Daybreak Metro is a successful, established repossession company operating throughout California, with an in-house locksmith service supporting our internal operations. We're looking for a motivated individual to apprentice under a licensed locksmith and build a long-term, hands-on trade skill — no experience necessary.
About the Role
You'll train directly under our licensed locksmith, working out of our San Jose base and riding along to yards across the greater Bay Area, including San Jose, Newark, Richmond, and Benicia. Our mobile key van is outfitted with the latest key-cutting machines and programming software, giving you real, current-generation tools to learn on from day one.
This is outdoor, hands-on work with a variety of vehicles — you'll need to be comfortable working in all weather conditions and getting a little dirty. In return, you'll get paid, structured training toward a California Locksmith license and a stable, long-term role with a growing company.
What You'll Do
- Apprentice under a licensed locksmith on live jobs across Bay Area locations
- Learn key cutting, automotive key programming, and lock servicing on various vehicles
- Receive on-the-job training in advanced locksmith and key programming techniques
- Travel between yards as part of a mobile key van team
What We're Looking For
- Dependable, punctual, and committed to learning a skilled trade
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation to work
- Own cell phone
- 23 years of age or older (insurance requirement)
- Able to pass a drug screening
- Current California Locksmith license, or eligibility to obtain one through the State of California

- $20–$22/hour
- Paid training — no experience required
Benefits
- 80% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 100% company-paid life insurance policy
- 401(k) with 4% company match
- Company paid California Locksmith license
About Daybreak Metro
DISCOVER WHAT MAKES OUR REPOSSESSION COMPANY UNIQUE
Our Story
The DayBreak Metro team has combined experience of over 50 years serving both captive auto finance, local credit union, national and regional subprime lenders with industry leading location, repossession, locksmithing and transportation services.
In October 2014, new management acquired and revolutionized the operations of DayBreak Metro Inc. - what was then a small Silicon Valley based repossession services company.
Since that time, the company has undergone major changes and the introduction and wider adoption of state-of-the-art technology for auto location, tracking, and repossession.
This focus on technology and lightning fast communication has served to successfully grown the brand, from one loved by its local clients and employees to a nationally recognized brand on which our clients depend.
Why We’re Different
As a mid-sized regional outfit, we are nimble enough to consistently provide fast, high-touch service whereby our client-facing staff has local decision making authority.
We have the resources, infrastructure, processes and governance over our operations that makes us more effective than larger national competitors.
In this way, we're able to provide exceptional service quality and results to both our clients and their customers.
Our Mission
The Daybreak Metro mission is to execute a positive affect upon location and repossession service segments of the Financial Services sector through the multiple product offerings and outstanding service.
Our Vision
To become a nationally recognize brand by delivering the best service in the industry. To continue innovating and leveraging the latest technology to better serve the needs of our clients.
Our Values
