Jobs at VanGo

Now Hiring: Auto Technician

VanGo Auto, St. Paul’s go-to for German and foreign auto repair, is on a mission to change the way people experience car care. We’re searching for a skilled technician that truly cares about customers for 40 hours of the week and then goes home to enjoy life with family, friends, and hobbies.

Why VanGo Is a One-of-a-Kind Place to Work:

  • At VanGo, there’s no shady repairs, no intense pressure to spend money, no elevated dealership pricing, and no confusion.
  • Just real relationships, real evidence, and expert car doctors that customers can trust.
  • We empower our customers with honest info and clear options, putting them in the driver’s seat when it comes to decisions about their car’s health.
  • If that sounds like the kind of small business you’d be proud to represent, keep reading.

What you can expect:

  • 4-day workweek, if desired and every weekend is yours
  • Good, consistent salary – no anxiety about what your paycheck is each week, no hustle for extra hours needed
  • Generous PTO + holiday pay + a paid February week off + extra time at Christmas
  • Air-conditioned, clean, organized shop
  • Healthcare + matching retirement
  • At-cost parts, uniforms, paid ongoing training
  • Have real input in shop operations – not a top-down company
  • A team that genuinely supports each other and the community

Who we are searching for:

  • An experienced technician that brings good energy
  • Thorough and efficient, and takes pride in their work.
  • Being skilled matters and so does being a good, positive person.
  • Has a good set of tools and toolbox

Note about salary:

  • Other shops may offer a higher pay range but expect 50+ hours a week to get to $100,000. This means you lose 500 hours of life. VanGo offers a comparable hourly rate but doesn’t insist on you working your days away.
  • VanGo pays a good salary to eliminate pay anxiety and burnout, to enhance teamwork and an enjoyable work experience.
  • VanGo pays for the 40 hours you are present, period. No pressure to clock extra time to make a decent living.
