Experienced Auto Tech - Up to $120K / Health, Dental, Vision

Auto Technicians: Ever feel like you’re the one carrying the shop on your back… and no one seems to notice?

You’re the tech everyone turns to. The problem-solver. The one who actually cares about doing quality work.

But even with all that, you still end up in a shop where processes are loose, communication disappears when you need it, and you’re carrying the weight for people who don’t take the job as seriously as you do.

Yet, you already know you could thrive in the right environment. One with leadership that gets the technical side, a team that actually pulls in the same direction, and owners who don’t disappear or micromanage… but step in when you need support.

That’s why Shores Car Care stands out.

You see, we’re a family-owned shop that’s been rooted in St. Clair Shores for more than 20 years, led by two brothers who truly understand both sides of the business. Karl came up as a dealership tech, so he knows exactly what it feels like to be in your shoes. Nate came from service writing and customer relations, so he knows how to keep the front running smoothly without throwing chaos onto the back.

And together, they’ve built something techs wish more shops actually delivered: process, transparency, steady workflow, real communication, and a no-drama environment where you’re trusted to do your job… without eyes over your shoulder.

So, if you’re the kind of technician who takes pride in doing things right, wants room to grow, and is looking for a long-term career instead of just another job…

Then keep reading, my friend, Shores Car Care is exactly the kind of shop you’ve been looking for.

ABOUT SHORES CAR CARE

Shores Car Care opened its doors in 2002 with a simple mission: build a shop where great technicians can do great work without the chaos, politics, or pressure that ruin this industry for so many.
