AUTO SHOP APPRENTICE @ FNA TRANSMISSION
FNA Transmission is seeking an Auto Shop Apprentice to join our specialized transmission and drivetrain service team in Wakefield, MA. This is a unique opportunity to work in a real specialty shop rather than a standard oil-change chain. From day one, you will be working alongside experienced transmission specialists on live repairs, gaining hands-on knowledge of complex systems including driveshafts, differentials, transfer cases, and torque converters—systems that most general shops rarely handle. The role involves supporting senior mechanics across various tasks such as vehicle intake, diagnostics, fluid services, and drivetrain repair.
We are looking for individuals who are not just looking for a generalist role but are committed to becoming top-tier transmission diagnosticians. The position is full-time, on-site, with hours from Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The salary for this position is $23 – $26 per hour, paid weekly. Benefits include weekly performance bonuses, a 401(k) with employer matching, health insurance, and professional development reimbursement for commuters. This role is ideal for a dedicated individual looking to build a high-skill career in a specialized automotive niche.
