About the Job
First Automotive is looking for a high-level Automotive Technician to join our Liverpool repair facility.

This is not an entry-level or maintenance-only position. We need an experienced technician who can independently diagnose difficult problems, perform quality repairs, and help keep vehicles moving efficiently through the shop.

Our compensation plan is a hybrid—not traditional flat rate. You receive a guaranteed weekly salary, plus additional compensation based on production. This provides the stability of guaranteed pay with the opportunity to earn more when you produce more.

Responsibilities:
  • Diagnose and repair complex mechanical, electrical, and drivability concerns.
  • Perform general maintenance and a wide range of automotive repairs.
  • Complete accurate digital vehicle inspections with clear pictures and detailed notes.
  • Communicate findings, repair needs, and parts requirements to the service advisor.
  • Complete authorized repairs accurately and efficiently.
  • Test-drive and recheck vehicles to verify repairs and resolve customer concerns.
  • Properly document all work performed and recommendations identified.
  • Accurately clock in and out of assigned jobs.
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area.
  • Take responsibility for repair quality and help prevent unnecessary comebacks.

Qualifications:
  • Significant professional automotive repair experience is required.
  • Strong diagnostic, electrical, mechanical, and problem-solving ability.
  • Ability to independently handle difficult repairs and diagnostic concerns.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship.
  • Comfortable using scan tools, service information, and digital inspection software.
  • Able to communicate technical findings clearly to service advisors and management.
  • ASE certifications are strongly preferred but not required.
  • Valid driver’s license and acceptable driving record.
  • Dependable, productive, team-oriented, and able to work the full scheduled hours.

Compensation and Benefits:
  • Guaranteed weekly salary.
  • Additional production-based compensation.
  • The compensation range listed in the posting represents guaranteed base compensation; production earnings are additional.
  • Health insurance options.
  • Dental insurance options.
  • Short-term disability insurance options.
  • Paid holidays.
  • Paid vacation and sick time.
  • Paid job-related training.
  • ASE test reimbursement upon receiving a passing score.
  • Company-provided uniforms.
  • Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
  • No weekends.

This is an opportunity for an experienced technician to receive guaranteed pay, earn more through production, and join a growing automotive organization that values quality, efficiency, and accountability.

Apply today with your resume and a brief description of your automotive experience, diagnostic strengths, certifications, and the types of repairs you are comfortable performing.
