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
currently working in quick lube, this is an opportunity to get into a structured shop with clear
expectations, consistent workflow, and a real growth path.
Position Overview
We're hiring entry-level technicians and lube techs who want more than "just oil changes." This

demonstrate consistency, quality, and productivity.
Key Responsibilities

and basic inspections

• 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
