Automotive Diagnostic Technician

Automotive Diagnostic Technician 

High End Shop | $30-$60 HOURLY + OVERTIME | Sherman Oaks, CA

If you're the technician other techs turn to when a vehicle doesn't make sense, we should talk.

AutoShop Recruiting has partnered with Sherman Oaks Exclusive to hire an experienced Automotive Diagnostic Technician who can independently diagnose complex electrical, drivability, mechanical and intermittent vehicle concerns.

European experience is NOT required.

We service everything from everyday domestic and Asian vehicles to BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Land Rover, Jaguar and other European and luxury brands. If you already have European experience, great. If you don't, but you have strong diagnostic fundamentals and want to expand your capabilities, we want to hear from you.

Why Consider Sherman Oaks Exclusive?

• Strong focus on diagnostics and complex repair
• Opportunity to work on a wide variety of vehicles
• Advanced diagnostic equipment and resources
• Established independent shop with a long history in Sherman Oaks
• Small-team environment where your technical ability matters
• Opportunity to expand your European and luxury diagnostic experience
• Growing operation with room for a strong technician to make an impact

What You'll Do

• Diagnose electrical and drivability concerns
• Analyze scan data and develop logical testing strategies
• Perform electrical testing and pinpoint faults
• Diagnose check-engine-light and performance concerns
• Troubleshoot complex mechanical problems
• Perform advanced mechanical repairs
• Verify root causes before recommending repairs
• Clearly document diagnostic findings
• Communicate effectively with the service team
• Complete quality repairs and verify the fix

What We're Looking For

• Strong professional automotive repair experience
• Proven electrical and drivability diagnostic ability
• Ability to independently troubleshoot difficult vehicle concerns
• Strong understanding of scan data and electrical testing
• Ability to develop a diagnostic strategy instead of relying on parts replacement
• Professional tools appropriate for the position
• Valid driver's license and insurable driving record

European experience is welcome—but not required.

We're much more interested in whether you understand how to diagnose a vehicle than whether you've spent your entire career working on one particular brand.

The Technician We're Looking For

You don't stop at the trouble code.

You want to know why the fault occurred, how to prove it and what will actually fix the vehicle.

You're comfortable when the diagnosis isn't obvious, you're willing to test before replacing parts and you take pride in solving problems other technicians struggle with.

If that sounds like you, we'd like to have a confidential conversation.

Apply Now

If you are an Automotive Technician, Diagnostic Technician, A-Level Mechanic, European Technician, or Luxury Vehicle Technician who wants a clean shop, strong opportunity, and serious growth potential, we would like to speak with you.

Apply through AutoShop Recruiting, managing this search on behalf of Sherman Oaks Exclusive.
