Job description

Would you describe your current job as the most family-friendly auto repair shop in Berks County? Our team does.

  • NO WEEKENDS. Make time with your family and do the things you want to do. We worked half-days on Saturdays for years, so we know… it’s life-changing when you STOP DOING THAT!
  • $1000 a year vacation benefit. Yes, really. Where do you want to visit this year? No stay-cations. You and your family need to make some memories.
  • Financial Peace. Do your personal finances cause you stress? Wish you had the resources to buy a house? Want to get your debt under control? We can help with that.
  • Stability. Plenty of work… loyal customers and an awesome online reputation. There are people waiting in line for the services you provide.
  • $100 Monthly Tool Allowance so you can build your box without feeling guilty for it (or signing your firstborn over to the tool guy)
  • Lunch every Wednesday. “Lunch & Learn” one week, Team meeting the following week. Lunch is on us every Wednesday.
  • Elite Technician Training & Professional Development opportunities. 1 Saturday per quarter we schedule a professional trainer to help you stay ahead of the curve with technology and level up on diagnostics and other skills… no matter what level you’re starting at!
  • Awesome Co-workers. When we ask employees what they love most about working here, the first answer is always “the people!” Have fun at work and at play. After work: Team picnics, pig-roasts, go-karts, games & contests, hockey or baseball, axe throwing, kayaking, paintball
  • Positive leadership. Hands-on owners, open communication, actually respond to your needs.
  • Paperless shop. No clipboards needed. Voice-to-text your notes, and take pictures + videos on your iPad instead.
  • New Shop Tools & Top Tier Equipment make your work faster and easier (Autel Ultra with the Maxi Oscilloscope, Hunter Hawkeye Elite Alignment Machine, Hunter Road-Force Tire Balancer, Dealer Programming equipment)
  • Influence. YOU have a voice in deciding what else we need and how we should optimize our processes.
  • Organized, stocked shelves + Multiple Information Systems. What you need is there when you need it.
  • Paid Time Off + Company Holidays
  • Medical / Health Insurance – Available the first of the month following your hire date!
  • Dental + Vision (no cost)
  • Accident Insurance (no cost), plus Short-Term Disability & other Supplemental Insurances you can add on
  • Tool Insurance (no cost) – We protect your livelihood.
  • 401K with 4% match dollar for dollar – We’ll help you get prepared for Retirement
  • Notary Services (no cost)
  • Money isn’t everything, but let’s be honest: We’re all working because we’re trying to achieve something, right? So it DOES matter that we pay our technicians the kind of wages you pay to Professionals. Our owners are “good sharers,” who go out of their way to take care of the people who take care of them with an excellent Incentivized Compensation Plan.

Even more important than all those things: You’ll be part of something bigger. You’ve chosen such a noble career. You serve people. You do hard things. You make the public safer. You’ve spent years growing your skills, and you have so much to offer. Come be part of a team that SEES you, VALUES you, and will give you opportunities to do something that MATTERS in our community and in people’s lives!

Our goal is to be the new “Work Home” that you need.

  • Valid Driver’s License is a MUST
  • Professional Experience with vehicle repairs
  • Priority to Diagnostic Automotive Technicians
  • PA Inspection + Emissions licenses (or willingness to obtain)
  • ASE certifications preferred (if not we provide ASE training and ASE reimbursement)
  • At least 18 years of age
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds

Company Description

It all started with one active auto repair center, equipped for major and minor auto repair, with a noted specialty in transmissions. We made our name by being the best at what we do and by our commitment to making people happy. In 2020, we expanded, acquiring a second Lee Myles location in the Birdsboro-Exeter area. Business is booming like crazy, and we need more help!

One of our favorite quotes is from Walt Disney: "Do what you do so well, they will want to see it again... and bring their friends." We've built our company around excellence and relationship. We know that Happy Employees = Happy Customers. We take care of our Team, and our Team kicks butt. And because our Team kicks butt, we have lifelong customer relationships that flood us with generations of referrals and online positive reviews. Job security really is that simple.
