The Neighbor's Kid Auto Repair in Graton & Healdsburg is looking for a C tech to join the team in December.
Location: Healdsburg, CA
Company Overview:
As 5th-generation Healdsburg residents and local car enthusiasts, we are an established father-and-son owned automotive repair shop based in Graton, now opening a brand new shop from scratch in Healdsburg. Starting from the Windsor Pick-n-Pull, Friday car meets, and weekend track days at Thunderhill and Sonoma Raceway, our father-and-son team transformed a shared hobby into a thriving automotive business. While we're BMW enthusiasts at heart, we have a passion for all makes and models, leaning heavily towards JDM vehicles. Our 5,000 sq. ft. shop in Graton has grown rapidly, and we're excited to expand our team at our new location in Healdsburg.
We employ former dealer and factory-trained ASE Master Technicians who work alongside graduates from SRJC's trade school, fostering an environment of collaboration and growth.
