• Open and close customer-pay, warranty, and internal repair orders
• Follow OEM warranty procedures and maintain proper documentation
• Support parts coordination by verifying correct part numbers and helping ensure jobs are ready before service begins
• Operate efficiently in Dealer DMS, CRM, and OEM systems

Customer Service

• Deliver excellent customer service with professionalism and confidence
• Greet customers promptly and communicate clearly in person, over the phone, and through email/text
• Keep customers informed throughout the repair process—even when there are delays or no major updates
• Handle complaints and difficult situations with a calm, solutions‑focused attitude
• Recommend maintenance and additional services when appropriate
• Pay close attention to repeat repairs and help ensure issues are fully resolved

What We’re Looking For

• Comfortable balancing customer satisfaction with shop efficiency and profitability
• Current motorcycle endorsement required

What We Offer

• Competitive pay with commission opportunities and growth potential
• Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Health insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• A fun, high‑energy environment surrounded by passionate motorcycle people

Working Conditions

• Fast‑paced dealership and shop environment
• Frequent exposure to moving motorcycles, shop equipment, exhaust fumes, fuel, and cleaning chemicals
• Occasional lifting, pushing, or balancing motorcycles up to 600+ lbs with assistance as needed
