About the Role
Bob's Auto is a family-owned shop that's been keeping local drivers on the road for 50 years. As an Automotive Apprentice, you'll work side by side with a Master Technician who'll mentor you through diagnostic and mechanical repairs — building the confidence, experience, and skills it takes to become a successful technician.
This is a real starting point, not a dead-end job. We're looking for someone who's eager to learn the trade, takes pride in careful work, and wants to grow with a shop that invests in its people.

Work closely with the service department and clearly communicate concerns and needed repairs.
Help train and mentor other technicians, and deliver distinguished results as a team.
What we're looking for
Master Certified L1, or actively seeking your L1 certification.
15+ years of professional experience as an automotive technician/mechanic.
Expert drivability and diagnostic skills, with electrical experience across all makes and models.
Capable of diagnosing and repairing all years, makes, and models of vehicles.
A clean driving record.
Willing to help train and mentor other team members.
A positive attitude, professional appearance, and strong communication.
A desire for long-term career development — we want to be the place you retire from.
Physical requirements
Occasionally lift and/or move over 30 pounds.
Work with tools on vehicles lifted above your head.
Work in tight spaces as the repair requires.
