Automotive Mechanic / Certified Safety Inspector (3+ Years of Diagnostic & Repair)

Job Title:
A-Level Automotive Repair Technician / Diagnostic Technician / Safety Inspector

Job Description:

This is Not an entry-level mechanic position!!!

Right Choice Motors is hiring an elite A-level automotive repair technician who can take a job from start to finish without hand-holding. We need a true producer — someone who can pull a vehicle into the shop, diagnose it correctly, write up the repair, source the parts, complete the work, verify the fix, and finish the paperwork cleanly.

This role is for a technician who thinks like an owner, works with urgency, and takes pride in getting the full job done right.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Diagnose drivability, mechanical, electrical, suspension, brake, cooling, and performance issues
• Perform major and minor repairs start-to-finish
• Write your own service recommendations and repair notes
• Build and manage your own repair tickets/work orders
• Source your own parts from vendors/parts stores as needed
• Complete full repair documentation and close out paperwork properly
• Perform final verification, quality check, and road test when needed
• Move vehicles in and out of the shop safely
• Keep your bay clean, organized, and production-ready

What We’re Looking For

• A-level technician with strong diagnostic and repair ability
• Can handle a repair from vehicle intake to final completion
• Comfortable writing up their own jobs and documenting work clearly
• Able to identify needed parts and get them ordered correctly
• Works fast, but does not guess and does not cut corners
• Strong personal accountability — no babysitting, no excuse-making
• Reliable attendance, reliable transportation, and professional work habits
• Must be able to work independently and produce consistently

MUST BE:

• 3+ years of diagnostic and repair experience
• Missouri Motor Vehicle Inspection License
• ASE certifications
• Experience with engines, transmissions, electrical diagnosis, suspension, brakes, and check-engine-light drivability work
• Technician who can prevent comebacks through proper testing and verification

This Position Is NOT For Someone Who

• Only does basic maintenance or lube work
• Needs constant direction to stay moving
• Is uncomfortable writing tickets, parts lists, or repair notes
• Swaps parts without proper diagnosis
• Wants a slow-paced shop or a low-output environment

Flag-time / performance-based pay
Top earning potential for a productive technician who can diagnose accurately, move fast, and finish complete jobs without comebacks.

Why Join Right Choice Motors

• Strong opportunity for a proven producer to make money
• Tight team, fast-moving environment, low bureaucracy
• Real responsibility and autonomy for the right technician
• Opportunity to become a key player in a growing operation

If you're mechanically skilled, hungry to grow, and ready to bring value to a team that’s building something bigger—this is your shot.

Application Question(s):

• This is a fast-paced, flag-time repair shop. Are you comfortable independently handling a job from start to finish — including diagnosis, writing your own ticket/repair notes, sourcing your own parts, completing the repair, and finishing the paperwork without hand-holding?
• What are the last 3 major repairs or diagnostic jobs you completed start-to-finish?

For each one, tell us: vehicle, customer complaint, how you diagnosed it, what you repaired/replaced, and how you confirmed the issue was fixed.

• A customer says, “The car shakes at 60–70 mph and the check engine light is on.” What steps would you take, in order, to diagnose the problem?

Please include: what you would check first, what tools you would use, and how you would avoid guessing or replacing parts blindly.
