USED CAR TECHNICIAN

Jeff Wyler Fairfield Auto Mall — Fairfield, Ohio

Do you enjoy taking a used vehicle that has lived a previous life and giving it a fresh start?

Can you hear a weird noise that nobody else noticed?

Can you look at a warning light and think, “Oh, I know what you're doing here…”?

Do you enjoy fixing things instead of simply saying, “Well, that's going to be expensive”?

Then we should talk.

Jeff Wyler Fairfield Auto Mall is looking for a Used Car Technician to help us get our pre-owned inventory ready for its next owner.

These cars come to us with stories.

Some are one-owner vehicles that have been babied their entire lives.

Others...

Let's just say they've seen some things.

Your job is to figure out which is which.

Your mission is simple:

That means you'll:

Perform multi-point inspections on used vehicles.
Diagnose mechanical and electrical concerns.
Perform routine maintenance and necessary repairs.
Perform oil changes, fluid services, brake work, tire services, and other maintenance.
Inspect suspension, steering, exhaust, cooling, and drivetrain components.
Diagnose check-engine lights and other warning indicators.
Identify safety concerns and communicate necessary repairs.
Perform quality-control checks before vehicles are placed on the sales lot.
Complete repairs efficiently while maintaining quality.
Work with Service Advisors, Used Car Managers, Parts, and Sales.
Document work performed accurately.
Road-test vehicles when appropriate.
Keep your work area clean and safe.
Help determine whether a vehicle needs a repair, a little love, or a serious conversation with the Used Car Manager.
Occasionally discover something underneath a seat that makes you question humanity.

Used-car technicians are part mechanic, part detective.

You might start with:

“Customer says it makes a noise.”

And end up discovering:

A worn suspension component
A brake issue
A fluid leak
A battery on its last breath
A tire that has apparently been through three wars
Or absolutely nothing because the customer was hearing their phone charger rattle

You investigate. You diagnose. You fix it.

That's the job.

Previous automotive technician experience required.
Used-car inspection or reconditioning experience.
Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.
Ability to diagnose and repair common automotive mechanical and electrical concerns.
Basic computer and diagnostic-tool skills.
Ability to safely operate shop equipment.
Strong attention to detail.
Reliable attendance and strong work ethic.
Ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
Ability to work with a wide variety of vehicle makes and models.
Professional tools appropriate for the position.
