Experienced Automotive Technicians: Are you tired of feeling like just another number in a shop that doesn't understand the challenges you face every day?
Frustrated by bosses who've never turned a wrench telling you how to do your job?
We get it.
At CT's Automotive, we do things differently.
Since 2009, we've been building a shop where skilled technicians like you can thrive. Our owner, Chris, is an ASE Master Certified technician who worked for 10 years at a GM dealership before opening his own shop. He knows exactly what obstacles you face because he's been in your shoes.
Imagine working for someone who actually understands your daily challenges and has structured the shop to work FOR technicians, not against them.
We're looking for experienced automotive technicians who are ready to join a team that values expertise, integrity, and building lasting relationships - not just with customers, but with each other.
