Auto Technician: Let’s be honest for a second... is this really the shop you saw yourself in five years ago?
Now, maybe nothing's technically wrong with your current shop.
The work comes in. The check clears. You know the guys.
But nothing's really right either.
The pay's been the same for longer than you'd like to admit. The boss means well, or maybe he doesn't, but either way nothing changes. You've got the skills to do more, handle more, earn more. You just don't have the opportunity where you're at.
And that quiet feeling that you could be somewhere better... somewhere that actually invests in you, respects what you bring to the table, and doesn't make you dread Monday morning... just won't go away.
You don't have to blow anything up to find out if something better exists.
Just keep reading.
GTM Automotive & Muffler has been a trusted name in Bolingbrook for over 25 years. Same location. Same loyal customer base that keeps coming back. Deep roots in the community.
There’s new ownership, and with it, a new energy. New lifts. New technology. A streamlined process that actually makes your day easier. And an owner who, when you tell him something's broken or missing, goes and gets it handled. Fast. No runaround. No waiting six months for a decision.

ABOUT GTM AUTOMOTIVE & MUFFLER
GTM Automotive has been serving drivers in Bolingbrook since 2002, same location, same community, same commitment to doing things right. For over 25 years this shop built a reputation on honest inspections, quality work, and treating customers like people instead of ticket numbers.
The current owner took over the business and brought a new energy with him. New lifts, updated technology, streamlined processes, and a culture that's shifting from the old "my way or the highway" to something a lot better to work in. The foundation is solid. The momentum is real.
And the right tech is going to walk into a shop with deep roots, a growing car count, and a lot of runway ahead.
SKILLS AND TRAITS THAT HELP YOU SHINE IN THIS ROLE
- 3 years experience required (5+ years preferred)in a professional auto repair facility
- Solid R&R skills - brakes, suspension, tires, wheel alignments
- Comfortable with light diagnostics - EVAP codes, check engine lights, O2 sensors, misfires
- Basic electrical diagnosis - starting, charging, and getting around an engine
- Light engine work - timing chains, timing belts, camshafts
- ASE Certification required
- Self-starter who figures things out rather than waiting to be told
- Curious enough to dig into a problem and find the answer, whether that's AllData, Identifix, or just asking a teammate
- Team player who asks questions when stuck and answers them when someone else is
- Valid driver's license and your own tools
BUT… this role isn't for someone who needs their hand held every step of the way.
However, if you're the kind of tech who takes pride in your work, communicates openly, and wants to be trusted to do your job... you'll fit right in here.
