Auto Technicians: Ever get that feeling in the pit of your stomach on Sunday night… knowing you’re about to walk back into the same chaos again Monday morning?
You know the feeling, right?
You walk into the shop already mentally preparing yourself.
Another day of chasing parts. Another day cleaning up other people’s messes. Another day dealing with disorganized workflow, weak communication…
And management that somehow still can’t figure out why the good techs keep getting frustrated.
The worst part? The harder you work and the more dependable you are, the more gets dumped on your plate.
You’re the guy everyone leans on.
The difficult diagnostics. The comeback problems. The customers who are already upset. The jobs nobody else can figure out.
But instead of feeling respected for it?
You just feel exhausted.
Now, maybe your current shop isn’t “terrible “, or perhaps, the pay’s even decent…
But deep down, you know something’s off.
Because when a shop is run right, you shouldn’t feel mentally drained before the day even starts. You shouldn’t feel like the only adult in the building.
And you definitely shouldn’t feel like your experience is being wasted in a shop that’s stuck in survival mode.
At Grove Street Auto Group, we’ve spent the last 27+ years building family-owned shops where experienced technicians are respected, supported, and set up to succeed. With locations in Franklin and continued growth around the Easton, Mansfield, and Walpole areas, we’re looking for experienced technicians who want to be part of a strong, well-run shop group.
No corporate politics. No nonstop micromanaging. No favoritism. No weekends.
Just a clean, organized shop… good people… steady workflow… modern equipment… and leadership that actually understands what it’s like to turn wrenches for a living.
The best part? We’re looking for experienced technicians who take pride in doing things the right way and want to help us continue to build something solid.
Because if you’re going to spend 40+ hours a week somewhere…you deserve to work in a shop that gives a damn about the people keeping it running.

ABOUT Grove Street Auto Group
Grove Street Auto Group has been serving Franklin and the surrounding Massachusetts communities since 1998. What started as one family-owned repair shop has grown into one of the area’s most trusted independent automotive groups by doing things the right way: treating customers honestly, investing in good people, and creating shops where technicians can actually build long-term careers.
Today, our group includes Grove Street Auto Repair, Advanced European Repair, and ShovelTown Auto with planned growth in our future.
We’re not trying to become some giant corporate chain. We’re focused on building clean, well-run shops with strong cultures, steady workflow, modern equipment, and teams that genuinely enjoy working together.
We believe good technicians deserve:
Respect. Support. Training. A life outside the shop…
And a workplace they’re proud to be part of.
That’s the kind of environment we’re working hard to build every single day.
SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE THAT WILL HELP YOU SHINE HERE:
- 5+ years of professional automotive repair experience preferred
- Strong diagnostic and drivability skills
- European vehicle experience is a plus (but not required)
- ASE certifications are appreciated - and we’ll help you earn more
- You take pride in quality workmanship and fixing vehicles the right way
- You work well with a team and don’t bring drama into the shop
- You’re dependable, honest, and motivated to continue growing
- You want more than “just another job” - you want a long-term career with good people
Now… If you’re looking for a place where you can quietly coast, avoid accountability, or create problems for the team… this probably isn’t the shop for you.
But… if you’re a professional who takes pride in your craft and wants to work somewhere that actually respects experienced technicians, we’d love to talk.
