Service Apprentice Honda Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Automotive Technician - Honda of Downtown Chicago

Honda of Downtown Chicago, part of the Murgado Automotive Group, is hiring a full-time Automotive Technician for our busy and growing service department in Libertyville, IL. We are busy-and getting busier. This is an on-site opportunity for experienced technicians who want steady work, high earning potential, and the ability to get paid for what they produce.

You will diagnose, repair, and maintain customer vehicles while working with modern diagnostic tools, dealership repair procedures, and a supportive service team. Honda experience and ASE certifications are preferred, but we welcome qualified automotive technicians with strong mechanical and electrical diagnostic skills.

Busy Shop. High Earning Potential. No Shortage of Work. Our top technicians earn $70,000 to $150,000+ per year, and we are looking for experienced technicians who want to turn hours and consistently flag strong hours in a shop that stays full.

Our advisors know how to sell work, our dispatch process is built to support production, and our technicians have the opportunity to be rewarded for strong performance.

If you are tired of:

• Sitting around waiting for work.
• Empty bays.
• Poor dispatching.
• Advisors who cannot sell.
• A shop where hard work is not rewarded.

It is time for a change.
