Job summary

Dean McCrary Mazda in Mobile, Alabama, is seeking a dealership mechanic to perform scheduled maintenance and repairs on Mazda vehicles in a franchised service drive on the I-65 Service Road South.

• Tell us what you have worked on and what certifications you hold, and we will be straight with you about whether it is a fit.

Responsibilities

• Scheduled maintenance and repair across the Mazda lineup — oil and filters, brakes, tyres and alignment, cooling and drivability work, and the inspection that goes with every visit.
• Jobs come in through a service advisor with a written symptom, and the repair is documented back the same way.

Job description

Repair and maintenance work on a franchised service drive, on the I-65 Service Road in Mobile. Here is what the job actually is.

A dealership mechanic works to the manufacturer’s procedures on one manufacturer’s cars. That is a different job from independent repair, and it is worth knowing which one you want.

What the Work Is

Scheduled maintenance and repair across the Mazda lineup — oil and filters, brakes, tyres and alignment, cooling and drivability work, and the inspection that goes with every visit. Jobs come in through a service advisor with a written symptom, and the repair is documented back the same way.

What You Bring

Hands-on repair experience and your own hand tools. A clean driving licence, because you will be moving customer vehicles around a working lot. Comfort reading a procedure and following it rather than working from memory.

Who It Suits

Somebody who would rather go deep on one brand than broad across twenty. On a franchised drive you see the same platforms often enough to know them properly, and the parts on the shelf are the ones the car was built with.

Want to see where the work happens before you ask about a role?

Dealership repair versus independent repair

An independent shop sees everything once; a franchised shop sees a few things constantly. The procedures are Mazda’s, the parts are Genuine Mazda Parts, and the diagnostic information is the manufacturer’s rather than an aggregator guess. Some mechanics prefer that and some do not.

Where the shop is

The service drive is at Dean McCrary Mazda on the I-65 Service Road South at the Airport Blvd interchange in Mobile, Alabama — a straightforward commute from across Mobile County and from Baldwin County across the bay.
