  • Stay current on technical training.
  • Focus on quality and service in everything you do.
  • Maintain a neat, professional appearance (uniform provided daily).

  • Ability to negotiate and resolve customer complaints.
  • Comfortable with shop management software and general computer use.
  • Solid understanding of mechanical and technical terminology.
  • Able to write routine reports and correspondence.
