Job Description:

Job Description Experienced Classic Car Mechanic - American Classics & Muscle CarsWe are an established classic car shop in the Houston area looking to add an experienced mechanic to our team.
Our shop works exclusively on American classic and muscle cars, with a strong focus on vehicles from the 1950s through the 1970s. We work on everything from routine mechanical repairs and diagnostics to major drivetrain, suspension, electrical, and restoration-related work.
This is not an entry-level position. We are looking for someone who already has hands-on experience working with older American vehicles and understands the differences between diagnosing a 50-year-old car and working on a modern vehicle.
Experience should include:
Carbureted engines and drivability diagnosis
Ignition systems, including points and electronic ignition
Engine mechanical diagnosis and repair
Cooling and fuel systems
Brakes, steering, and suspension
Manual and automatic transmissions
Automotive electrical diagnosis and wiring
Mechanical restoration and component replacement
Ability to diagnose problems rather than simply replace parts
Experience with Chevrolet, Pontiac, Ford, Mopar, Corvette, Camaro, Chevelle, Mustang, GTO, Firebird, C10 and similar American classics is highly desirable.
We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work, pays attention to detail, and treats customer cars with respect. Many of the vehicles we work on are valuable, restored, or irreplaceable, so workmanship and care matter just as much as speed.
You should be comfortable working independently, troubleshooting problems, and completing repairs correctly without needing constant supervision.

What we're looking for:

Professional automotive repair experience
Strong experience with classic American vehicles
Good diagnostic ability
Reliable and dependable
Organized and able to keep a clean work area
Own basic hand tools
Valid driver's license
Ability to communicate clearly with the rest of the shop

Classic-car restoration, hot rod, muscle-car, or specialty-shop experience is a major plus. Full-time position. Compensation is based on experience and skill level. If you have genuine experience working on American classics and muscle cars and are looking for a shop where that is what you get to work on every day, we'd like to hear from you. Please send your resume or a brief description of your experience, including the types of classic vehicles and mechanical work you have worked on. We pay hourly not flat rate.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
