Experienced Auto Technician - Family Shop for 75 Years ($120K Potential / Weekends Off / Benefits)

Auto Technicians: Ever catch yourself fixing the same mistakes over and over… just because no one else slows down enough to do it right the first time?

You’re the guy they come to when things don’t make sense. The one who actually diagnoses instead of guessing. The one who takes the time to catch what everyone else misses…

And quietly fixes it without making a scene.

But somehow… you’re still treated the same as everyone else.

Same expectations. Same pay structure. Same pressure to just “move faster” instead of doing it right.

And over time, it starts to get to you.

Not enough to quit on the spot… but enough to make you pause sometimes and think:

“There’s gotta be a better shop than this.”

Because it’s not just about the money.

It’s about working somewhere that actually respects the way you think… where doing things properly isn’t seen as slowing everyone down… and where you’re not constantly cleaning up shortcuts just to keep things from coming back.

That’s exactly why Beachler’s Tire & Automotive exists.

We built this shop around a simple idea: fix it right, or don’t fix it at all.

We’re not here to rush cars through and hope for the best. We’re here to help people get the most out of their vehicles - to 250,000 miles and beyond - and that only happens when you give technicians the time, tools, and support to actually do the job properly.

That means working with a team that helps each other instead of competing… having leadership that removes obstacles instead of creating them… and being part of a place where your skill isn’t just expected - it’s respected.

We’ve been doing it this way since 1951, and we’re still growing.

So if you’re that tech - the one who takes pride in getting it right - and you’re tired of feeling like that doesn’t matter where you are now… then keep reading.

ABOUT BEACHLER’S TIRE & AUTOMOTIVE

Beachler’s has been family-owned and serving the Peoria community since 1951. Three generations have built this shop on one simple idea: do things right, and treat people the way they deserve to be treated.

We’re not the biggest shop in town - and we’re not trying to be. What we’ve focused on instead is building something we’re proud of. A place where customers trust us to help them get the most life out of their vehicles… and where technicians can take pride in the work they do every day.

Our mission is simple: extend the life of the vehicle.

That means no rushed work, no corner-cutting, and no pressure to just push cars through. We take a long-term approach - for our customers, and for our team.

WHAT WILL HELP YOU SHINE IN THIS ROLE:

• You’ve got 5+ years of experience in a professional auto repair shop and strong diagnostic ability
• You’re the kind of tech who actually thinks before throwing parts at a problem
• You take pride in doing the job right - even when it takes a little more effort
• You’re comfortable using technology, including digital vehicle inspections (DVI) and documenting your work
• You communicate well - not just with advisors, but as part of a team
• You don’t bring drama , ego, or excuses into the shop
• You want to be part of a team that works together - not just side-by-side
• You show up ready to work , with a good attitude and a level of professionalism that matches your skill

HOWEVER… I f you’re just looking to clock in, coast through the day, and collect a paycheck… this won’t be the place for you.

But if you take pride in solving problems properly, hate cutting corners, and want to be part of a team that actually cares about the work… you’ll fit right in here.

This is also a smoke-free workplace. No exceptions.
