Entry Level Automotive Jobs in Reno, NV (NOW HIRING)

Location: Reno, NV

Job Type: Full-Time

Compensation: $18.00–$25.00 per hour (Depending on Experience)

At Reno Harley-Davidson, we believe great Harley-Davidson technicians are developed—not found.

While many dealerships search for experienced technicians, we've built a structured, in-house Technician Development Program designed to train mechanically inclined individuals into professional Harley-Davidson technicians.

This is a paid, hands-on career development program where you'll work alongside experienced technicians, receive one-on-one mentoring, and gain the skills necessary to become a productive member of our Service Department.

No Harley-Davidson experience is required.

Our Technician Development Program provides a clearly defined career path from entry-level Apprentice Technician to Master Technician.

Unlike most dealerships, we invest in developing our own technicians through structured training, mentorship, and real-world experience.
