Job description
High-Production Repair Technician (B-Level) | $40–$45/hr + Production Bonus | Up to $114K | Mon–Fri, No Weekends
Oakland, CA · Costa Auto Care and Tire · Family-owned since 1984
You like a full board. You move through brakes, suspension, and repairs efficiently, you do them right, and the car doesn't come back. You want a shop that keeps you busy and pays you for what you produce, without working Saturdays.
We're a family-owned independent shop that has served Oakland for over 40 years. The owner came up as a technician, and our shop runs on quality work and honest recommendations.
The pay
$40–$45/hr base (based on experience), 40 hours a week: $83,200–$93,600 a year
Plus $40 for every flag hour over 40 per week
Flag 50 hours in a 40-hour week and you earn $104,000–$114,000 a year
The base covers your hours. The bonus rewards production. Comeback hours don't count toward the bonus, so quality work pays.
The schedule
Monday–Friday, full-time. No weekends.
What you'll do
Brakes, suspension, steering, and general maintenance and repair
Intermediate engine, transmission, and drivability repairs
Perform complete digital vehicle health inspections, with clear photos and accurate findings the advisor can explain to the customer
Quality-check every repair before the car leaves your bay: verify the fix, road test when needed, and confirm nothing was left loose, leaking, or unfinished
Produce about 50 flag hours in a 40-hour week
Handle tire and alignment work when the shop needs backup
Work alongside our lead diagnostic technician and grow toward A-level
What we're looking for
5+ years of hands-on professional repair experience
Strong B-level skills: you complete assigned repairs independently and efficiently
A track record of quality work and low comebacks
Your own hand tools
ASE certifications preferred; smog license a plus
Someone who checks their own work and takes pride in it
A good teammate who communicates well with advisors and other techs
Equipment and software you'll have access to
Pico automotive oscilloscope
ATS eScan Elite drivability scan tool
Topdon Phoenix Max scan tool
Autoland scan tool
Opus IVS DrivePro remote diagnostic support
Shift software for managing inspections and diagnostics
AutoVitals digital inspections
Tekmetric shop management
Why techs stay here
An owner who understands the work
We sell what the inspection finds, not mileage packages. Honest work, honestly recommended.
AAA Approved shop with a written parts and labor guarantee
Health insurance, paid vacation, and paid sick leave
A lead diagnostic tech to learn from, and a real path to A-level
A small, stable team where your work gets noticed
