Automotive Technician- Install Shop

About the role

Horsepower Automotive Group (HPAG) is a leader in the growing automotive aftermarket industry. When you join HPAG, you’ll have a unique opportunity to be a part of our exciting and rapidly growing, multi-brand organization. Our brands include Addictive Desert Designs, DV8 Offroad, Flatline Van Co., and Rago Fabrication. We support a collaborative environment and value open participation from individuals with different ideas, experiences, and perspectives.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys automotive work, fabrication, problem-solving, and seeing how new products go from prototype to production. Instead of spending your days working on oil changes, water pumps, and older vehicles, you’ll work in a clean, organized specialty shop on new vehicles and innovative off-road products—often before those products are available to the public.
