Automotive Technician - Steady Hourly Pay

Automotive Technician | Three-Day Weekends | $33–$35/hr | Manchester, WA
Sound Mechanical & Calibrations in Manchester is hiring an experienced Automotive Technician. This isn’t engine rebuilds or diesel work. You’ll handle post-collision mechanical, electrical, EV and ADAS work on today’s most advanced vehicles. If you’re confident around high-voltage systems and love solving complex electrical problems, this is your kind of shop. Skip the commute across the water and work close to home.
Why Murray’s
Sound Mechanical & Calibrations is the mechanical and calibration shop within Murray’s Collision Group, a family-owned company that has served the Puget Sound since 1984 and is still led by the Murray family today. We run CARSTAR and Fix Auto collision centers across the region, including Tesla-certified repair centers, and our shops have earned more than 1,500 Google reviews from customers who trust our work. We’re still growing too, adding a new location just this year. You get the stability and benefits of an established group with the feel of a family business, where your name and your work matter.
Why techs choose us
Steady hourly pay, not flat rate. $33–$35 an hour based on experience, roughly $68,000 to $73,000 a year. Your paycheck doesn’t depend on flagged hours.
Three-day weekends or short Fridays. Choose a 4x10 schedule, or work Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Weekends off, and we work hard to keep it that way.
Work on the newest technology. EVs, hybrids, ADAS calibrations and advanced electrical systems, not oil changes.
Consistent workflow. A reliable flow of vehicles from across our growing group of collision shops.
Training. Ongoing I-CAR training and support on evolving automotive technologies.
Benefits after 90 days. Medical, dental, vision and life insurance, a 401(k) with a 2% match, paid holidays plus PTO.
