Entry-Level Lube Technician / Apprentice Technician

About Us
We are a busy, customer-focused dealership service department committed to doing repairs the
right way and developing technicians for long-term careers. If you’re new to the industry or

demonstrate consistency, quality, and productivity.

and basic inspections
Complete multi-point inspections and document findings accurately
Perform light repair and maintenance items as training allows (filters, batteries, wipers,

Follow safety procedures, vehicle protection standards, and quality control checks
Maintain accurate repair order documentation (notes, parts usage, labor ops)
Keep a clean, organized bay and care for tools and equipment
Participate in training, coaching, and skills verification as part of your development plan
Work collaboratively with advisors and technicians to support efficient shop flow
