Job Details

Job Location: Autoworld Kia - East Meadow, NY 11554

Salary Range: $30.00 - $50.00 Hourly

As an Automotive Technician (A & B Level) at Autoworld Kia, part of the Generation Auto Group, you will inspect, diagnose, maintain, and repair Kia vehicles to manufacturer and dealership standards. We are looking for experienced technicians who take pride in diagnosing problems accurately, repairing vehicles right the first time, and delivering high-quality workmanship.

Whether you're a Kia Certified Technician, Diagnostic Technician, or an experienced A or B Level Automotive Technician, you'll work on everything from routine maintenance to advanced drivability, electrical, engine, transmission, hybrid, EV, and ADAS repairs using the latest Kia diagnostic equipment and technology.

While this position is based at Autoworld Kia, we also highly value candidates with Hyundai and Genesis dealership experience. Because Kia, Hyundai, and Genesis share many of the same platforms, powertrains, diagnostic systems, and repair procedures, technicians with experience in those brands transition seamlessly into Kia. Whether you're already Kia Certified or looking to earn your Kia certifications, we provide ongoing manufacturer training and opportunities for career growth.

Your technical expertise, efficiency, and attention to detail directly impact customer satisfaction, shop productivity, fixed operations performance, and the overall success of our dealership.

What You'll Be Doing

Diagnostics, Repair & Maintenance

Perform diagnostics, troubleshooting, and repairs on engine, transmission, electrical, steering, suspension, brake, HVAC (heating & air conditioning), fuel, cooling, and drivability systems.
Diagnose complex electrical concerns using Kia factory diagnostic equipment, scan tools, wiring diagrams, and service information.
Perform factory scheduled maintenance including oil changes, tire rotations, alignments, brake service, fluid exchanges, battery replacement, and preventative maintenance.
Complete warranty repairs and customer pay repairs according to Kia repair procedures.
Inspect vehicles, verify customer concerns, road test when necessary, and ensure repairs are completed accurately and efficiently.

Technology & Certifications

Complete and maintain required Kia certification and training.
Stay current on Kia products, hybrid and electric vehicle technology, ADAS systems, software updates, and manufacturer repair procedures.
Utilize digital diagnostic tools, service information, and dealership software to maximize efficiency.

Multi-Point Inspections & Documentation

Perform comprehensive Digital Multi-Point Inspections (MPI) with detailed technician notes, photos, and videos when required.
Accurately document diagnostic findings, repair recommendations, warranty information, labor operations, and parts usage.
Identify maintenance needs and recommend additional repairs based on vehicle condition.

Teamwork & Customer Satisfaction

Work closely with Service Advisors, Parts Department, and Management to maintain an efficient workflow.
Communicate repair status, additional repair recommendations, and parts requirements promptly.
Mentor and assist other technicians when needed while contributing to a positive, team-oriented shop environment.

Quality & Safety

Deliver quality repairs that meet Kia and dealership standards.
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.
Follow all manufacturer repair procedures, dealership policies, and safety guidelines.
Ensure every vehicle is clean, protected, and ready for customer delivery.

What We’re Looking For

A or B Level Automotive Technician experience required
Kia experience strongly preferred (Hyundai and Genesis experience also highly valued)
Kia certifications are a plus
ASE Certifications preferred but not required
Strong diagnostic and electrical troubleshooting skills
Experience performing engine, transmission, drivability, suspension, brake, HVAC, and electrical repairs
Experience with hybrid and electric vehicles is a plus
Proficient using scan tools, digital inspections, diagnostic equipment, and dealership software
Own a complete set of professional automotive tools and toolbox
Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
Strong work ethic with the ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced dealership environment
Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Professional attitude with strong communication and teamwork skills
Ability to lift up to 70 pounds and perform the physical demands of an automotive technician
Flexible schedule, including Saturdays
Commitment to continuous learning and manufacturer training
