Why Technicians Love Working Here
We understand that great technicians want to spend their time diagnosing and repairing vehicles—not getting bogged down with unnecessary tasks.
That's why our technicians do not perform Digital Vehicle Inspections (DVIs). Dedicated team members handle inspections and documentation so technicians can stay productive, efficient, and focused on turning hours.
Our leadership philosophy centers around:
-
Respect
-
Accountability
-
Professionalism
-
Communication
-
Continuous Improvement
We actively seek technician feedback and involve our team in improving shop processes through regular meetings and open communication.
If you're tired of inconsistent work, weak leadership, excessive micromanagement, or dead-end shops, Six Star Automotive offers a refreshing alternative.
Our team genuinely cares about each other and works together to create a positive, productive workplace where people enjoy coming to work every day.
What You'll Do
-
Diagnose and repair a wide range of vehicle issues
-
Perform maintenance and repair services efficiently and accurately
-
Conduct inspections and communicate findings clearly
-
Work closely with service advisors and team members
-
Maintain a clean and organized work area
-
Follow shop processes, safety standards, and quality expectations
-
Contribute ideas that help improve shop operations and customer service
You'll Do Well Here If You:
-
Have professional automotive repair experience
-
Can properly diagnose and complete repairs independently
-
Show up on time and ready to work
-
Take pride in doing the job right the first time
-
Work well in a fast-paced environment
-
Bring a positive attitude and team mentality
-
Communicate professionally with teammates and customers when needed
-
Take ownership of your work and contribute to a positive shop culture
-
Want to continue learning and growing your skillset

ASE Certifications

Experience in independent shops or dealerships
The Bottom Line
If you want to work in a shop where your experience matters, your time is respected, and your earning potential reflects your skill level—this is your opportunity.
We believe great technicians deserve strong leadership, clear communication, quality equipment, consistent work, and the ability to focus on what they do best: fixing vehicles.
Join a shop where technicians are supported, appreciated, and given the tools they need to succeed.
