Elite Tire Group/A-Level Automotive Technician (Diagnostic-First)
Dover, Ohio
$30–$35/hr + 1% commission (of total work performed) + overtime
If you’re just swapping parts… don’t apply.
You’ll hate it here.
But if you’re the kind of tech who wants the real problem, not the easy guess… keep reading.
You don’t need babysitting.
You don’t need three comebacks to “learn.”
You don’t tunnel-vision the complaint and ignore what’s actually happening.
You diagnose. You prove it. You fix it right.
What “good” looks like in this shop
A car comes in with brake noise.
A parts changer sells pads.
A pro tech checks the whole system.
You’ll:
- Inspect the full brake system, not one corner
- Check related components and wear patterns
- Think ahead (mileage, usage, repeat failures)
- Find what the customer doesn’t know to ask
- Document what you found and why it matters
No guessing.
No shortcuts.
No sending it out “mostly fixed.”
That’s the standard.
Your day here
You’ll work on real problems, not just easy gravy.
You’ll be trusted to run your bay like a pro.
You’ll diagnose electrical, drivability, emissions, and A/C issues with confidence.
You’ll communicate clearly—so the front counter can sell value, not discounts.
When something goes sideways, you own it fast.
“If we mess up, we fess up” isn’t a poster. It’s how we operate.
And if you care about the craft, you’ll be surrounded by techs who do too.
You’re a fit if you…
- Have 5+ years real repair experience
- Are strong in diagnostics (not just R&R)
- Can handle electrical, emissions, and A/C without panic
- Read codes correctly (and don’t treat them like parts orders)
- Manage your time and output without a manager hovering
- Take ownership when something goes wrong
- Want a long-term home, not a short stop
Don’t apply if you…
- “Try a part” and hope it works
- Need constant direction to stay productive
- Blame the car, the writer, the customer, or the last shop
- Are comfortable being average
