Automotive Technician – Grand Rapids, MI

We're Building Something Great. Come Be Part of It.

At Righter's Auto Repair, we have a clear goal for our Grand Rapids location: to become the best automotive repair shop in the community. And we're not stopping until we get there.

We're not a dealership. We're not a single-store operation. We're an established, family-owned automotive repair company with multiple successful locations, proven systems, and the resources to compete at a high level.

We offer the stability, benefits, equipment, and opportunities of a larger organization without losing the teamwork, personal connection, and pride that make a great shop worth working for.

Our Grand Rapids location on Plainfield Avenue is growing, and we're looking for an Automotive Technician who wants to be part of building something exceptional.

This is an opportunity for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys solving problems, and wants to grow alongside a company that is committed to long-term success.


What Makes This Opportunity Different

We're building this location for the long haul.

You'll have the backing of an established organization, experienced leadership, proven processes, and a team that's committed to doing things the right way.

We're not looking for shortcuts or quick fixes. We're building a reputation, earning customer trust, and creating the kind of shop where great technicians want to spend their careers.

We have the resources of a larger company and the mindset of a team that still takes pride in every vehicle that leaves the bay.


How We Operate

Our core values aren't just words on a wall. They're the standards we hold ourselves and each other to.

Teachable – Stay curious, keep learning, and keep improving.

Resourceful – Solve problems, stay persistent, and work as a team.

Intentional – Plan ahead, communicate clearly, and pay attention to details.

Committed to Craft – Take pride in clean, accurate work. Every repair represents who we are.

Face the Storm – Handle hard things directly, take ownership, and keep moving forward.

  • A technician who takes pride in accurate diagnostics and quality repairs
  • Someone who values organization, efficiency, and clear communication
  • A team player willing to share knowledge and help others succeed
  • Someone who takes ownership of their work and stands behind it
  • A motivated individual who wants to grow professionally and help build a successful shop

What You'll Find Here

  • A growing location with significant long-term opportunity for labor hours and earning potential
  • Top pay with performance-based plans that reward hard work and growth
  • The stability and resources of an established, multi-location company
  • Clearly defined expectations and goals
  • Modern, clean facility with organized systems and straightforward processes
  • Professional equipment, diagnostic resources, and technical support
  • A team committed to quality repairs and continuous improvement
  • Opportunities for ongoing technical training and career development

We're looking for people who want to look back a few years from now and say, "I helped build that."
