We are a fast-growing shop and have too many cars! Wright Auto Works was created by employees to be a shop where the employees are the center of attention, not the customers. We focus on providing great benefits, modern systems to keep up with modern demand, a great set of shop tools and equipment, and a team that is enjoyable to work with. We are not your normal grumpy technician shop, we enjoy coming to work to help solve our clients' automotive issues. Being paid to do so is just the cherry on top. We focus heavily on offering both in-house and outside training to further our tech team's skillset. If you are on board with us, we will help to make you a better technician, which means more money in your pocket!

We are looking for a flat-rate technician and our pay range is $35-$50 per hour, base rate. We also have a tiered pay system that increases your base rate once you turn above 40 hours a week. Some of our techs make thousands of dollars more every paycheck from the increase in their base rate from doing 80+ hours in a pay period! Don't forget about 50% paid healthcare, first year PTO availability, along with rest of our benefits package.
