Knowledge of basic vehicle systems and technical resources is a plus.

Requirements include being 18 years or older, authorized to work in the U.S., holding a valid in-state driver's license, and having a good driving record, per company standards. A High School Diploma or equivalent is required.

• Inspect and refill fluid levels of key components and lubricate moving parts with specified lubricants
• Perform the Ken Garff Electronic Multi-Point Inspection along with video on every vehicle
