Automotive Apprentice​/General Service Technician

Start your career in the bay. You'll learn hands-on from our Master Technicians, build real skills across every kind of vehicle, and grow into a technician our neighbors trust. No two days are the same, and every one of them teaches you something.

Bob's Auto is a family-owned shop that's been keeping local drivers on the road for 50 years. As an Automotive Apprentice, you'll work side by side with a Master Technician who'll mentor you through diagnostic and mechanical repairs — building the confidence, experience, and skills it takes to become a successful technician.

This is a real starting point, not a dead-end job. We're looking for someone who's eager to learn the trade, takes pride in careful work, and wants to grow with a shop that invests in its people.
