First Stop Automotive in Ritzville Washington is looking to expand and hire a lead technician/ shop foreman.

We are a full service independently owned auto repair facility that is growing and needs an experienced tech that wants to grow with the company and become an intracell part of the business.

If you are a technician and you are reading this add, then there must be something missing from your current situation. We all know that technicians are in high demand in our industry, but that doesn't always mean you are treated and compensated fairly. Or maybe you were promised the world and it was never delivered. Well don't get discouraged, there are good shops and owners out there. We truly believe that we cant afford to let anymore good people leave the industry due to poor management and bad work environments.

Are you looking to continue to grow as a technician? do you want to learn the business side of the industry? Receive training and experience as a leader and manager? Or maybe you just feel like where you are is a dead end and you know you want something better. Then we are the right fit for you.

Job details:

First stop needs a motivated person who knows their way around vehicles, has experience and is ready to take their career to the next level. If you are driven and hard working and take pride in your work and have passion for the industry, then we can help with the rest.
We offer industry leading training in foreman and managerial positions. Work directly with a personal coach and the owner of the company to be guided to success as you build the skills needed to work your way up in the industry as a true professional.

First Stop has only been open a few months and has already exceeded our expectations for sales and customer satisfaction. Although the shop is newly opened, the owner has 2 other repair shops and has been in a shop owner for 14 plus years and a multi shop owner for 7years. He has spent years dialing in the process and learning the ins and outs of the auto repair industry.

If you've read this far and this sounds like something that you might be interested in, please reach out, lets have a conversation and chat about some of the finer details involved in the job. We understand this is a big decision and its something that has to work for both sides in order to be successful. We understand that Ritzville Washington isn't the most glamorous place on earth and it will take the right person to be able to accel in this location. If that is you then we can offer compensation for relocation or additional commute time. We are about an hour from Spokane or 45 minutes from Mosses lake. We want to make it worth while to the right person. If commuting is a consideration, we work 4 10's monday-thursday so enjoy a nice 3 day weekend every week.

Enjoy a mellow work environment, no micro management, room to grow, and come help build something truly special. Let us help take your career to the next level.
