• Perform or assist with brake jobs, including brake pads and rotors
• Safely raise and lower cars and trucks using vehicle lifts and floor jacks
• Drive and position customer vehicles carefully and responsibly
• Tighten and torque lug nuts and suspension components to the correct specifications
• Load, unload, move, and organize tires and wheels
• Keep the work area, equipment, tools, and shop clean and organized
• Clean, organize, restock, or assist other employees when there are no vehicles waiting
• Properly use and care for tire machines, balancers, lifts, jacks, and shop tools
• Protect customer vehicles and report any existing or accidental damage immediately
• Follow all shop procedures and safety requirements
• Complete work carefully and double-check that each job is finished correctly

What We Are Looking For:

• Some tire-shop, automotive, suspension, or brake experience is preferred
• We are willing to provide additional training to someone who wants to learn
• Must be trustworthy, dependable, punctual, and responsible
• Must report to scheduled shifts and communicate properly if an emergency occurs
• No repeated call-outs, lateness, or no-call/no-shows
• Must be willing to work hard and stay productive throughout the shift
• Must be able to work independently and find productive tasks without constantly being told
• Personal phone use must be limited while working, except during breaks or emergencies
• Must be willing to work some weekends as we expand our operating schedule
• Must have a valid driver’s license and drive customer vehicles responsibly
• Must be able to regularly lift and move approximately 50–75 pounds
• Must use team lifting or shop equipment for extremely heavy oversized wheels and tires
• Must be able to work safely around lifted vehicles, tools, tires, and heavy equipment
• Must respect customer vehicles, coworkers, tools, and company property
• Must have a positive attitude and be willing to improve

This is a good opportunity for someone who already has basic tire or automotive experience and wants to build additional skills in custom wheels, suspension, lift kits, leveling kits, and brake work.
