Built by someone who understands the trade, the work, and what great technicians deserve.

Great Technicians
Deserve a Great Home.

I know what it takes to be a great technician — because I have been one.

I have a deep, personal appreciation for the dedication, the time, and the commitment it takes to truly master this craft. You do not just become a great technician overnight. It takes years of hard work, continuous learning, and a real passion for what you do.

At Leo Auto Group, we pride ourselves on being more than just a great place to buy a car or a motorcycle. We are committed to delivering exceptional customer service — and that starts with having exceptional technicians. You are the backbone of what we do.

That is why we invest heavily in the latest equipment and technology. You deserve the best tools to do your best work. We reward our techs with bonuses, fun competitions, and — most importantly — a real voice for change and improvement.

Come join our team, where you matter, your career grows, and we all win together.

If discretion matters to you, I understand — our conversation will be completely confidential.

If you have questions, want to learn more, or simply want to make sure this is the right fit before you apply, I encourage you to reach out to me directly. I am always happy to have a conversation, answer your questions honestly, and give you a better feel for what it is like to be part of Leo Auto Group.

Columbus is where the Leo group runs deepest. With eight franchises across the market, there's more repair variety, more workflow, and more paths forward than anywhere else in the footprint.

What to expect here

Columbus punches well above its size. It's a mid-sized Indiana city with a low cost of living, a tight-knit community, and a reputation for being genuinely well-designed. It's actually known nationally for its architecture. Inside the shops, you're working across a broad brand mix with consistent volume, organized service lanes, and the kind of leadership that comes from running multiple high-performing franchises in the same market for years.

Why techs land here and stay

  • Broadest brand mix in the group across 8 franchises
  • Strong, consistent repair volume year-round
  • Affordable city with a surprisingly strong food and culture scene
  • Multiple advancement paths across stores and brands

This One's for the Tech Who Actually Rides

Twisted Torch Harley-Davidson is a women-led, rider-driven dealership with a genuine culture built around the brand. The customers know their bikes, the team takes the craft seriously, and the shop reflects both.

Harley-Davidson

What to expect here

Edinburgh sits just off I-65, about 30 minutes south of Indianapolis. Small town feel with easy access to the city when you want it. Inside Twisted Torch, you're working exclusively on Harley iron with customers who care deeply about who touches their bike.

Why techs who fit here really fit here

What to expect here

Lebanon, Indiana

A Focused GMC and Chevy Shop With a Team That Shows Up

What to expect here

Lebanon is a growing community about 30 minutes northwest of Indianapolis. Close enough to the city that you have access to everything, small enough that life outside work actually slows down. The shop has a manageable scale, a consistent repair mix across two strong GM brands, and a team dynamic that reflects a store where people genuinely know each other. For technicians who value a shop environment where the work is steady and the pace is sustainable, Lebanon is often a very deliberate fit.

Why the right tech thrives here

  • Tight-knit team where you know everyone by name
  • Clean GM brand focus across GMC and Chevy
