Automotive Technician

Auto Tech –Family-Owned Sacramento Shop, 401(k) and Benefits / Weekends Off

Automotive Technicians:

We're not chasing warm bodies to fill a bay. We're building a sharp team — and we're serious enough about that to put expectations, pay, and growth in writing. No surprises. No games.

If you've got the work ethic and the will to grow, we'll give you the tools, the training, and the team to get there. We are in need of a tech with a minimum of 8 years or more of shop experience

HERE'S WHAT WE PROMISE OUR TECHS:

• $32–$35/hr to start — based on your current skill level
• Clear path to $38–$42/hr as you advance
• Bi-Weekly pay — no waiting around

Health Insurance

• Retirement plan with company match (confirm specifics with Adrian)
• Paid Time Off — plus major holidays
• No weekends — Monday through Friday, every week (we're closed Saturday and Sunday, period). Enjoy your family time
• Paid training — we cover the course and your time in the seat
• Large water coolers in the shop
• A clear development path so you know where you stand and how to move up
• ASE certifications — supported by the shop

THIS IS A REAL SHOP, NOT A REVOLVING DOOR

• Turning Wrenches is owned and operated by Adrian — I’m here every day. If you've got a question, you can ask me. If something needs to change, the person who can change it is in the building. That's not common anymore. That matters.

WE WILL KEEP YOU BUSY

• Turning Wrenches has built a loyal Sacramento customer base over 13+ years, with strong word-of-mouth, repeat clients, and a steady book of work — especially on Asian imports (we pick and choose what domestics we will work on). You won't be standing around wondering where the next ticket is coming from.

WORK-LIFE BALANCE (GET YOUR LIFE BACK!)

• Monday through Friday, 8 to 5. Closed Saturday. Closed Sunday. No "we open Saturdays now" surprise meetings. We mean it. Your weekends are yours to enjoy!

YOU WILL LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY

• We see a wide range of vehicles, with a real specialty in Asian imports — so there's always something to sharpen your skills on. And when you're ready to level up, we invest in the training that gets you there.

YOU WILL BE APPRECIATED (OPEN DOOR POLICY)

• Family-owned, owner-operated, decisions made onsite. Your voice matters here. If something's broken, you can say so — and someone who can actually fix it will be listening. We have a shop lunch two times a month. The last Friday of every month is a shop meeting

WE WILL HELP YOU BECOME MORE VALUABLE (WE INVEST IN YOU)

• ASE certifications, continuing education, and real support to grow. The better you get, the better we do — and we know it.

NO DRAMA — JUST GOOD WORK AND A GOOD CREW

• Life's too short for toxic shop politics. We don't tolerate it, so you won't deal with it. Just honest people doing honest work and taking care of each other. This is a team effort, not a " every man for himself attitude

YOU WILL NOT BE MICROMANAGED

• We'll tell you what we need, then we'll get out of your way.

YOU WILL ALWAYS KNOW WHERE YOU STAND

• Clear expectations. Honest feedback. No favorites, no mystery. You'll know exactly how you're doing and what it takes to move up.

YOU WILL BE PROUD OF THE WORK YOU DO HERE

• We're the shop that texts the customer a video of what's actually wrong (digital vehicle inspection). We back our repairs with a 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty. We don't oversell, we don't hide, and we don't cut corners. Customers tell their neighbors about us — because we earn it, one repair at a time.

HERE'S WHAT WE STAND FOR AND HOW WE TREAT OUR CUSTOMERS…

A REPUTATION BUILT ONE HONEST HANDSHAKE AT A TIME

• Sacramento drivers don't just come back to Turning Wrenches — they send their family, their neighbors, and their coworkers. That kind of loyalty isn't bought. It's earned, one honest repair at a time. But don't take our word for it…
• See what our customers are saying — search "Turning Wrenches Sacramento" on Google or Yelp.

About Company

Good day,

As the owner and operator of Turning Wrenches Auto Repair, I opened this shop in 2014 with a desire to offer the very best experience to all my clients and a place for fellow technicians to grow without the drama. The shop drama was another reason I decided to open my own shop. We offer a team environment that allows for growth and reward. Here is our customer promise: We are committed to ensuring that every vehicle we service meets the highest standards of performance and reliability. This is what motivates our team day by day. If this fits your core ethics, come join our team.
