Automotive Technician - Sunnyvale, CA

Automotive Technician — Toyota

One of the largest Toyota dealerships in Northern California

Location: Sunnyvale, CA | Schedule: Full-time | Pay: $45–$50/flat rate hour + bonuses

The short version

We move more Toyotas through our service drive than almost any store in Northern California. That matters to you for one reason: hours. Our techs aren't sitting in the lounge waiting on dispatch — the work is here, every day, all year.

If you're a Toyota tech who's tired of chasing 30 hours a week, or a strong tech from another brand ready to get certified on the highest-volume nameplate in America, we want to talk.

Why techs stay here

• Consistent hours. 200-250+ ROs a month. Our top flat-rate techs regularly turn 50–60+ hours a week.
  
• Real pay. $45 to $50 per flat rate hour depending on certification and experience, plus a guarantee while you ramp.
  
• Your own bay, your own lift. No sharing, no shuffling.
  
• Modern shop. Factory tooling, current Techstream/diagnostic equipment, alignment rack, hybrid and EV-certified bays, clean and climate-controlled.
  
• Toyota pays for your growth. We cover certification training on the clock — Toyota Certified through Master Diagnostic Technician, including hybrid/EV.
  
• Fair dispatch. Work is distributed by skill level and availability, not by who's friendly with the dispatcher.
  
• A shop that's staffed. Full-time porters, dedicated express team, and enough advisors that you're not writing your own tickets.
  

What you'll be doing

• Diagnosing and repairing Toyota vehicles across the full range — gas, hybrid, and BEV
  
• Performing warranty, recall, customer-pay, and internal repairs to factory standards
  
• Documenting diagnosis, cause, and correction clearly enough to survive a warranty audit
  
• Test-driving to verify concerns and confirm repairs
  
• Keeping your bay, tools, and equipment in professional condition
  
• Mentoring express and entry-level techs as you move up the ladder
  

What we're looking for

Required

• Automotive repair experience in a dealership or high-volume independent shop
  
• Valid driver's license with an insurable record
  
• Your own hand tools (rollaway and specialty tools available for qualified hires — ask us)
  
• Ability to consistently produce quality work at a flat-rate pace
  

Preferred — and rewarded in your pay

• Toyota certification at any level (Certified, Expert, Master, or Master Diagnostic)
  
• Toyota Hybrid/EV certification
  
• ASE certifications
  
• T-TEN graduates
  
• Import experience if you're coming from another brand
  

We hire at every level. Lube and express techs with the right attitude, mid-level techs ready to move up, and Master Diagnostic Techs who want a store big enough to keep them busy — there's a seat here for all three.

Pay and benefits

• $45–$50 per flat rate hour based on certification and production
  
• $8,000 sign-on bonus for certified Toyota techs
  
• Relocation assistance for the right candidate
  
• Production and CSI bonuses
  
• Medical, dental, and vision
  
• 401(k) with company match
  
• Paid vacation and holidays
  
• Paid factory training
  
• Tool program and uniform service
  
• Employee pricing on vehicles, parts, and service
  
• 4-day or 5-day work week — no Sundays
