Automotive Service Technician - Grow Your Career with a Team That Invests in You.

At Bernhard Auto Works, we don’t just fix cars - we develop technicians into top-level professionals.

If you’re early in your career or looking to take the next step, this is a place where you’ll be mentored, trained, and supported by a true team - not left on your own to figure it out.

Yes - we offer a 4-day work week and no weekends.
But what really sets us apart is how we help you grow.

A True Team Environment (Not Just Talk):

Work alongside ASE Master Technicians and experienced mentors.
Learn from a structured team - not trial and error.
Hourly pay + productivity bonus + team bonus structure (no cutthroat flat-rate environment).
Strong communication between advisors and technicians - no chaos, no guessing.

Built for Growth (This is where we stand out):

Clear path from entry-level → B Tech → A Tech → Master Tech.
Paid training and certification support (ASE roadmap).
Hands-on mentorship from senior technicians.
Opportunities to specialize in:
- Steering, Suspension & Alignment (including ADAS)
- Diesel
- Electrical & Diagnostics
- Future EV training pathways

Modern, Professional Shop:

Digital inspections and workflow systems.
Tablets/laptops used daily.
Organized dispatching and scheduling support.
Clean, climate-controlled shop (A/C in the bays).

What We’re Looking For:

1-3+ years of automotive experience (or strong mechanical background).
ASE certifications are a plus (A4, A5, A6), but not required.
Willingness to learn, grow, and be coached.
Team-oriented mindset - we win together here.
Pride in doing the job right the first time.

What You Get:

Climate-Controlled Shop.
Health Insurance.
Paid Vacation & Holidays.
4-Day Work Week (Fri.ays off!)
Paid Training & Career Development.
Real Growth Path (not just a job).

Not sure if you’re ready? That’s okay. Let’s talk.
If you’ve got the right attitude, work ethic, and desire to improve - we’ll help you build the rest.

Come Meet Us First

We host team lunch every Thursday, and you’re invited.
No interview. No pressure. Just a chance to meet the team and see the shop.

Email dave@bernhardautoworks.com and we’ll save you a seat.
