Overview

 

Group 1 Automotive is hiring experienced Main Line Automotive Technicians across multiple Bob Howard dealership locations in Oklahoma City and Edmond.

 

This opportunity is built for skilled, bumper‑to‑bumper technicians who know diagnostics, drivability, electrical, suspension, brakes, engines, and transmissions—and take pride in doing the job right.

 

As a Main Line Technician, you’ll handle complex repairs and diagnostics in a high‑volume, professional dealership environment with steady work, modern equipment, and a support team that understands what technicians need to succeed. We’re looking for techs who can think, diagnose, and execute—not just follow flowcharts.

 

Whether you’re a seasoned Master Technician or a highly skilled tech ready to level up, this role offers long‑term career stability, manufacturer support, and the opportunity to grow as your skills and certifications grow.

 

If you’re tired of being capped, underpaid, or under‑supported, this is your chance to work with a group that values technical skill and experience.

 

If you can fix it bumper‑to‑bumper and want to be taken seriously as a technician, this role is for you
