WEEKENDS. EVER. A Personal Message From Pete (Owner) If you’re
reading this, you’ve probably seen a ton of job postings for
technicians. And you’ve probably worked in places that promised the
world and delivered the bare minimum. I get it. Before I owned
Journey Auto Repair, I was a technician myself. I know what it
feels like to be unappreciated, burnt out, unheard, underpaid, and
stuck in a shop that won’t invest in tools, training, equipment, or
people . I know what it’s like to work in a culture where your
voice doesn’t matter. Journey Auto Repair exists because I wanted
to build a shop that was the complete opposite of all of that. How
Journey Auto Repair Started Before buying this shop in 2019, I
spent several years overseas running a nonprofit trade school in
Haiti — teaching young men and women how to work on cars, weld, and
develop valuable trades. My dream was (and still is) to create
opportunity and change lives. I bought Kurth’s (now Journey Auto
Repair – New Hope) to become the economic engine that fuels that
mission. Since then: We opened a second location in Andover ,
actively seeking our third location We donated over $50,000 in
repairs to frontline workers during the pandemic We hand-delivered
more than 2,000 meals to families in need in partnership with a
local restaurant We have now given away over 50 cars to individuals
and families needing reliable transportation We’ve built a team of
drama-free, humble, hardworking individuals We’ve grown rapidly in
customers, sales, equipment, and team size Impact isn’t an add-on
here — it’s part of who we are. What Makes Our Shop Different When
I took over in 2019, I made a commitment: Break industry norms.
Build a culture of ownership, alignment, stewardship, and uncommon
standards. Treat our people right. Provide the tools and
environment techs actually deserve. Here’s what that looks like in
real life: We invest in updated tools and equipment We make sure
every tech has what they need to work safely and efficiently We
listen — really listen — to our team We appreciate our people and
show it We operate with full transparency We don’t do drama We push
for growth — as individuals and as a shop Are we perfect? No. Are
we better than most shops out there? Absolutely — and we’re
improving every day. Why We’re Hiring We’ve grown quickly — in
customers, sales, systems, tools, staff, and community impact. To
continue that growth and maintain our high standards of care, we
are adding another Automotive Technician who wants to be part of
something meaningful, healthy, and long-term. If you want a place
where you’re respected, supported, and surrounded by people who
actually want to be here, this might be the right fit. What You’ll
