Start a Career with Karfix

Location: Holland, MI
Hours: Full-time (Mon–Fri typical)

This is an entry-level position built to turn someone who can hustle and learn into a productive automotive technician. You’ll start in QC — doing final inspections, cleaning cars, running parts, and keeping the shop safe and stocked — but this role is explicitly a training track. We’ll help you get your trainee permit, give you paid hands-on learning time during downtime, and promote from within when you’re ready.

What you’ll do

• Run the shop’s QC inspection on every completed repair order and perform a mini-clean before customer pickup.

• Verify repairs were completed to spec; document and report any rework.

• Keep shop floors, bathroom, and grounds clean and stocked.

• Drive company vehicle for parts runs and customer shuttles when needed.

• Help prep and maintain loaner cars when required.

• Use downtime to train on real vehicle work under supervision.

Why this is different

• This is a real pathway into tech work, not just a janitor job. We pay you to learn on cars.

• We’ll help you get your trainee permit and schedule training time.

• Strong performers get priority for technician openings and apprenticeships.

Who we want

• Someone who wants to be a technician and is willing to do the work it takes to get there.

• Basic automotive familiarity — can identify under hood components, change a tire, check fluids.

• Valid US driver’s license and ability to drive with passengers.

• Able to lift 50 lbs and do physical shop tasks (sweeping, bending, using floor machines).

• Good attitude, reliable, shows up on time, and can communicate with customers professionally.

• Able to read/write English and do basic math.

What you’ll get

• Paid, on-the-job training and supervised practice on cars.

• Trainee permit support (we’ll help you through the paperwork/training).

• Clear path to technician role for people who learn fast and show up.

• Competitive pay and benefits.
