Job Description
Automotive Technician (B-Tech / A-Tech / Diagnostic Tech)
Work With a Team That Matches Your Skill Level:
At Bernhard Auto Works, we’re not looking for just any technician — we’re looking for professionals who take pride in diagnostics, precision, and doing the job right the first time.
If you’re an experienced technician who’s tired of:
- Poor communication.
- Disorganized workflow.
- Inconsistent work.
- Or feeling like you’re carrying the shop.
You’ll want to take a closer look at us.
What Makes Us Different:
This is a true team environment — not a flat-rate free-for-all. We operate with structured workflow, strong advisor support, and a culture where technicians are respected and set up to succeed.
- Work alongside ASE Master Technicians and advanced-level peers.
- Dedicated dispatch & workflow coordination (you stay productive).
- Digital inspections and modern systems — no guesswork.
- Hourly pay + productivity bonus + team-based bonus structure (quality over chaos).
Built for High-Level Technicians:
We’re intentional about building a shop where top technicians can thrive:
- Advanced diagnostic opportunities (not just parts swapping).
- Support for L1, L3 (EV), and advanced ASE certifications.
- Opportunities to lead, mentor, and shape the next generation.
- Growing specialties in:
- Electrical & Diagnostics.
- Diesel.
- Alignment / ADAS.
- Future EV service & repair.
Culture Matters Here:
- Strong team-first mentality — no egos, no silos.
- Advisors who communicate clearly and sell the work properly.
- Leadership that listens and invests in the team.
- A shop where doing it right is valued over doing it fast.
What We’re Looking For:
- 5+ years of experience in automotive repair.
- Strong diagnostic and problem-solving ability.
- ASE Master Certification (or close to it) preferred.
- Desire to continue learning and improving.
- A technician who leads by example and elevates the team.
What You Get:
- Climate-Controlled Shop (A/C in the bays).
- Health Insurance.
- Paid Vacation & Holidays.
- 4-Day Work Week (No Weekends).
- Ongoing Paid Training & Advanced Certification Support.
- A Professional, Organized Work Environment.
Come See the Difference:
We host team lunch every Thursday, and you’re invited. No formal interview — just a chance to meet the team, see the shop, and decide if this is the environment you’ve been looking for.
