Start a Career with 55 Tires and Service

Master / A-Level Automotive Technician | Up to $55/Flag Hour | No Weekends

55 Tires & Service is hiring a Master / A-Level Automotive Technician in South St. Louis County.

We understand the technician we are looking for probably already has a job.

But if you are reading this and you do not feel respected, paid fairly, supported by your front office, or appreciated where you are now, we should talk.

We are not hiring because we are slow.

We are hiring because we are a busy 9-bay tire and full-service automotive repair shop with strong tire, alignment, maintenance, diagnostic, and repair volume. We need another high-level technician to help us keep up.

If you are tired of sitting around waiting on cars, dealership politics, warranty-time frustration, weak pay plans, poor communication, broken promises, or feeling like just another number, this may be the move.

55 Tires & Service has served the St. Louis area for the past 29 years. We are a second-generation, family-owned shop with a 4.6-star Google rating and 553 Google reviews.

We are Ford Elite certified, CARFAX Top Shop 2023–2025, a Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite multiple years, and the only BG Platinum shop in St. Louis County.

• Up to $40-$55 per flagged hour for the right Master / A-Level technician
• Up to $3,000 sign-on bonus for the right candidate, paid in stages
• Toolbox tow covered for the right technician
• No weekends

DO YOU WANT?

• A busy shop that can feed you work?
• A clear pay plan?
• Service advisors focused on keeping work moving?
• No warranty-time dealership games?
• No weekends?
• No late nights?
• Good equipment?

NOTE FROM DREW, OWNER

I grew up in this business. 55 Tires & Service has been family-owned since 1997, and I know how important good technicians are to the success of the shop.

My job is to keep the bays full, provide the right equipment, support the team, and create a place where good people can make good money without giving up every night and weekend.

We are not perfect, and I am not going to pretend we are. But we are serious about improving, growing, and building the kind of shop good technicians want to be part of.

Strong experience preferred in:

• Diagnostics
• Drivability
• Electrical
• HVAC
• Brakes
• Suspension
• Steering
• Alignments
• Engine repairs
• Maintenance
• Domestic, Asian, and some European vehicles

Requirements and preferences:

• Strong diagnostic and repair ability
• Missouri State Inspector License preferred
• ASE certifications valued, but not required
• Valid driver’s license
• Own professional tools
• Able to document findings clearly
• Able to communicate with advisors and teammates

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR

This is not for someone who creates chaos, cuts corners, avoids diagnostics, refuses documentation, or needs to be chased around to do quality work.

We want someone professional, reliable, and serious about their craft.
