Work on the Cars You’ve Always Wanted to Build.
Houston Classic Carport is looking for an experienced Classic Car Technician to join our growing restoration team. This is an opportunity for a technician who knows classic cars, takes pride in their craftsmanship, and wants to work in a shop where the projects are anything but ordinary.
Our technicians have the opportunity to work on iconic classic cars, high-end restorations, custom builds, and true dream vehicles in a professional, state-of-the-art facility. If you enjoy solving problems, building things the right way, and seeing a project transform into something exceptional, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Do
- Perform mechanical repairs, restoration, and modifications on classic and vintage vehicles
- Diagnose mechanical and drivability concerns
- Install and integrate aftermarket performance and modernization components
- Work with custom suspension, steering, braking, fuel, cooling, and electrical systems
- Install and service aftermarket EFI, A/C, steering, and other modern systems
- Troubleshoot electrical and wiring concerns when needed
- Perform engine, fuel, ignition, and drivability diagnostics
- Modify, fit, and adapt components when off-the-shelf parts aren't enough
- Maintain a high standard of workmanship, cleanliness, safety, and attention to detail
- Document work performed and communicate repair findings with the shop team
What We're Looking For
We're looking for a technician with proven hands-on experience working with classic cars. This is not simply a general automotive repair position—we're looking for someone who understands the unique challenges of working with older vehicles and custom restorations.
Strong candidates will have experience with:
- Classic/vintage automobile restoration and repair
- Mechanical diagnostics and troubleshooting
- Aftermarket and performance parts installation
- Custom modifications and problem-solving
- Engine and drivability diagnostics
- Suspension, steering, braking, and fuel systems
Welding/fabrication experience is a strong plus, but is not required.
Electrical diagnosis and wiring experience is also a strong plus, but is not required.
Experience with EFI conversions, aftermarket A/C systems, modern steering systems, and other upgrades for classic vehicles is also highly valued.
Above all, we're looking for someone who is experienced, resourceful, detail-oriented, and takes pride in their work.
Compensation & Experience
Technicians with 15+ years of relevant classic-car experience may qualify for a salaried position rather than traditional flag-hour compensation.
We recognize that highly experienced restoration technicians bring a level of knowledge and craftsmanship that goes beyond simply turning hours. Our goal is to build a team where experienced professionals can focus on quality workmanship and exceptional vehicles, rather than constantly watching the clock.
Job Type: Full-time
Pay: $26.00 - $40.00 per hour
Expected hours: 40 per week
Work Location: In person
