Rivers Auto Solutions Hiring for Full-Time Auto Mechanic Job at Salt Lake City, UT Full Time

If you have worked on more Found On Road Dead vehicles than you can count, and are someone that has fixed enough Subaru oil leaks and head gaskets that you could probably do it blindfolded with one hand tied behind your back if you had to… You may just be the Silver Tuna we have been looking for.

Rivers Auto Solutions is an up-and-coming used car dealership and repair facility in Salt Lake City. We are looking for skilled technicians to join out team. Over the past 5 years, we have developed an awesome system of acquiring cars that need new life breathed into them. That is where you would come in.

We buy and sell over 100 cars each month, some of them are complete junk and are only good for scrap metal, and some of them have the potential of being a good running reliable car again with a little TLC.

We are looking for experienced motivated technicians to join us in our goal to provide honest and reliable vehicles to our customers. The starting pay is $35/hr Flat rate for the first 30 hours of production per week and $45/hr for every hour above and beyond 30. ($1050/wk-30hrs, $1500/wk-40hrs production)

Here is an estimator of what your annual gross income would be depending on the number of production you are able to hit on average.

30Hours / week Average– >$54,600/ yearly base + comissions

35Hours / week Average– >$66,300/ yearly base + comissions

40Hours / week Average– >$78,000/ yearly base + comissions

45Hours / week Average– >$89,700/ yearly base + comissions

50Hours / week Average– >$101,400/ yearly base + comissions

Day to day responsibilities include performing 133-point used car inspections to identify issues with the brakes, suspension, heating, and cooling systems, seat belts, radios, check engine lights, timing belts, TPMS lights, airbag lights in order to give us a solid idea of whether or not the car is worth fixing. Once you get the budget approved with the service manager, we will get all the parts rounded up for you to knock out the repairs. The most technical we get is replacing timing chains on the 6 cylinder GMs, you may occasionally be needed to diag electrical issues or drivability issues but that isn’t very often. For the most part, it’s just checkouts and R&R’s.

This position is for someone who is hungry, skilled, experienced, and ready for a stable workflow and stable paycheck. We work on budget-friendly $2k-$15k cars so there is not a lot of room for error. Accuracy is crucial.

The majority of the cars we work on are domestic or Japanese/Korean built we very seldomly do diesel or European cars. We use Mitchell book hours to determine the flat rate hours for the jobs we do. However, if you spent extra time on a rusted bolt or a faulty used part we will always add extra time and error on the side of making sure you are taken care of.

In the 5 years we have been doing this there has never been a day where there wasn’t at least 20 cars lined up waiting to get checked out and fixed. For someone who is motivated and skilled to beat book time flagging 40-50 hours every single week would be no problem at all. Bare minimum we need someone who can hit 60 hours every 2 weeks to keep up with the demand we have at the shop. However, while keeping up with production is a must, speed isn’t everything. We need someone who seldomly has comebacks and gets the job done right the first time. For insurance purposes, you do have to be 21 years old or older for this job You also must meet the following requirements:

1. have at least 4 years of professional experience fixing cars

2. have a valid drivers license free of any DUI’s or suspensions

3. You must be able to pass a background check and drug screening

4. Ability to work in a team. For the most part, you will work independently without someone looking over your shoulder, but on many projects, we collaborate between multiple people so you need to be a team player.

You don’t need to be ASE certified for the job, as long as you can consistently produce quality checkouts, and have consistent production of 30-50 production hours each week you will be a great fit here.

You will need to have your emissions certificate, if you don’t have it you can complete it online once you have been hired.

Some of the other perks of this job are that you won’t have to work weekends, we are closed on Saturday and Sunday. Our hours during the week are 9 AM – 6 PM. There are no late nights or early mornings either. You will get 12 days a year of Paid Time Off to use at your discretion or get paid out at the end of the year. After 60 days you will also be able to opt into health care benefits.

We have a super tight-knit team here and are excited to add someone hungry and knowledgeable to help us grow to the next level. Please fill out the application and send us your resume if you are interested. If you have any questions feel free to call or text me at 801-441-0813.
