Just graduated from automotive school? Already a year into turning wrenches at an independent shop and ready for the next step? Pride Motor Group is hiring 2 to 4 Apprentice Technicians at our Chevrolet store in Lynn, and we didn't just slap "entry level" on a job posting and call it a day. We built an actual in-house apprenticeship program that moves you toward factory certification, more pay, and more responsibility on a defined timeline, not a vague promise.

• Employee and family vehicle purchase plan
• Your own personal development coach through Car Motivators, one-on-one
• Real opportunities for advancement in a promote-from-within shop

What We Need From You

• A recent graduate of an accredited automotive technical or trade school, OR at least 12 months of verifiable, hands-on automotive repair experience in an independent shop or dealership (this is a must-have, not a nice-tohave)
• A genuine interest in pursuing factory certifications and building a career, not just clocking hours
• Strong work ethic and a growth mindset. You'll be coached hard and pushed to improve fast
• Friendly, coachable, and a true team player. You're joining a work family, and we mean that literally
• Insurable under our dealership garage policy, with a valid driver's license and a clean driving record

Why Pride Motor Group

We're in the business of selling and servicing new and used vehicles while providing an exceptional customer experience, and our technicians are the backbone of that promise. Pride Motor Group has been a family-owned business for over 40 years. Suzanne Iovanna stepped into ownership unexpectedly in 2014, earned her NADA dealer certification, trained directly with Kia and Hyundai in Korea, and became one of the only women dealer principals in the country. That same determination is what she expects her team to build their careers on. As an apprentice here, you won't just be handed a bay and left to figure it out. You'll work alongside experienced technicians, get access to full OEM and in-house training, and have a dedicated Car Motivators coach helping you build the habits and skills that turn an apprentice into an A-tech.

Culture

• Family owned and operated for over 40 years. Suzanne Iovanna has run Pride Motor Group since 2014, when she stepped in unexpectedly and became one of the few women dealer principals in the country. That same grit and family-first mindset runs through the shop, not just the showroom
• Actively involved in the Lynn community: My Brother's Table of Lynn, Girls Inc of Lynn, local youth sports, and proud members of the Lynn Chamber of Commerce
• Personal, one on one coaching is available for all staff through our partnership with Car Motivators, a dedicated performance coach who is in your corner, not just a manager checking boxes
• A real promote from within track record. Hiring decisions are made by the people you'll actually work for, not a distant HR office, because our department heads want to see you move up

Responsibilities

• Learn and perform maintenance, diagnostic, and repair tasks under the guidance of experienced technicians
• Read, comprehend, and complete all actions on assigned repair orders
• Perform, document, and video all multipoint inspection findings on the repair order
• Follow all safety guidelines and keep your workspace, tools, and customer vehicles secure at all times
• Communicate clearly and professionally with technicians, advisors, and staff
• Complete all required OEM and in-house training and certifications on schedule
• Treat every vehicle, and every customer's trust, like it's your own name on the repair order
• Show up dependable, on time, and ready to learn every single day
