Since 2018, Rockstar Mechanics has been a trusted leader in recruiting mechanics across North America. What sets us apart is our passion for results—quality hires delivered fast.
While some recruiters boast about the number of resumes they can send, we focus on real outcomes. Others may brag about the size of their database but lack the know-how to use it. Some try to compete on price alone—but in recruiting, value always beats cost.

Our 70% success rate on new searches and 90% retention rate prove the difference. We don’t force the wrong fit; we move fast, screen thoroughly, and deliver mechanics who perform.

The Challenge of Finding Good Technicians
01.
Long Vacancy Cycles
Open positions can sit vacant for weeks or months, putting pressure on your existing team and slowing down operations. Every day a role goes unfilled costs you time, money, and productivity.
02.
Low Candidate Quality
Sorting through unqualified resumes is frustrating and time-consuming. Many applicants simply don’t have the hands-on experience, certifications, or reliability your shop needs to keep running efficiently.
03.
High Turnover
Even after you fill a role, keeping technicians long-term can be a challenge. Poor matches lead to wasted onboarding time, disrupted workflows, and recurring hiring costs.
04.
Lost Productivity & Revenue
Each unfilled or mismatched hire impacts more than just your labor force—it hits your bottom line. Missed jobs, delayed projects, and overtime strain can quickly add up to major revenue loss.

Rockstar Mechanics sourced candidates with hands-on automotive experience who could transition into new roles. We placed their Automotive Manager, who went on to build a national Tech Hotline, and helped staff it with skilled former technicians. We also placed a content creator—a former tech with a background in journalism—to strengthen their marketing efforts.
Our partnership continues as they expand their reach and team.
