Automotive Shop Helper Jobs in Reno, NV (NOW HIRING)

Strong technicians should not have to choose between earning a great income and having a life.

We are hiring highly productive A & B-Level Automotive Technicians who can diagnose accurately, complete quality repairs, and consistently turn hours.

This is a permanent, full-time position with a family-owned repair shop that has served the Elko community for more than 17 years.

Our family has been part of Elko County for more than 100 years. We are established, growing, and building a shop where serious technicians can earn well without dealing with corporate politics, constant chaos, broken equipment, or weekend schedules.

$35.00–$65.00+ per flat-rate hour, based on your ability, experience, certifications, efficiency, and production.

Our productive technicians typically earn $90,000+ per year, with additional upside for technicians who can diagnose, produce, and fix vehicles correctly the first time.

There is no artificial ceiling for a technician who performs.

• Monday–Friday schedule
• Closed every Saturday and Sunday
• Heated and air-conditioned shop
• 64+ hours of paid holidays
• 60+ hours of paid time off to start
• 100% company-paid health insurance
• 100% company-paid dental and vision insurance
• IRA match
• Fuel card
• Company-paid training
• Professional shop equipment
• Service advisors who can present and sell your recommendations
• Established processes that reduce chaos and wasted time
• A team that wants you to produce and succeed
• Family-owned leadership that understands the value of a skilled technician

This position is for a technician who can operate at a high B level or above.

You should be able to:

• Perform accurate inspections and digital vehicle inspections
• Identify primary safety concerns
• Diagnose mechanical and electrical problems
• Build complete repair recommendations, including labor and parts needs
• Complete maintenance and repair work efficiently
• Produce consistent billable hours
• Communicate clearly with the service team
• Follow established processes
• Work without constant supervision
• Take ownership of repair quality
• Help maintain a clean, professional, drama-free shop
• Fix vehicles correctly the first time

Experience with domestic, Asian, and light-duty vehicles is preferred.

ASE certifications are valuable, but demonstrated ability, production, and repair quality matter more than certificates alone.

Do not apply if you:

• Need to be constantly reminded to finish work
• Avoid inspections or documentation
• Blame advisors, parts, tools, or coworkers for low production
• Create drama
• Resist proven processes
• Perform incomplete repairs
• Are uncomfortable being accountable for your work

We are not looking for someone who simply wants to be present for eight hours.

We are looking for a professional technician who wants to produce, earn, improve, and work alongside other professionals.

Elko offers an opportunity to earn a strong income without the traffic, crowds, and cost structure of a major city.

The area is surrounded by wide-open country and year-round outdoor opportunities, including:

• Hunting
• Fishing
• Camping
• Hiking
• Off-roading
• Mountain biking
• Snowmobiling
• ATV and side-by-side trails
• Public land and open space
• Easy access to Nevada’s mountains and backcountry

Elko is approximately 170–300 miles from larger metropolitan areas, making it a strong fit for someone who values independence, outdoor access, a close-knit community, and room to breathe.

The mining industry attracts many skilled workers in this area. Our advantage is different: you can build a serious income while working Monday through Friday in a professional, climate-controlled automotive shop—and still have your weekends.

We do things differently.

Our systems are designed to reduce confusion, prevent unnecessary delays, and create a shop that is free from constant chaos and drama.

We know what it feels like for a skilled technician to be underpaid, unappreciated, ignored, or expected to work with broken and outdated equipment.

That is not the shop we are building.

We want technicians to have:

• Clear expectations
• Strong support
• Quality equipment
• Consistent workflow
• Advisors who can sell
• Opportunities to improve
• Recognition for production and quality
• A workplace they are proud to be part of

Monday–Friday

No weekends.
