Automotive Technician

Elite Tire Group/A-Level Automotive Technician (Diagnostic-First)

Dover, Ohio

$30–$35/hr + 1% commission (of total work performed) + overtime

If you’re just swapping parts… don’t apply.

You’ll hate it here.

But if you’re the kind of tech who wants the real problem, not the easy guess… keep reading.

You don’t need babysitting.

You don’t need three comebacks to “learn.”

You don’t tunnel-vision the complaint and ignore what’s actually happening.

You diagnose. You prove it. You fix it right.

What “good” looks like in this shop

A car comes in with brake noise.

A parts changer sells pads.

A pro tech checks the whole system.

You’ll:

Inspect the full brake system, not one corner
Check related components and wear patterns
Think ahead (mileage, usage, repeat failures)
Find what the customer doesn’t know to ask
Document what you found and why it matters

No guessing.

No shortcuts.

No sending it out “mostly fixed.”

That’s the standard.

Your day here

You’ll work on real problems, not just easy gravy.

You’ll be trusted to run your bay like a pro.

You’ll diagnose electrical, drivability, emissions, and A/C issues with confidence.

You’ll communicate clearly—so the front counter can sell value, not discounts.

When something goes sideways, you own it fast.

“If we mess up, we fess up” isn’t a poster. It’s how we operate.

And if you care about the craft, you’ll be surrounded by techs who do too.

You’re a fit if you…
Have 5+ years real repair experience
Are strong in diagnostics (not just R&R)
Can handle electrical, emissions, and A/C without panic
Read codes correctly (and don’t treat them like parts orders)
Manage your time and output without a manager hovering
Take ownership when something goes wrong
Want a long-term home, not a short stop

Don’t apply if you…
“Try a part” and hope it works
Need constant direction to stay productive
Blame the car, the writer, the customer, or the last shop
Are comfortable being average
