J. Allen Ford – Service Technician | $30–$55/hour

Know your way around a Ford? We want to talk to you. Coming from another brand? We still want to talk to you.

Whether you’re chasing down an intermittent electrical gremlin on an F-150, working through an EcoBoost diagnosis, or tackling a Bronco or Super Duty that’s stumped everyone else, Ford experience gets you a head start here. Strong techs from other makes are welcome too. If you’ve got the skills and the drive, we’ll help you get up to speed on Ford.

We run an honest shop, and we’re building a team of honest, skilled technicians who take pride in doing the job right the first time. Here, top techs aren’t just “the guys in the back.” You’re the backbone of this dealership, and we treat you that way.

Why Techs Choose J. Allen

  • $30–$55 per hour, based on your skill. Your pay reflects your experience and certifications. The more you know, the more you earn.
  • Your career, your call. We provide paid Ford training and certification opportunities, and we expect you to take the wheel: set your goals, chase your certifications, and push yourself toward Senior Master and beyond. Techs who own their growth go far here.
  • A shop that backs you up. A team that values quality over shortcuts, with a Shop Foreman and Service Advisors who work with you, not against you.
  • Real room to grow. Clear paths for advancement, including opportunities to mentor the next generation of techs.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Diagnosing and repairing Ford vehicles using factory tools and procedures, from routine maintenance to complex drivability, electrical, and powertrain work (we’ll train you on Ford systems if you’re new to the brand)
  • Partnering with the Shop Foreman and Service Advisors to plan jobs and give accurate labor estimates
  • Keeping the service team in the loop on repair progress and any additional needs you uncover
  • Staying sharp on Ford TSBs, recalls, and factory updates
  • Helping develop technician trainees by sharing what you know
  • Following dealership policies and all safety and environmental regulations, including proper hazardous waste disposal

What We’re Looking For

  • Ford dealership experience and certifications (STST, Senior Master, etc.) preferred but not required. Experienced techs from other brands are encouraged to apply
  • Ownership of your professional development: you seek out training, stay current on new technology, and don’t wait to be told to level up
  • Strong understanding of automotive systems and the ability to document repairs clearly and accurately
  • Valid driver’s license and State Inspection License
  • High school diploma or GED, or an equivalent combination of technical training and experience
  • Integrity, a strong work ethic, and a can-do attitude
