San Jose, CA Automotive Technician 45 - 50

General Automotive Technician (B-Level)

Pay: $45–55/hr
Schedule: 4x10s (Mon–Thurs)
Location: San Jose, CA

Love the classics? Comfortable with diagnostics but tired of the production line grind? This is your chance to work on projects you’re actually proud of—and enjoy a 3-day weekend every week.

A San Jose-based restoration and fabrication shop is hiring a General Automotive Technician to join their small, skilled team. This is a rare opportunity to get out of the flat-rate hamster wheel and into a custom shop where quality matters more than quantity.

Here’s what makes this role different:

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

  • Fridays off—every week

  • Optional overtime available if you’re hungry for more

You’re the right fit if you:

  • Have 3–5 years of experience turning wrenches and solving problems

  • Are comfortable with diagnostics and electrical

  • Have a strong work ethic and a low tolerance for drama

  • Can handle a fast-paced, music-filled, collaborative environment

  • Want to do work that actually lasts

The shop offers:

  • Projects that range from $10K to $350K (yes, you read that right)

  • A tight team where everyone pulls their weight

  • Flexible training options and growth opportunities

  • Real pay for real skills: $45–55/hr based on experience

  • Paid holidays, 64 hours PTO, 401(k) match, and health coverage

This is the job for a tech who wants to elevate their craft—not just their hours billed. If you’re ready to step into something more meaningful, this is it.
