Position Summary
Promotive is hiring a skilled B Level Automotive Technician for a growing independent repair shop in Blacksburg, VA. This family-owned operation is reopening and expanding, making it the perfect time to join a shop that's building something great—and no, that doesn't mean spending six months repainting the waiting room.
If you enjoy diagnostics, mechanical repairs, and the satisfaction of fixing what everyone else thought was "probably electrical," you'll fit right in. With modern diagnostic equipment, paid training, weekday hours, and real opportunities for advancement, this is a place where your career can move as fast as the cars you repair.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform automotive diagnostics, maintenance, and repair services on domestic, Asian, and European vehicles.
- Diagnose and repair braking systems, suspension systems, steering systems, and chassis components.
- Complete shock absorber replacement, strut replacement, brake inspections, brake repairs, and general mechanical services.
- Perform wheel alignments, vehicle inspections, and preventative maintenance services.
- Utilize diagnostic scanners and testing equipment to identify vehicle concerns accurately (because "it sounds funny" isn't technically a diagnostic code).
- Conduct Digital Vehicle Inspections (DVI) and document repair recommendations clearly.
- Maintain productivity goals of 40+ flagged hours per week.
- Collaborate with service staff and fellow technicians to keep the shop running smoothly—and settle the occasional "whose 10mm socket is this?" mystery.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.
Qualifications
- 3-5+ years of professional experience as an Automotive Technician.
- Strong mechanical aptitude with light to intermediate automotive diagnostic skills.
- Experience servicing domestic, Asian, and European vehicles preferred.
- Comfortable using digital inspection software and modern diagnostic equipment.
- ASE certifications are preferred or willingness to obtain certifications after hire.
- Self-motivated, dependable, and capable of working independently.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship.
- Virginia State Safety Inspection License HIGHLY PREFERRED: https://vsp.virginia.gov/safety-division/
Compensation & Benefits
- Hourly pay: $25-$35/hr based on experience
- Production bonus program:
- 40 flagged hours = +$2/hr
- 45+ flagged hours = additional +$2/hr
- Bi-weekly pay
- Paid Time Off
- Paid Holidays
- Paid ASE certification testing and training
- Paid Virginia State Inspection training
- Tool relocation assistance available
- Ongoing professional development opportunities
Why Work Here
- Family-owned shop with supportive leadership and a team-first culture.
- Rare opportunity to join during a major growth phase and help build something you'll be proud of.
- Career advancement opportunities as the business continues to expand—because staying in the same gear forever gets boring.
- Diverse vehicle mix including domestic, Asian, and European makes, so every day brings a new challenge.
- Investment in modern diagnostic equipment, including Autel and Snap-on scan tools.
- Leadership that's passionate about the automotive industry and motorsports—and understands that technicians are the heart of the shop.
- Future team-building events and a commitment to creating a workplace people actually enjoy coming to.
- Monday-Friday schedule with no weekend work, because life is about more than chasing down mystery rattles.
