Hours, benefits, remote options, the hiring process, the basics. If your question's not here, call the shop and ask.
[Call] (605) 221-8492What are the shop hours and shift schedule?+
All shops run a Monday through Friday day shift, typically 7 AM to 5 PM. No nights, no weekends, no 2 AM call-outs. Overtime is paid after 40 hours, never required.
What benefits do you offer?+
Health, dental, and vision starting day 60, with 1776 covering a large share of the premium. Paid time off that grows with tenure, paid holidays, an annual tool and boot allowance for techs, and paid training and certifications.
Are any roles remote or hybrid?+
No. Every role here is hands-on and on-site in Chancellor, SD. If you're wrenching, welding, writing service, or talking to customers, you need to be in the shop.
Do you offer relocation help?+
For experienced techs and the right fit, yes. Tell us your situation in the application and we'll talk through it.
What's the hiring process look like?+
1. Apply through the form below. 2. A real person reads it, usually within a few business days. 3. Quick phone call to talk through the role. 4. In-person shop visit so you can meet the crew and see the bay. 5. Offer, start date, and tools-in-hand on day one.
How long does the hiring process take?+
Most hires move from applied to offer in one to two weeks. We're not slow, but we also won't rush the wrong person into the wrong seat.
Do I need certifications or formal training?+
Depends on the role. Techs benefit from ASE, DOT, or manufacturer certs, but real bay experience counts more. For apprentices and lube techs, no experience is required, just the right attitude. We pay for the training that takes you to the next level.
What if my role isn't listed?+
Apply anyway. Select 'Other / Open Application' in the position dropdown and tell us what you do. Good people always have a place here.
