Job description

Two bays, flat-rate pay, and factory EV training — a dealership shop built for technicians who want to earn.

13th August, 2026

Licensed Automotive Service Technician (310S) — Two Bays, One Technician, Real Earning Power

This role may also be known as: 310S Technician, Automotive Service Technician, Dealership Service Technician
Train through Kia University, including factory-backed Advanced EV Diagnostics.
Most shops give a technician one bay and call it a day. This one gives you two. That single difference changes what a flat-rate day actually looks like — less waiting on a vehicle to clear before you can start the next job, more turns, more billable hours, more pay. Add an air-conditioned, modern shop with up-to-date equipment and an electronic dispatch system that keeps work flowing, and you have a setup built around technician output, not just technician presence.
This is also a shop that invests in where you're headed. Factory training runs through Kia University, both online and in person, backed by hands-on coaching from the Service Manager, with Advanced EV Diagnostics training provided as vehicles shift toward electric. The dealership has been named a Top 25 Best Dealership to Work For by Automotive News Canada for seven straight years running, and when a role opens up, they look internally first.
The two-bay setup is the headline, but it's not the only thing worth knowing. This is a team that works hard, has fun doing it, and genuinely likes each other — regular team dinners and outings are part of the culture, not an afterthought. The people who thrive here are strong technically and easy to work alongside. The people who don't tend to be the ones that put themselves ahead of the team.
What You'll Be Doing

• Perform diagnostics and repairs on vehicles to resolve mechanical and performance issues
• Conduct routine maintenance and inspections to manufacturer guidelines
• Troubleshoot and repair automotive electrical systems
• Communicate directly with service advisors and customers about findings and repairs
• Maintain accurate repair orders and service documentation
• Help train and mentor junior technicians as needed
• Stay current on evolving automotive technology, including EV systems
