Want to hire: experienced mechanic

http://innovativetuning.com/images/uploads/temp/logo332px.jpg

I’m looking to add another motivated individual to the Innovative Tuning team in a mechanic/tech position. I’m considering part time and full time applications at this time.

APPLICANTS MUST HAVE:
-Significant mechanical experience pertaining to high performance work and general maintenance and repair.

-Excellent mechanical understanding. We aren’t doing brake jobs and mounting tires all day. Custom high performance work involves careful thought and execution.

-Extreme attention to detail. Our customers have come to expect a lot more of us than they would other shops. That’s a beautiful thing and I intend to keep it that way. Making sure all jobs are completed carefully and thoroughly is a must. If you cannot handle constructive criticism and/or direction on your work you need not apply. We definitely do a lot of things differently than the average shop so you must be willing to accept new methods.

-Solid interpersonal skills. If you aren’t friendly, articulate, and intelligent, you won’t fit in here.

-High performance automotive knowledge and interest. The more the better, but I don’t expect you to know it all. We’re passionate about what we do here and I will expect that same enthusiasm from a new employee. This is not a cookie cutter tech job. If automotive performance isn’t something you’re interested in, this isn’t the job for you.

-Ability to multi-task in a fast paced work environment.

-Willingness to take on new tasks and learn more about automotive performance.

-Automotive tools. I have certain specialty tools for the shop like leakdown, wheel bearing etc. tools, but you must have your own ratchets, sockets, wrenches and other basic automotive tools.

Pay depends on experience, automotive knowledge, etc.

There will be a paid trial period where you come in and work part time alongside one of our existing mechanics so we can get a better feel for your level of experience and to see if your personality will fit in well with our team before a formal hiring. This is also to ensure that our high quality standards are upheld at all times.

If interested, please e-mail a resumè to service@innovativetuning.com
After reviewing resumès we will contact some of you for an interview.

Please be warned:
This is a serious job and while we do have our fair share of fun here, it’s as real as a job gets and I expect your best during work hours.:tup:

We specialize in Japanese cars, but do work on some European and domestic vehicles depending on the situation. Applicable experience on non Japanese cars is acceptable.

I’ve had some solid applicants over the years who simply didn’t have enough experience to bring on during our busy season so I apologize to those applicants looking to get their foot in the door at a good shop. Our customers and I expect only the best and this time of year we cannot consider bringing someone up to speed who has little experience.

I just made the decision to leave BMW after 4 years, and this would be a nice move…

I’ve already accepted an offer at another shop, but out of curiosity would this be flat rate, hourly, or salary?

edit: I would think most performance shops arent flat rate because the nature of the work, but just verifying

Sent one in…

Good luck with the hunt Mike!

I really laughed at this line.

I want to thank everyone that applied. We had some great applicants, but I’ve been holding out for someone with more experience and it turns out he found us without knowing we were hiring. He’s moving from out of state to work with us and he brings years of experience in building performance street and race cars as well as welding and fabrication skills.

Thank you again. I was truly honored to receive so many quality applications.
