General Service Automotive Technicians - Ready to launch your automotive career with a shop that actually invests in your future?
Maybe you've been changing oil at a quick lube, wondering if there's more to life than drain plugs and filters.
Maybe you're mechanically inclined but never had someone willing to teach you the trade.
Or maybe you're just starting out and want to learn from the best in a shop that values growth over grinding.
We get it.
At Craig's Car Care, we're looking for someone different - not another seasoned tech, but someone hungry to learn, eager to grow, and ready to build a real career in automotive repair.
Since 1996, we've been more than just a repair shop - we've been a place where careers are built, skills are developed, and people matter. We're looking for someone who wants to start as a General Service Technician and grow into a skilled professional over the next few years.
If you're ready to trade dead-end jobs for a real career path with mentorship, training, and a team that's got your back - keep reading.

✓ COMPETITIVE HOURLY PAY - This is an hourly position with consistent, reliable pay - no feast or famine flat rate stress. You'll know exactly what you're earning every week.
✓ REAL CAREER DEVELOPMENT - We'll map out your career path from day one. Start with general service, learn from experienced techs, get certified, and grow into a full technician role within a couple of years.
✓ PAID TRAINING & CERTIFICATIONS - We'll train you to become a Certified State Inspector and cover the costs of your professional development. Learn on the job while getting paid.
✓ WORK-LIFE BALANCE - Five-day work week (NO WEEKENDS), holiday pay, and paid time off. We believe in working hard during work hours and living your life after.
✓ LEARN BY DOING - You'll handle real responsibilities that matter:
- Provide shuttle service for customers
- Complete digital health & reliability reports
- Perform state inspections (we'll train you)
- Basic facility maintenance and shop cleanliness
- Assist experienced technicians and learn hands-on
✓ FULL BENEFITS - Health insurance (we pay 50%), dental insurance paid, vision available, IRA with 3% match, disability and life insurance options.

✓ STABILITY & GROWTH - Family-owned since 1996 with 986 reviews and a 4.8-star rating. Join a winning team that's been serving the community for nearly 30 years.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Someone eager to learn and grow in the automotive industry
- Basic mechanical aptitude and willingness to get your hands dirty
- Valid driver's license with clean driving record (you'll be driving customer vehicles)
- Strong work ethic and reliability
- Positive attitude and team player mentality
- Interest in building a long-term career, not just finding a job
No experience required - we're more interested in your attitude and potential than your current skill level.
