?? 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 (Fridays 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.

We host team lunch every Thursday, and you’re invited.
