Are you an experienced service technician who is tired of the flat-rate rat race, chasing hours, fighting chaos, poor dispatch, and sweating through the summer in a shop that does not have your back?

Thornton Automotive Dover is looking for skilled Automotive Service Technicians who want a better long-term home: a clean, organized, AIR-CONDITIONED service shop with strong family ownership, steady work, modern equipment, and a team that respects good technicians.
