Pros

I can't think of any other than a few of the shops have newer lifts. The buildings look nice. More often than not there was not enough work, and checks were cut to make up the difference, but there was no paystub for said checks, or any written or verbal metric for determining said amount.

Cons

The company completely lacks leadership, communication, and regularly goes against THEIR OWN core values. A sewer smell is permeating the floor at the Polaris location. They are NOT seeking quality technicians with years of experience, they are seeking yes people with minimal knowledge. They shower you with high hourly rate, vacation time, and sparkly building but they struggle to bring customers in, and consistently have since I started June 2023. The floors are epoxied white which looks great, but they couldn't be bothered to add a texture, therefore it is as slick as ice and extremely hazardous. They will terminate anyone, for any reason, once they decide they don't like you. I was asked to leave because I failed to meet the core value "domination", which is arguably an insane choice for a core value. I asked for elaboration and was told "we aren't going there". ShopFix affiliate. Shopfix is a red flag. RUN. The business practice of extremely high employee turnover is a ShopFix staple across most of their shops.

Pros

Working at ER Autocare has been an incredible experience. It’s a truly great, family-owned company that genuinely cares about both its customers and its employees. The work-life balance is one of the best I’ve ever had—management understands the value of time outside of work and supports a healthy, balanced lifestyle. What really stands out is the opportunity for growth. There’s always room to advance and develop your skills, and leadership is always encouraging employees to move forward in their careers. The team culture is supportive, hardworking, and welcoming—making it a place you actually enjoy coming to every day. If you’re looking for a career in the automotive industry with a company that values its people, ER Autocare is the place to be.

Cons

Rush hour traffic can be a challenge

Pros

Some solid coworkers at the store level trying to make the best of a bad situation.

Cons

Everything advertised is exaggerated. “No slow days” is not accurate—workflow is inconsistent and there are times with little to no work. “Clean shop” and “modern equipment” do not reflect reality. Shops are often disorganized, understaffed, and poorly managed. The technicians doing the work are carrying the operation while management struggles to keep things running efficiently. Pay sounds good on paper but depends heavily on workload that isn’t consistent. Expectations are high, but support, structure, and leadership are lacking. High turnover should tell you everything you need to know.
