certifications or other industry recognized credentials
- Missouri safety and emissions license
What we offer
- $35 to $60 per hour depending on what you bring with a 40 hour guarantee available
- Top pay in the area for a technician who can produce
- No late nights
- Quality equipment current diagnostic resources and the information you need to do the job right
- Steady full time hours and a consistent work flow
