Qualifications

Automotive inspection, maintenance, lube-technician, or general-service experience preferred.
Working knowledge of common automotive systems and maintenance items.
Ability to safely road-test vehicles and operate an automotive lift.
Ability to recognize worn, damaged, leaking, loose, or unsafe components.
Strong attention to detail.
Clear written and verbal communication skills.
Comfortable using a tablet or mobile inspection application.
Able to work independently while also asking for assistance when necessary.
Dependable, organized, and able to follow a prioritized schedule.
European-vehicle experience is helpful but not required.

Responsibilities

Perform complete digital multipoint inspections using a tablet-based inspection system.
Road-test vehicles and document relevant observations.
Photograph vehicle condition, warning lights, fluid leaks, damage, and other findings.
Measure and document brake-pad thickness, tire tread depth, tire condition, and other wear items.
Inspect lighting, fluids, filters, belts, hoses, suspension, steering, brakes, exhaust, underbody components, and other vehicle systems.
Raise vehicles on a dedicated lift and safely remove and reinstall underbody shields when necessary.
Clearly classify inspection findings according to company standards.
Write complete notes that tell the service advisor: what was found, where it was found, how severe it is, what repair or maintenance should be recommended, whether additional inspection or diagnosis is required.
Ask a repair technician for a second opinion when a condition is unclear.
Communicate immediately when a safety concern or significant problem is identified.
Help keep inspections moving according to the dispatcher’s priorities.
Depending on experience, possibly perform oil changes, tire service, bulbs, filters, wipers, and other minor maintenance.
