A-Level / Master Automotive Technician

Paragon Automotive is hiring an experienced A-Level / Master Automotive Technician for our sister service locations on Indian River Road and S. Lynnhaven in Virginia Beach.

We are looking for a true diagnostic technician — someone who is strong with advanced drivability, electrical troubleshooting, wiring diagrams, modules, network communication, and complex repair work.

This is a great opportunity for a skilled technician who wants to work in a professional, well-equipped shop where their experience is respected.

This is not a quick-lube or basic maintenance-only position. We handle a wide range of diagnostic and repair work for retail customers, dealerships, fleets, and local businesses.

Pay

$30.00 – $45.00 per hour, based on experience and diagnostic ability.

This is a regular hourly position, not flat rate. Overtime is available.

What You’ll Do

• Diagnose and repair advanced mechanical, electrical, and drivability concerns
• Troubleshoot no-starts, intermittent issues, CAN-bus faults, module communication issues, and warning light concerns
• Read and interpret OEM wiring diagrams, schematics, service information, and repair procedures
• Use Snap-on and professional diagnostic platforms to perform accurate testing
• Perform complex repairs across a wide range of makes and models
• Help guide other technicians when needed
• Document findings clearly and professionally
• Maintain high standards for repair quality, safety, and shop cleanliness
• Assist with repair prioritization and workflow when appropriate

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience as an A-Level, Master, or Senior Automotive Technician
• Strong diagnostic background, especially with electrical and modern vehicle systems
• Ability to confidently read and troubleshoot wiring diagrams
• Experience with Snap-on diagnostic equipment
• OEM scan tool experience is a plus
• ASE certifications are a plus
• Virginia State Inspector license is a plus
• Valid driver’s license required
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team

The Right Fit

We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work and approaches diagnostics the right way. The ideal candidate is professional, reliable, organized, and able to solve difficult problems without guessing or rushing through repairs.

You should be comfortable working in a busy shop, communicating findings clearly, and helping maintain a positive team environment.

Why Work With Us

• Modern, well-equipped shop
• Professional-grade diagnostic tools and equipment
• Cloud-based repair information and service manuals
• Specialty tools, presses, pullers, and updated shop equipment
• Clean, organized facility
• Steady workload from retail customers, dealerships, fleets, and businesses
• Leadership that understands diagnostics and respects technician expertise
• Hourly pay instead of flat rate
• Overtime available
• Bonus incentives available
• Long-term growth opportunity
