Do you love figuring out how things work? Are you the type of person who enjoys solving problems instead of just replacing parts?
We're looking for an Automotive Technician Apprentice who wants to build a long-term career not just replacing parts but learning how to approach advanced automotive diagnostics, electronics, and repair. This is a rare opportunity to work with a mentor in a highly respected independent repair shop that specializes in solving the problems other shops can't.
This is not just an oil change or tire rotation position. You'll be trained to understand modern vehicle systems from the ground up.

Advanced electrical and electronic diagnostics
Engine performance and drivability diagnosis
Scan tool operation and data interpretation
Oscilloscope (lab scope) testing
CAN bus and network diagnostics
Hybrid and modern vehicle technology
Mechanical repair and maintenance
Professional diagnostic procedures and critical thinking
How to use parts catalogs and labor guides
What We're Looking For:
Strong mechanical aptitude
Curious mindset and a desire to learn
Self-motivated and passionate about automotive
Excellent problem-solving skills
Basic hand tools are a plus but not required
Automotive school or prior experience is excellent but not required—DIY enthusiasts are also encouraged to apply.
This Could Be a Great Fit If You:
Love working with technology and electronics
Enjoy puzzles and troubleshooting
Want to build a career in automotive
Are willing to work hard, persevere and continually learn
