An independent shop in Durango, CO is on the hunt for a seasoned A-Level Technician ready to step into a foreman/lead diagnostic role. This isn’t your average wrench-turning gig—we’re talking about a leadership spot for someone who can solve problems, guide a team, and still get their hands dirty on some tough diagnostic work.
The Right Fit:
-
You’ve got at least 7 years of experience, and you’ve mastered the art of diagnosing the stuff others send to the dealer.
-
ASE certifications are a big plus—but if you’re not there yet and want to get there, we’ll help.
-
You’re a natural mentor. You like being the go-to person in the shop, not the know-it-all in the corner.
-
You’re cool with helping on a variety of work and don’t mind a little chaos in a tight but productive shop.
The Shop Environment:
-
5 bays, 4 lifts, alignment equipment (Autel & Challenger)
-
High-performing team with strong hours and a laid-back vibe
-
Expect jokes, maybe the occasional prank—but always a solid team-first attitude
-
No micromanaging, no suits—just results and respect
Bonus Points If You:
- Can keep calm under pressure and adapt to an evolving shop
-
Love the outdoors—Durango’s calling with trails, rivers, and mountains all around
Bottom Line:
If you’re a diagnostic pro who’s ready to take the next step—leading, mentoring, and still turning a few wrenches—this is your shot. Great money, great people, and no weekend work.
