We are hiring, just like every other shop in town! We are looking for a minimum of 3 years Technician experience. We are a very busy shop with competitive pay. Depending on your skill you could make up to $150,000 a year! So why choose to apply to Thompson Automotive above the others? I have decided to speak from the heart and tell you what makes us so great!
First, a little about us. I am Jaime Thompson, my husband Bob and I are both Colorado natives. We started Thompson Automotive in 2010 with 1 lift. We grew the business with one thought in mind. If we created an amazing customer experience backed by quality work we could not fail. Our original shop was in an industrial space with no drive by traffic. We struggled and overcame every obstacle that came our way. We continued to dream big and knew we had something amazing! In January of 2023 we purchased an 11,000 square foot building and now have 10 lifts and an alignment machine. I use “we” and “our” because Bob and I did not build it on our own. It took great people to build Thompson Automotive to be the success that it is today. Some of these people worked for us and some are personal heroes and mentors. It takes hard working heroes to grow a business over 300% in 4 years, and that is exactly what we have done, and we plan to keep it going!
We strive to be the BEST place for customers and employees to come to. PERIOD.
This is an actual job posting for an automotive technician so let me tell you some of our “benefits”.
Yes, we have:
Heath Insurance
Dental and Vision Insurance
Life Insurance
Matching Simple IRA
All Major Holidays Paid
Paid Vacation after 1 year
Air Conditioned Shop
Lunch on Thursdays
And NO weekends! We believe that your weekends are for your friends and family.
All these repair shops seem to have all the same ads along with the same list of benefits. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that benefits are important but really that’s only like 10% of what makes us so great! It’s frustrating because I truly feel if all the technicians in our area knew how amazing our people and our culture is they would be lining up outside wanting to work here! If they knew how generous we are or how happy Bill at our front desk is. He is always ready to greet our customers with a smile. If they could see how funny our tech Esteban is and hear his laughter from across the shop. If they could experience the magic of helping our young lube tech figure something out and see the lightbulb in his head go on. If they knew how lucky I was to find our General Manager Jaime and his infectious desire to have all our employees succeed. How hard he and our Foreman Kevin work together investing their personal time to make that success a reality.
If they only knew that there is a place that is fun to work at and had great culture. Don’t get me wrong, it is not always rainbows and butterflies, but our team does not mind coming to work. We truly enjoy and care about each other. We have created systems and processes in which all members of the team succeed and are highly compensated and appreciated.
I am frustrated because I know that somewhere out there is a great technician who goes under compensated and underappreciated. Who hates going to work but feels he must continue to be mistreated to provide for his or her family. I am here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be this way, and I have proof. Let’s talk! Call our Manager Jaime at 303-350-8940 and meet with us today!
