About Us
The newest addition to The NB Center Services is The Service Center, a full-service repair and maintenance facility dedicated to providing expert care for vintage and classic cars as well as select modern vehicles through the 1990s. The Service Center fills the critical need for expert repairs and maintenance on older vehicles that many modern repair shops are not equipped or trained to service. Unlike full restoration shops or body shops, The Service Center focuses exclusively on mechanical repairs and preventative maintenance to keep older vehicles safe, reliable, and enjoyable to drive.
The Service Center is part of The NB Center for American Automotive Heritage, an institution dedicated to preserving American automotive history through the collection, restoration, and sharing of vehicles, knowledge, and craftsmanship. Our campus also features a world-class restoration shop (Precision Motor Cars, Inc.) and a suite of specialty businesses (The NB Center Services, LLC), including machining, engine building, and gauge restoration. The NB Center houses a curated 200-car collection spanning 1910 to 2017, all situated on a 27-acre, park-like campus.
Position Overview
This opening is for experienced mechanics/technicians with a strong background in the service and repair of older vehicles. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in working with carburetors, points-based and electronic ignition systems, and fuel-injection systems, along with broader experience in diagnosing, repairing, and maintaining mechanical, electrical, and chassis systems. A solid foundation in automotive service, combined with the ability to adapt between vintage and some modern vehicles, is essential. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, organized, and brings an exceptional level of care and attention to detail that reflects the passion classic vehicle owners have for their cars.
