Experienced Auto Tech

Overview

READY TO JOIN A SHOP WHERE YOURE SEEN, SUPPORTED, AND SET UP TO WIN?

Auto Technicians: Sick of fixing everyone else's mistake while the boss looks the other way? You show up early, give a damn, and fix cars the right way even when nobody's watching. But lately, it feels like you're the only one holding that standard. Corners are getting cut. The good techs are burning out. And the boss? He either micromanages or hides in his office.

You're proud of your craft but you're stuck in a place where your pride feels like a burden instead of a badge of honor. At Hometown Garage
, we get it. Because weve been there. We see, we are a small, family-owned shop in Burlington thats built on old-school values and new-school precision. Here, doing the right thing still matters. We dont work on junk, play favorites, or tolerate egos. We just take care of our employees first because we know that when we take care of them, they take care of our customers.

So, if youre a detail-driven automotive technician whos ready to show off their experience and expertise and youre done with shops that talk a big game but dont live it, then Hometown Garage might just be the place that restores your faith in this trade.

NO DRAMA, NO FAVORITES, NO MICROMANAGERS – We run on the 3 Cs rule: whats good for the car, the customer, and the company. If it doesnt meet all three, we dont do it. Everyones treated equally here — no pet techs getting the gravy work.
