How to Find the Perfect Work Culture in Automotive Repair

If you’re an automotive professional looking for your next career opportunity, be sure to consider the culture of the shop and whether or not it’s the right fit for YOU.

Finding the right work culture can make all the difference in your career. A positive culture boosts employee engagement, keeps you around longer, and helps you feel innovative. So, how do you know if a shop’s culture is the right fit for you?

Start by thinking about what’s important to you. When searching for the right work environment, ask yourself:

  • Does the company encourage creativity, collaboration, and teamwork?
  • Do their day-to-day actions align with their core values?
  • What do current and past employees have to say about working there?
  • Then, take a moment to dive a little deeper. 
  • Talk to leadership: Ask them how they’d describe the company’s culture.
  • Chat with employees: Learn about their experiences.
  • Check reviews: Look up testimonials on social media or review sites.
  • Consider asking for internal documentation: Employee surveys and exit interviews often reveal a lot.
  • Look at the numbers: Engagement and retention metrics can tell you how people feel about staying there.

Knowing what to look for can help you land in a shop where you’ll thrive and grow in your automotive repair career.
