Auto Technicians: Sick and tired of feeling like you’re giving everything to a shop that gives the bare minimum back?
Maybe the work is steady, but the energy is flat. Maybe you’re surrounded by decent techs, but no one’s really pushing to get better. Or maybe even you’re still busting your ass while the boss shrugs, the workflow stalls… and the promises of “growth” never turn into reality.
You do the hard jobs. You solve problems most people can’t even diagnose. But instead of getting a clear path forward… you only get more of the same.
If that hits home, it’s not because you’re crazy… it’s because you’ve outgrown the shop you’re in.
But here’s the good news: Menke’s Auto Repair in Newburgh is hiring.
Better yet, we’re a family-owned shop that’s been around since 1990, under current ownership since 2016… and we’re building something special.
We’re the kind of shop where leadership still cares about doing things right… both under the hood and in the way people are treated. Where new tools and new training aren’t “nice-to-haves,” but the standard.
Where no one’s working weekends because time with your family matters as much as the hours on your punch card.
So, if you’re an experienced technician, and you know deep down you’re ready for something better… then keep reading, my friend.

✅ ABOUT MENKE’S AUTO REPAIR
Menke’s Auto Repair has been part of the Newburgh community since 1990. We’re a family-owned, full-service shop that’s built our reputation on honesty, clean work, and doing things right the first time.
Under current ownership since 2016, we’ve continued growing… not just in car count or equipment, but in the kind of workplace people want to stay in for years. That’s why our techs stick around, our customers refer their friends, and our name is trusted across town.
We’re clean. We’re organized. We invest in equipment, training, and people… not just profits. And if there’s ever a way to make the shop better, we listen, we adapt, and we move.
This is the kind of place where you can do great work, build real relationships, and build a life… not just punch a clock.
✅ SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE THAT WILL HELP YOU SHINE HERE
- 5+ years of experience in a professional auto repair shop (required)
- Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting ability (or eagerness to get there)
- You’ve got your own tools and take pride in taking care of them
- You’re reliable, curious, and not afraid of a challenge
- You want to work with a team that respects your time, your craft, and your voice
- You’re done with ego-driven shops, toxic politics, and “just get it done” shortcuts
So, if you’re the kind of tech who cares about people, quality work, and a grow-or-die mindset… you’ll fit right in.
But, if you’d rather hide in the corner, dodge comebacks, or complain instead of collaborate… this probably isn’t the shop for you.
