History	AUTOTEK opened in 1989. Since then, more than 150,000 vehicles have been serviced in our 50-bay shop in southeast Denver. You can find us in a busy shopping center, which includes United Artists theaters, Office Max, Wolf Camera, Wherehouse Music, and six restaurants. The shop is designed with a center aisle and two large, automatic doors on each end. In addition, there are separate doors for two lube pits. It is fully ventilated with separate air and exhaust systems. Heat in the winter comes from two systems: forced air and radiant heat. Swamp coolers are available for those hot days in the summer. Quality Engines and Transmissions was brought into the shop in early 1998. Customers' engines are removed and installed in the shop, and rebuilt onsite, in our complete engine machine shop. Quality builds a superior engine and backs it with a superior 6 year, 75,000 mile warranty.
Company Goals	Our goal is to be the best shop in Denver. We want to handle the most difficult drivability problems, as well as all normal maintenance and repair services. We want low comeback ratios and satisfied customers. We do followup calls on all services in order to ensure our customers are happy. Our goal is to provide a great work environment, great equipment, and top pay in the industry. Constant training to keep you up on new developments is a must. We have some of the best benefits around. We also want to help you accomplish your professional and personal financial goals. In addition to competitive wage rates, we have a full array of benefits and bonuses available. Our goal is to grow, both by increasing production in our current shop and by buying or building additional locations.
Customer Service	Our customers are busy people and don't want to return for either related or unrelated work. They want all of their needs met by quality services the first time in. Our procedures are designed to identify as many of the customer's needs as possible, so that return trips are unnecessary. As a shop, we constantly strive for high ticket averages. With larger average tickets, we can spend more time on each car, taking the time to make sure we do top quality work. This also allows us to operate the shop much more sanely than is common elsewhere. Your workflow can be paced, reducing your stress. The customer is never pressured to do repairs (unless they are safety related). Our goal is simply to present all the facts, so that the customer has a reasonable basis for making their own repair decisions. Over time, we work hard in educating our customers that a well-maintained car is a great investment. We use the example of our 345,000 mile pickup (original engine & transmission) to get this point across. We have thousands of great customers who have been bringing all of their vehicles to us for years, keeping our shop busy throughout the year.
Compensation & Benefits	Base pay is based on your experience, certifications, tools, and productivity. In addition, we have a variety of production, quality, and customer satisfaction based bonuses, which allow you to build on your base pay. Our technicians can earn up to $100,000 per year, plus benefits. While the benefit list constantly changes, here is a partial list of current benefits that are available to our employees: Flexible work schedules Health insurance - single, single & children, couple, or family Dental insurance Cafeteria plan, to save you taxes Long-term disability, to protect you from lost income in the event of a long-term illness or disability. Paid vacation Paid holidays Pleasant work environment Discounts on parts and repairs Personal financial & retirement planning Tool insurance Career development training Safety programs and quality work comp insurance
Career Development	Our employees are automotive service professionals. We encourage and require technicians and service advisers to constantly train, in order to improve their skills and keep up with changing automotive technologies. In most cases, we will pay the cost of the training. In some cases, we will also compensate you for your time in daytime classes. Here are some of the training resources available: A.C. Delco training programs B-G NIATT training tapes Other training tapes NAPA training programs Snap-on training programs R.L. O'Connor management / sales classes You will also receive a wealth of varied technical experience at AUTOTEK. Because of our size, you will see all kinds of work on all kinds of vehicles, giving you a depth of experience impossible to find at a dealer or a smaller shop. Because we are an independent, you will not be burdened with the hassles and low-pay of warranty work.
Be a part of a professional team	Most important, you will be working with a great crew, and many great techs. It is common to find several techs huddled around a car, putting their heads together to solve a difficult problem. The learning potential is unmatched anywhere. We are locally owned and operated. We want you to be part of the AUTOTEK family. Our relaxed atmosphere finds everyone laughing and joking around throughout the work day. Call us at 303-290-7700.
