Salary Range: $24.00 To $26.00 Hourly

Automotive Instructor - Put Your Experience to Work (No Teaching Experience Needed)

Are you an experienced automotive technician who's tired of flat-rate pressure, weekend shifts, and the physical grind of the shop?

This is your opportunity to stay in the industry you love, share your real-world knowledge, and build a stable, rewarding career training the next generation of automotive professionals.

We're looking for skilled technicians - not career teachers. If you know the trade, we'll teach you how to teach.

What You'll Be Doing

As an Automotive Instructor, you'll bring hands-on shop experience into the classroom and lab, teaching students how the industry truly operates - not just what's written in a manual.

You will:

Teach hands-on automotive repair and diagnostic skills using real vehicles and shop equipment

Demonstrate proper safety procedures, tool usage, and repair techniques

Share troubleshooting strategies, customer service insights, and workflow best practices

Mentor students at various skill levels - from entry-level to advanced learners

Prepare students for industry certifications (ASE and state licensing where applicable)

Participate in paid training and ongoing professional development

Work independently while receiving support from an experienced education team

No lesson plans from scratch, no education degree required - we provide curriculum, training, and support.

Minimum Requirements

High School Diploma or GED

At least 3 years of hands-on automotive repair experience

ASE Certifications required within 6-12 months of hire

Strong knowledge of diagnostics, electrical systems, engine performance, and repair procedures

Ability to work independently and manage your day

Strong communication and organization skills

Why This Role?

No flat-rate stress. No weekend shop hours

Formal and on-the-job training to become an instructor

Make a meaningful impact on students' lives and careers

Extend your automotive career without the physical strain of daily shop work

If you're ready to step out of the service bay without stepping away from the industry, this could be the next great chapter of your career.
