Job Description
Job Title: Lead Automotive Technician / Shop Master Mechanic
Location: Seven Hills, OH 44131
Job Type: Full-Time, Monday to Friday (No Weekends Required!)
Salary: $38.00 - $42.00 per hour (Hourly, non-flat rate) + Year-End Performance Bonus
Benefits: 50% Employer-Covered Health, Dental, and Vision | Earned PTO Plan
AutoShop Recruiting has partnered with an established independent automotive group to locate a high-performing Lead Master Technician for an incredibly busy, high-volume service center in Seven Hills, OH.
This role is structured entirely on an hourly basis to completely eliminate the high-pressure sales quotas and unstable paycheck cycles of standard flat-rate dealership flags. You will work alongside an exceptional Service Manager to maintain floor flow, diagnose advanced vehicular concerns, and directly guide a highly enthusiastic junior crew.
What We Offer You:
- Stable Earnings: Guaranteed competitive hourly wage up to $42/hr with unexpected bonuses treated with respect.
- True Work-Life Protection: Complete Monday-Friday operations—your weekends belong completely to you.
- Future Infrastructure Growth: Direct involvement in our multi-unit facility plans, including an upcoming two-bay shop expansion.
- Drivetrain Diversification: Take part in launching our newest pipeline focused on European diagnostic lines (BMW, Mercedes, Audi).
Core Accountabilities:
- Execute precision electrical diagnosis and trace complex malfunctioning components using advanced diagnostic equipment.
- Document systematic vehicle checkups clearly through our modern digital shop management network (TekMetric).
- Provide active shop-floor mentorship and skills coaching to apprentice mechanics and a fast-learning loop technician.
Position Requirements:
- 6+ years of documented professional auto-repair service experience.
- Superior familiarity with diagnostic software, electrical tracing, and multi-system mechanical overhauls.
- Deep pride in teaching others; you enjoy actively lifting up younger techs on your floor.
- Valid driver’s license with a clean driving abstract.
- Master ASE certificates are strongly preferred.
Compensation & Perks
- Up to $42/hr based on experience and production
- Performance-based bonuses and earning potential
- Updated equipment and diagnostic tools
- Paid training and continued education
- Health benefits, PTO, and holidays
- Steady workflow — no shortage of hours
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is a well-run, growth-oriented shop where technicians are respected, supported, and kept busy. Leadership understands that great techs don’t come from job boards — they come from environments where they can produce, grow, and make strong income without the headaches.
If you’re tired of bouncing around or being underutilized, this is a chance to step into a role where your diagnostic ability is the centerpiece — not an afterthought.
