Burdi's Motor Works - [Schiller Park, IL]

Competitive Compensation | Signing Bonus Available | Excellent Benefits

Are you an experienced technician tired of working on basic maintenance?

Burdi's Motor Works is a premier, independently owned automotive service center specializing in the maintenance and repair of European vehicles. We are seeking a highly skilled Automotive Technician to join our team.

What You'll Be Working On:

This role requires expertise in diagnostics, electrical troubleshooting and general mechanical repair across two core areas:

1. Luxury & Performance Vehicles (Primary Focus)

  • Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Audi, and Land Rover.
  • Advanced diagnosis and repair of systems including CAN-Bus networks, ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems), high-voltage hybrid/EV systems (if certified), and complex engine/transmission control systems.
  • Factory-level scheduled maintenance and general mechanical repairs.

2. Fleet & Commercial Vehicles (Secondary Focus)

  • Diagnosis, service, and repair of fleet commercial vans including Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit, Ram Promaster, and Chevy Express.
  • This work provides variety and ensures a consistent workflow for all mechanical and maintenance needs.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Advanced Diagnostics: Systematically diagnose and identify the root cause of electrical and mechanical failures using factory-level scan tools, oscilloscopes, multi-meters, and schematics.
  • Precision Repair: Execute high-quality, efficient, and precise repairs in accordance with manufacturer specifications and Burdi's standards.
  • Documentation: Clearly document all findings, diagnostic steps, and repairs performed using our shop management software.
  • Continuous Learning: Remain current on the latest technology, technical service bulletins (TSBs), and repair procedures for all serviced vehicle makes.
  • Collaboration: Communicate complex diagnostic findings clearly to Service Advisors and occasionally directly to customers.

What We Require:

  • 5+ years of professional experience working on European Luxury vehicles (Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Porsche, or Land Rover preferred).
  • ASE Master Certification (A1-A8) is required; L1 Advanced Engine Performance Specialist is a significant advantage.
  • Proven expertise with advanced diagnostic equipment (digital multi-meter, oscilloscope/lab scope proficiency is non-negotiable).
  • A comprehensive set of personal tools to perform all facets of diagnostics and repair.
  • A valid driver's license and clean driving record.

What Sets You Apart:

  • Specific dealer or independent specialized training on Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Porsche.
  • Experience with diesel/turbo-diesel engine diagnosis and repair (relevant to Sprinter/Promaster/Transit).
  • Certification or proven experience with high-voltage (HEV/EV) systems.

Why Join Burdi's Motor Works?

  • Focus on Diagnostics: We hire you to think and solve, not just turn wrenches. Your diagnostic time is respected and properly billed.
  • High-End Clientele: Work on a stimulating and challenging mix of the world’s finest automotive engineering every day.
  • State-of-the-Art Facility: Access to the latest diagnostic software, premium shop equipment, and specialized tools.
  • Investment in Your Future: We provide and pay for ongoing technical training, including specific manufacturer courses.
  • Excellent Work-Life Balance: [Flexible schedule Mon-Fri with opportunity to come Saturday but not mandatory, Paid Holidays, Vacation Time, and PTO.]
  • Compensation: Highly competitive flat-rate or hourly structure based on experience and certifications, with additional performance bonuses.

If you are ready to use your full potential on a daily basis and join a team that values expertise over expediency, apply today.

TO APPLY: Submit your resume and a brief cover letter outlining your top three ASE certifications and your most challenging diagnostic success story to [[email protected] or Application Link].
