Automotive Service Technician - Grow Your Career with a Team That Invests in You.

At Bernhard Auto Works, we don’t just fix cars - we develop technicians into top-level professionals.

If you’re early in your career or looking to take the next step, this is a place where you’ll be mentored, trained, and supported by a true team - not left on your own to figure it out.

Yes - we offer a 4-day work week and no weekends.
But what really sets us apart is how we help you grow.

A True Team Environment (Not Just Talk):

  • Work alongside ASE Master Technicians and experienced mentors.
  • Learn from a structured team - not trial and error.
  • Hourly pay + productivity bonus + team bonus structure (no cutthroat flat-rate environment).
  • Strong communication between advisors and technicians - no chaos, no guessing.

Built for Growth (This is where we stand out):

  • Clear path from entry-level → B Tech → A Tech → Master Tech.
  • Paid training and certification support (ASE roadmap).
  • Hands-on mentorship from senior technicians.
  • Opportunities to specialize in:
    • Steering, Suspension & Alignment (including ADAS)
    • Diesel
    • Electrical & Diagnostics
    • Future EV training pathways

Modern, Professional Shop:

  • Digital inspections and workflow systems.
  • Tablets/laptops used daily.
  • Organized dispatching and scheduling support.
  • Clean, climate-controlled shop (A/C in the bays).

What We’re Looking For:

  • 1-3+ years of automotive experience (or strong mechanical background).
  • ASE certifications are a plus (A4, A5, A6), but not required.
  • Willingness to learn, grow, and be coached.
  • Team-oriented mindset - we win together here.
  • Pride in doing the job right the first time.

What You Get:

  • Climate-Controlled Shop.
  • Health Insurance.
  • Paid Vacation & Holidays.
  • 4-Day Work Week (Fri.ays off!)
  • Paid Training & Career Development.
  • Real Growth Path (not just a job).

Not sure if you’re ready? That’s okay. Let’s talk.
If you’ve got the right attitude, work ethic, and desire to improve - we’ll help you build the rest.

Come Meet Us First

We host team lunch every Thursday , and you’re invited.
No interview. No pressure. Just a chance to meet the team and see the shop.

Email [email protected] and we’ll save you a seat.
