You’ve built your skills — now you’re ready for a role where you can use them for more than just profit. Sound like you? Keep reading.

At  ChangingGears , we do things differently. We're a non-profit used car dealership with a mission: helping individuals and families in need gain access to safe, reliable transportation. Every vehicle you service directly supports someone's journey toward stability and independence. This position is responsible for diagnosing and repairing vehicles that are donated to ChangingGears, making them safe and reliable for our Purchase Program clients, or getting them ready for fundraising. In some cases you’ll service vehicles owned by clients who are accessing our Repair Program. This is a unique position that will allow you to use your skills and experience to help people have access to affordable and reliable transportation.  If you love cars, and you love to help people, this may be a great fit for you!

🚘 What You’ll Do

You'll use your skills to:

• Diagnose and repair a wide variety of donated vehicles for our Purchase Program clients and Repair Program customers.
• Complete honest, full vehicle assessments that focus on safety, reliability, and quality .
• Work as part of a small, tight-knit team committed to doing the job right — not rushing for commission.
• Occasionally help with vehicle pickups, technician training, or celebrating milestones with the people we serve.

This role is ideal for someone who’s a strong technician and a team player who finds meaning in their work.
