  • Positive leadership. Hands-on owners, open communication, actually respond to your needs.

  • 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.

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.
