Experienced Euro Tech – Still telling yourself it's fine... even though you know it's not?When's the last time you left work feeling like the shop actually had your back?Not just "yeah, good job today" — but really had your back. Fair pay. Real equipment. A boss who invests in you as a person, not just a pair of hands under a hood.If you're being straight with yourself, it's probably been a while.Now, maybe you're in a shop right now where the lifts are held together with hope and zip ties. Where the owner talks about training but never actually pays for it.Where you're the guy carrying the whole back of the shop — and you know it — but nobody's cutting you a check that reflects it.Or maybe it's not that dramatic. Maybe it's just... fine. Steady. But somewhere in the back of your head, you know you're capable of more.That feeling? It's worth paying attention to.Because here's what we can offer you at Thoroughbred Auto Care in Laurel, MD:A shop that's been serving this community for over 30 years. Family-owned. Customer-focused. And run by an owner who came from outside the industry — which means he's not jaded, he doesn't play shop politics, and he genuinely wants every person on his team to earn as much as possible and stay as long as they want.Rich Young isn't your typical shop owner. He's the kind of guy who invests in equipment when it breaks instead of duct-taping it together. Who sends his whole team to training — and pays for it. Who has a service advisor that's been with this shop for 20 years and drives 60 miles each way to get there.That doesn't happen at a shop that doesn't give a damn.That person could be you.So, if you're an experienced Euro tech who's tired of feeling invisible — then keep reading, my friend… this might just be the shop you’ve been waiting for.✅ HERE'S WHAT THOROUGHBRED PUTS ON THE TABLE:Up to $120K/year — production-based pay plan with ASE cert multipliers401(k) with 2% company match — no capHealth insurance, Dental + Vision availablePaid vacationPaid holidays — all the standard ones plus Black FridayYour birthday off — any day in your birthday month, after 90 daysPaid sick days — after one yearNo weekends.
