About the Job
Auto Mechanic Job Summary:
We are neither Franchised nor Private Equity owned . The Owner Bob Saladna started repairing cars out of his mother's garage in 1979 and he still runs the company today.

We also understand that each shop location is slightly different which is why we allow each manager flexibility to manage their location differently. Most importantly you are not a number. Most technicians have been with us for 5+ years. We offer a family atmosphere with focus on a positive work enviroment.
We are looking for talented automotive mechanics to join our growing company. The individual in this role will be responsible for servicing and repairing European, Domestic, and Japanese cars.

About European Service Center:
ESC Auto Group is the parent company for European Service Center and European Motor Cars, which was founded in 1979 by Bob Saladna in his mothers garage back in 1979. Since our humble beginnings we have become the largest independent strictly European Automotive Repair Business in the United States. We have multiple locations in Atlanta, Ga - Dallas, and Houston Texas. Bob Saladna still owns the company and still repairs cars. His love and devotion to exceptional customer service, as well as his team of technicians and managers is second to none. Our technicians are among the highest paid in the industry.

ESC provides access to several live support options to help diagnosis the most difficult issues quickly and accurately. We provide company paid diagnostic training as well.
