If you’re obsessed with classic cars, love working with your hands, and can’t stop watching restoration videos online… This might be your dream job.

A high-end custom restoration shop in San Jose is looking for an Apprentice Automotive Technician to join their tight-knit team of craftsmen. No professional experience needed—just curiosity, a solid work ethic, and the desire to build cool cars the right way.

  • 4-day workweek (Mon–Thurs, 7AM–6PM)

  • Three-day weekends, every week

  • Optional overtime available if you want extra hours

This role is perfect for someone who:

  • Wants to learn from master techs who actually care about teaching

  • Doesn’t want to be stuck doing oil changes forever

  • Can handle a fast-paced shop with music, conversation, and zero micromanaging

  • Knows what it means to show up early, stay curious, and take pride in every bolt tightened

What you’ll do:

  • Support restoration and performance projects on vintage and classic vehicles

  • Learn diagnostic and fabrication skills from experienced pros

  • Work on custom builds that take weeks or months—not a 15-minute brake job

Perks:

  • $25–30/hr starting wage

  • Paid holidays (yes, even Christmas Eve)

  • PTO, 401(k) with 4% match, health benefits

  • Reimbursement for training & certifications

  • A career path, not just a wrench job
