About The Position

Meineke Bear Creek is seeking a Lead Technician to anchor our service operations. We are a locally-owned shop focused on heavy diagnostics, electrical troubleshooting, and comprehensive repair—not just basic maintenance. We are looking for a technician who wants to apply their experience to complex work without the distractions of a corporate dealership. You will have access to updated equipment (Autel/Hunter) and a workload that prioritizes major repairs over high-volume lube work. The Shop Environment: Equipment: We run the Autel MS909 and a dedicated Hunter Alignment rack. The shop is fully tooled for complex diagnostics. Workflow: We prioritize comprehensive repair over high car counts. You will focus on diagnostics and heavy-line work, not fighting the clock on oil changes. The Transition: We understand the risk of moving shops. We provide a strong weekly guarantee during your onboarding period so you don't lose income while learning our flow. The Pay & Schedule: Target Earnings: $80,000 - $110,000 annually (High Flat Rate). Schedule: 5-Day Work Week. Closed Sundays. Support: Dedicated Service Manager to sell your tickets—you diagnose it, we sell it. As a leader in the automotive aftermarket, Meineke is constantly looking for driven and talented individuals to join our team. In over 700 shops spanning coast-to-coast, we look for those who share our passion for high quality repair work to help get our customers back on the road. A career with Meineke means putting your knowledge and hard-earned skills to work in a locally-owned shop. Whether you’re looking for a position as a Shop Manager, Technician, or Service Advisor, Meineke provides opportunities for real-world experience in your local area.

Requirements

ASE Certifications are a plus, but we value real-world diagnostic ability over a piece of paper. If you can fix it right the first time, we want to talk to you.
