Automotive Technicians

Freeland, MI | Full Time | Monday through Friday | No Weekends | High Performing Shop

Are you the technician who takes pride in doing things right the first time, thrives in a fast- moving environment, and wants to be part of a shop that is scaling, structured, and built for long term success?

Gales Auto Repair is not your average repair shop. We're adding A technician not replacing!
We are a multi-location, high volume, high standard operation with strong leadership, clean and organized bays, and a culture built around accountability, teamwork, professionalism, and growth mindsets.

We have earned Best of Saginaw for nine years in a row and we are working toward bringing that same level of excellence to our Freeland location next.

Do we have a blueprint for every process or a picture-perfect system in place at all times? No. That is exactly why we are looking for eagles who want to help build something great with us. We are a growing and evolving company that values problem solvers, leaders, and people who raise the standard. We have an amazing team right now and we are looking to add the right high performing people who want to grow with us and help build something special.

If you are an A Level Technician, not a parts changer, and you know your worth, this may be the last job posting you ever need to read. Technicians are problem solvers, thinkers, and professionals who diagnose with precision. Mechanics replace parts. We are hiring true technicians.
