Automotive Technician Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an automotive technician in Minnesota?
Minnesota does not require a state-issued license to work as an automotive technician, but employers consistently prefer or require ASE certification. The most common path is completing an automotive technology program at a Minnesota State college or technical school such as Dunwoody College of Technology or Lake Superior College, then earning ASE credentials in your chosen areas. Most shops hire graduates into entry-level positions and support additional certification from there.
Which companies hire automotive technicians in Minnesota?
Companies currently hiring automotive technicians in Minnesota include Firestone Complete Auto Care, Tires Plus, and Wheel Works, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Minnesota's dense dealership network and large commercial fleet operators mean openings turn over frequently across the state.
Which Minnesota cities have the most automotive technician jobs?
Minneapolis, Wayzata, and Burnsville have the most automotive technician openings in Minnesota. The Twin Cities metro dominates because of its high concentration of new-vehicle dealerships, independent shops, and regional fleet operations, while secondary markets like Rochester and Duluth reflect strong local demand tied to healthcare and port logistics industries that maintain large vehicle fleets.
Are there remote automotive technician jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. Automotive technician work is hands-on by nature, so the vast majority of roles require a physical shop location. About 0% of automotive technician openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions typically involve technical training coordination, parts sales support, or remote diagnostic consultation rather than direct vehicle service.
How can I get hired as an automotive technician in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a lube technician or service technician trainee role, which most Minnesota dealerships and chains hire for without requiring prior shop experience. Completing an automotive technology program at a Minnesota State technical college strengthens your application considerably. Large dealership groups like Walser Automotive and Morrie's run structured apprenticeship-style onboarding for newer technicians, and candidates who arrive with even one ASE student certification stand out immediately.
