Want to be part of a team that’s shaking up the automotive industry by leaning into being the most approachable, down-to-earth island of misfit toys around? We’re searching for a detail-oriented, process-driven and problem-solving Automotive Service Technician (AST) to join our growing crew. If you’re ready to bring your technical expertise and strategic thinking to a workplace that values innovation, teamwork and believes that relationships make the difference, we’d love to hear from you.

HERE’S A LITTLE ABOUT US:

I’m Adam, the owner of Guardian Automotive in West Edmonton, and I’m going to go massively off-script from the norm. If our ads seem a bit quirky—or let’s be real, a lot quirky compared to the cookie-cutter templates out there—you’re not wrong. We’re different, and we like it that way.
At Guardian Automotive, we believe a positive, drama-free workplace is the foundation for delivering exceptional customer experiences. When our team thrives, our customers feel it. And you don’t have to take my word for it—just check out our Google reviews.
Who wants to work for some sketchy fly-by-night operation with a less than stellar reputation? Not us, and we’re guessing not you either.
When we opened Guardian Automotive in 2019, we had a shaky start—a bit of an identity crisis and a shortsighted plan, if we’re being honest. Just as we were finding our footing, early 2020 hit, bringing with it a certain well-known medical and economic crisis that threw a wrench into everything. It was brutal—like a swift kick to the driveshaft brutal. But we dug deep. We fought like hell, powered by sheer determination and a refusal to quit. And guess what? Perseverance paid off.
Fast forward to today: we’re on our fourth expansion, growing in facility size, team strength, car count, and revenue each time. This year, we’re focusing on vertical growth. We have plenty of hoists, plenty of space, now it’s time to push the limits of what we’re capable of. We’ve turned our waiting room into a space people actually enjoy spending time in—with a massive free snack station and bean-to-cup coffee that’s always a hit (We’ve even started building our own little arcade corner!). We’re proud to operate with 11 hoists, a 12,000-square-foot facility, an organized & dedicated office for advisors and parts, and a vision for continued growth.
Growth and resilience are in our DNA. Over the years, we’ve proven we can tackle challenges others swore were impossible. We stayed focused on what mattered: people and culture. That’s how we’ve gone from surviving to thriving. We live by Richard Branson’s philosophy—take care of your team, and they’ll take care of your customers. Fixing cars is what we do, but building relationships? That’s how we shine.
In a city crowded with automotive shops, we know the competition is fierce. But we’re not interested in being just another name in the game. We ally with the strong—the forward-thinkers, the customer-focused. We steer clear of archaic mindsets, predatory tactics, and rigid corporate structure that can paralyze a small business. There’s plenty of market share and work to be done, but not every shop goes about it the right way.
We aim to always be expanding, whether that’s horizontal (more people, more hoists, more space) or vertical (more training, better processes, more efficacy). We read, discuss, debate, occasionally we knock down walls. We’re getting REALLY good at the wall part. At this point, after our 4th expansion in six years, the sledgehammer nights are becoming a near annual team building event.
Here’s the bottom line: we’re not slowing down. Expansion and internal improvement isn’t just what we do; it’s who we are. We’re on the lookout for driven, growth-minded talent with big picture mentalities to join us and help fuel the next chapter of Guardian Automotive. Full speed ahead, no backing down. Sound good?
