We are looking for an experienced Automotive Technician to join our growing family-owned auto repair shop in Astoria, OR.
[...] Repair is a husband-and-wife-owned and operated business that’s just 4 months old and already growing fast. We’ve built a foundation on honesty, transparency, and skilled work – and now, we’re ready to welcome our first employee: an experienced Automotive Technician who can work independently, values quality, and takes pride in their craft.
We’re not a high-pressure or flat-rate shop. We don’t upsell, cut corners, or push for volume. Our focus is on doing the job right and taking great care of our customers – and the people who work here.
If you're looking for a shop where your work speaks for itself, where quality matters more than quotas, and where your voice will help shape the future of the business, we'd love to meet you.
What We’re Looking For:
- 5+ years of professional tech experience (more = better!)
- Confident diagnosing and repairing most vehicle systems independently
- Reliability and pride in delivering high-quality work, and personal accountability when something goes wrong (so we can collectively make it right)
- Openness and approachability with a collaborative and flexible mindset – we all bring different strengths and perspectives, and our shop will benefit if we can openly brainstorm ideas, dialogue around creative solutions, and tackle problems head-on
Bonus Points (Preferred, not required):
- Master-level / “A-Tech” skills
- ASE certifications (or willingness to earn/renew them)
- Diesel experience
- Other specialized training and/or experience
Compensation & Work-Life Balance:
- Hourly Pay: $30-$50 DOE – true hourly, no flat-rate
- Flexible Work Schedule: Full-time, part-time, or consistent self-set hours for the right candidate
- No Weekends or Holidays Required: but we’re also open to discussing if that’s something that you’d be excited about
- PTO: Start accruing at 90 days; earn up to 2 weeks by the end of your first year working with us
- Paid Holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day
Perks & Benefits:
- Education Support: Paid ASE certs/renewals and continuing ed opportunities
- Uniforms & Boots: We currently work in a casual environment with shop-branded t-shirts & hoodies, which would be provided to you. Stipend for uniforms available if preferred, plus a separate stipend for work boots.
- Tools: $75/month stipend or accrue up to $900 over your first year.
- Healthcare & Retirement: We’re actively researching quality, affordable options to offer medical/dental/vision and 401(k) with employer contributions; more details will be provided prior to or at time of job offer.
Why Work With Us?
- A clean, modern, and growing shop
- Laid-back, supportive space with ZERO upsell or productivity pressure
- Respectful, inclusive, down-to-earth work culture
- Family- and employee-first mindset – you matter here
- Your voice will help shape how we grow
About Us:
We’re committed to building something we can be proud of. We genuinely care about making a difference, and we work incredibly hard to do right by the folks who trust us to take care of their vehicles.
