Why Technicians Love Working Here

We understand that great technicians want to spend their time diagnosing and repairing vehicles—not getting bogged down with unnecessary tasks.

That's why our technicians do not perform Digital Vehicle Inspections (DVIs). Dedicated team members handle inspections and documentation so technicians can stay productive, efficient, and focused on turning hours.

Our leadership philosophy centers around:

Respect
Accountability
Professionalism
Communication
Continuous Improvement

We actively seek technician feedback and involve our team in improving shop processes through regular meetings and open communication.

If you're tired of inconsistent work, weak leadership, excessive micromanagement, or dead-end shops, Six Star Automotive offers a refreshing alternative.

After you apply, you'll receive an automated text message with a phone number you can call at your convenience to complete the interview.
