Meineke S. Kirk is seeking a Lead Technician to anchor our service operations. We are a locally-owned shop focused on heavy diagnostics, electrical troubleshooting, and comprehensive repair—not just basic maintenance.

We are looking for a technician who wants to apply their experience to complex work without the distractions of a corporate dealership. You will have access to updated equipment (Autel/Hunter) and a workload that prioritizes major repairs over high-volume lube work.

The Shop Environment:

• Equipment: We run the Autel MS909 and a dedicated Hunter Alignment rack. The shop is fully tooled for complex diagnostics.

• Workflow: We prioritize comprehensive repair over high car counts. You will focus on diagnostics and heavy-line work, not fighting the clock on oil changes.

• The Transition: We understand the risk of moving shops. We provide a strong weekly guarantee during your onboarding period so you don't lose income while learning our flow.

The Pay & Schedule:

• Target Earnings: $80,000 - $110,000 annually (High Flat Rate).

• Schedule: 5-Day Work Week. Closed Sundays.

• Benefits: Health Insurance packages available.

• Support: Dedicated Service Manager to sell your tickets—you diagnose it, we sell it.

Qualifications:

• Diagnostics: You must be comfortable with electrical, drivability, and complex engine repairs.

• Leadership: You set the tone for quality in the back of the shop.

• The Skills: ASE Certifications are a plus, but we value real-world diagnostic ability over a piece of paper. If you can fix it right the first time, we want to talk to you.

Location: Meineke Car Care Center - S. Kirkwood Rd, Houston TX

Compensation: $80,000.00 - $110,000.00 per year
