In our system, a technician never has to order parts, as parts are ordered by the Service Manager and Service Advisor. We feel that it’s important for technicians to focus on diagnosing and repairing vehicles that we bring in, and don’t want to burden them with looking through parts catalogs. We only stock essential parts such as oil, oil filters, light bulbs, and wiper blades. All other parts are pulled from local parts stores or dealers, most of which we get same day delivery from. We also have additional staff to do parts runs where needed.

Nothing in the shop on non-personal vehicles. No work on customer vehicles outside of regular hours. Okay to work on family and friends vehicles elsewhere.

Laid back, no time clock, flexible schedule, company provided meals a couple times a month.

Online technical & management classes Classroom options available

Yes. As a smaller shop, we look at our employees like family, and we want to make sure each member is always growing his or her skills. We want to see C level techs become B, and then A. As we grow the business, we want our team to grow with us in terms of skills, knowledge, and compensation

Nothing formal.

No formal process, but because we’re a smaller shop, management takes a lead role in mentorship. Each person in the shop helps each other out. Because we’re not a flat rate shop, we’re able to truly help each other where needed. With younger techs, it really depends on how much experience the younger technician has. We recently had a very inexperienced tech start with us, and we had him shadow one of our experienced technicians for a month. After that, we put him on his own, under close supervision from the Service Manager, to answer questions and offer technical advice where needed. Each person is different, and we treat each training situation as such.

We’re aggressive with our growth goals and have been actively adapting to new technology and are focused on continued growth. We also work with a business management coach who helps us align our goals with executable steps to hit our growth targets.

After you apply, we will reach out to you with a phone call to schedule an in-person interview. Once scheduled, you will come in to meet with the Service Manager. The Service Manager will then do an informal and relaxed one-on-one to get to know you, your abilities, and to get an idea of what you’re looking for in a shop. Interviews typically take between a half hour and an hour.

While we don’t do any formal testing, our interview process helps us get an idea of your skill level and personality. Culture is really important to us, and getting the right personality mix in the shop makes everybody's lives easier, so we really want to focus on understanding if you would fit into our culture.

We don’t do any physical skill assessment, but we do dive into details with technical skills during the interview process. The Service Manager was promoted from a technician role, and has a good technical understanding. This allows us to have quality conversations around your work experience, education, and training.

48 hour maximum. It is important to us to clearly communicate where each applicant stands in the process. Our goal is to give an answer even faster than this, but you will hear back from us no later than 48 hours after an interview.

1 week maximum. With our management system, the process typically moves along fairly quickly. Once an application is submitted, our management team immediately looks at the applicant and determines if there is a possibility that the person would fit our team.

We put no pressure on candidates to give us an immediate decision, and encourage you to think through an offer, once extended. It’s important to us that you feel it’s a fit and that you want to be a part of our team.
