When full staffed, we have two service writers and five technicians. Also, throughout the year we may have 1-2 high school students gearing up for technical school working as shop porters.

The shop will provide several different diagnostic tools and specialty tools; timing tools, bushing release, strut tools, fuel pump pullers, etc. to name a few.

Technicians have a room located on the south side of the shop, this comes with a refrigerator and microwave, as well as a separate restroom from the shop area (hand washing room).

We have 5 indoor lifts, 1 outdoor lift, and 1 alignment rack.

The shop typically closes out 175 repair orders per month.

For BMW parts, majority of maintenance items (filters, spark plugs, fluids) are kept on hand. We try to keep at least 2-3 oil filters for all the vehicles we work on. Otherwise, we use local dealerships and WorldPac to supply items not on hand.

Technicians are responsible for keeping their bay's clean and tidy. We ask that the technicians inform the service writers if they are opening the last oil barrel, brake clean, cleaning supply, etc. so that we can always have back ups of these items ready to go.

We do not offer any in-house continuing education at this time, but we are more than happy to reimburse our technicians who would like to continue developing their skills. This can include web seminars or in-person seminars, if the technicians choose to attend these types of skills trainings.

We do encourage our technicians to become stronger, more proficient as their careers progress. Although this can look different for each individual, we try to find what helps our technicians succeed further in this career and help them reach their individual goals as much as possible.

After the first couple weeks, and we as well as the technician believe Lindsey Bimmer Service will be a good fit, the technician will receive a 90-day review. From there we will touch base on performance at 6 months, and then again annually as long as the employment continues. In the event there is an issue or significant change in pace that arises, the technicians can also request an earlier performance review.

OSHA General Industry training and knowledge should be a minimum met by our employees. Awareness of the different fluids and chemicals, hazardous waste and materials, and other on site safety is also required. Most of our employees complete this training prior to arriving at Lindsey Bimmer Service, however if there is lack of knowledge we would have the employees finish a safety training course with OSHA, with reimbursement from Lindsey Bimmer Service once training is completed.

In the event we have a high school student, or technical student working part-time in the Shop Porter position, the technicians will alternate spending time with the student. The students purpose at this time is to observe the repair processes, assist technicians- becoming familiar with different tools and fluids used, and becoming aware of the mundane parts of working inside an automotive shop. Otherwise, most technicians that we will hire for full-time employment should have a minimum of 5-10 years experience working on the vehicles we specialize in.

In the past, we have been sponsors or donors in several events in the local community; Cedar Park Rodeo, Leander High School AFJROTC Car Show, Glenn HS FFA, Glenn HS Musical Theatre, and Glenn HS Wrestling, to name a few.

We are always open to having students interested in this field work part-time as Shop Porter to familiarize themselves with the industry.

We continue to strive towards proficiency, excellence, and growth with each passing year.

We do not currently have an application form. We request all applicants have a resume ready for review with relevant knowledge and experience for the position they are applying for.

We have performed phone screen's before, but the in-person interview will always give us a better idea if Lindsey Bimmer Service will be a good fit for both employer and employee.

We ask for experience, previous employers, reasons for leaving previous employment, strengths and weakness' with the vehicles we specialize, along with other various follow ups questions.

We have had employees hired and active in the shop within 1-2 weeks from the resume submission/in-person interview.

This position has a large range because knowledge, experience, proficiency speak very loudly for our trained technicians. We take several items into consideration when offering a position and coming to an agreement on the composition for the work expected. This is tailored to each individual employee and will be discussed at the in-person interview.

Students who are employed as the shop porter will be responsible for observing our trained technicians in their repairs, as well as keeping up with shop maintenance. This position is more-or-less paid for on the job training and familiarizing the next generation of automotive technicians with the in's and out's of the job.

This position is the base line our of services. Oil and filter changes, brake fluid flushes, and other maintenance items such as air filters and spark plugs need to be mastered before this employee will be moved to more in-depth repairs.
