Automotive Service Technician European Vehicles Repair and Diagnostics AutoGermany - Edmonton, Alberta Expected annual earnings: $75,000-$120,000 CAD Monday-Friday 8:30 AM-5:00 PM Most shops say they understand technicians. At AutoGermany, the owners still work in the bays. Alex and Oleg met while working as technicians at a European repair shop. Both were passionate about BMWs, serious about quality, and convinced there was a better way to run a shop. They wanted to create the workplace they had always looked for themselves: one where technicians are respected, workmanship matters, and people have the equipment and support to solve problems properly. That vision became AutoGermany. Since opening in 2018, AutoGermany has grown into an eight-hoist European repair facility with a loyal customer base, modern diagnostic equipment, and a reputation built on honesty. The shop works exclusively on European vehicles and is preparing for its next stage of growth. We are now looking for an experienced Automotive Service Technician. There is room for either an advanced diagnostic technician or a dependable production technician who performs high-quality work efficiently. The position, workload, and compensation will be matched to the capabilities of the person hired. Work That Makes Use of Your Ability This is not a shop built around rushing vehicles through the bays or replacing parts until a problem disappears. AutoGermany wants technicians who think, test, verify, and take pride in getting the answer right. The shop services European vehicles exclusively and offers a mix of maintenance, repair, electrical, drivability, and diagnostic work. Technicians have access to Autel, Launch, and OEM diagnostic equipment, along with an individual computer at each workstation. A typical day may include: * Diagnosing electrical, drivability, warning-light, and performance concerns * Completing maintenance and mechanical repairs on European vehicles * Performing thorough digital vehicle inspections * Documenting findings clearly for the service team * Verifying repairs before vehicles are returned to customers * Communicating with the advisor and other technicians when a job requires * additional information or support * Helping maintain the quality and consistency customers expect from * AutoGermany Difficult diagnostic work is given the attention it deserves. When someone needs uninterrupted time to work through a complex problem, the owners and team make an effort to protect that time rather than constantly pulling the technician in different directions. A Better Alternative to Traditional Flat Rate Expected annual earnings range from $75,000-$120,000 CAD. A solid production technician can realistically expect to earn approximately $75,000- $85,000 annually. A highly capable European diagnostic technician can earn toward the upper end of the advertised range. Compensation includes a dependable hourly rate based on experience and demonstrated ability, plus an efficiency incentive that rewards production. This provides the stability of hourly pay while still giving strong technicians an opportunity to increase their earnings. The complete pay plan, including the proposed hourly rate and how the incentive is calculated, will be reviewed clearly during the interview process. Built and Led by Technicians The difference at AutoGermany is not a slogan or a poster on the wall. It starts with ownership. Both owners understand what it is like to face a difficult diagnosis, work around an incomplete history, wait for an approval, or need the right information before moving forward. They remain hands-on, approachable, and open to employee feedback. In fact, the current technician compensation plan was developed in response to feedback from the team. We hold a short meeting each morning to keep communication and workflow on track. Questions, ideas, and concerns can be brought directly to
