Do you offer any skills training or continuing education opportunities?

Web and in-person training is available through our Audi Programs. These programs continue to allow technicians the oppotunity to grow in this field, receive certifications and most importantly... gain hands on experience.

Can you describe opportunities for career growth at your business?

We do our best to promote within and allow employees to grow into the positions they are striving for. We have had some technicians move into the shop foreman roles. Almost every single manager here has worked their way up to be in the role they are in now. A good thing to ask tenured co-workers / managers is where they started.... this really encourages ones motivation to succeed.

Can you describe your performance review process?

We complete a 90-day review from the date of hire and an annual review from there on. Employees are encouraged to complete a self-evaluation form for each review to provide some feedback and goals they would like to work towards.

What type of safety training is required?

We have multiple courses through our online training center ( KPA ) that every technician needs to complete when hired and maintain as they need to be renewed.

Can you describe how Techs work with and mentor younger techs?

Hands on learning is one of the most influential ways for one to continue to advance their skills. Having a team of experienced Audi technicians and foremans allows them to get insight and knowledge from some of the best mentors around.... their own team. We are a family run dealer and we like to treat our co-workers just the same. We are here to support eachother as a team and always find ways to learn / teach something new each day.

How does your shop get involved with the local community?

We’ve been an active member in the Portland metro area for 40 years, supporting causes and organizations such as The Dougy Center, Susan G. Komen Foundation, Children’s Cancer Association, Boys & Girls Clubs of Portland, Victory Academy, and more. We ask that you take some time to see what we’re doing in our local community to help make this beautiful place we live better, one partnership at a time.

Do you do anything with local high schools or tech schools to encourage more students to enter the profession?

We have a sponsorship program with Clark College and their automotive program which allows apprentices to attend school while working in the shop.

Where do you see the shop in five years?

In five years, we hope to see our technicans and apprentices continue to become expert level Audi-Certified technicians. To push our goals for monthly shop hours and expand our facility to be the best it can be. At the end of the day, it really is a team effort in all departments so working with the company as a whole can really motivate us to succeed well beyond what we initally set out for.
