Auction Driver Jobs in Miami, FL (NOW HIRING)

Join Our Awesome Team as an Auto Mechanic! – South Florida Auto Auction | Lauderdale Lakes, FL 

Who We Are (And Why You'll Love It Here!)

Welcome to South Florida Auto Auction, where automotive expertise meets fast-paced excitement in sunny South Florida! We're a premier dealer-only auto auction serving the greater Fort Lauderdale area and beyond, and honestly, we’re pretty proud of what we’ve built. Located at 3500 NW 21st Street in Lauderdale Lakes, we feature over 1000+ vehicles running through our lanes every Wednesday, creating a dynamic environment where every day brings new challenges and opportunities.

We're not just about cars, we're about creating a positive workplace where employees, dealers, and customers feel valued every day. Our motto captures it perfectly: "Service Is What We Do Best!"

What Makes This Role Special

This isn't your typical shop gig. Forget the same six cars a week and a quiet waiting room. Here, you'll work in a fast-paced, high-volume auction environment where no two days look alike. Experienced in mechanical and electrical diagnostics, engine and transmission repairs, ABS brake bleeds, relearn protocols, tire mounting, and everything in between; you'll be the reason hundreds of vehicles cross our auction block in top condition every week. You're not just fixing cars; you're keeping an entire operation moving.
