Tired of Being the Best Diagnostic Tech Without the Right Support?

We are hiring an experienced Lead Diagnostic Technician for a busy, climate-controlled independent repair shop in Dublin.

This is a hands-on diagnostic and repair position for a technician who can solve difficult problems, complete advanced repairs, and help less experienced technicians improve. This is not a Shop Foreman position. You will still work on vehicles and produce, but your experience will also make you a valuable technical resource for the team.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• $30-$55/hour flat rate
• Approximately 40 flagged hours per week on average
• Monday-Friday schedule
• Seven bays and seven lifts
• Alignment rack available
• Fully heated and air-conditioned shop
• Approximately 75 vehicles per week
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance with 50% employer contribution
• PTO and six paid holidays
• Training reimbursement
• ShopFix Academy technician training
• Potential sign-on bonus
• Potential relocation assistance
• Toolbox relocation support
• Shop lunch every other Friday
