Entry-Level Lube Technician / Apprentice Technician

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

currently working in quick lube, this is an opportunity to get into a structured shop with clear

Position Overview

We’re hiring entry-level technicians and lube techs who want more than “just oil changes.” This

role starts in Express Service with strong coaching, defined skill milestones, and a development

plan designed to move you into Main Shop work over time. You’ll learn dealership processes,

proper inspection habits, and core mechanical fundamentals—then advance as you

demonstrate consistency, quality, and productivity.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform routine maintenance services: oil and filter changes, tire rotations, fluid checks,

and basic inspections

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

bulbs, tire repairs)

  • 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

Phase 4: Main Shop Technician (12+ Months, performance-based)
