Are you passionate about cars and take pride in solving complex problems the right way? Do you enjoy the challenge of diagnosing and repairing vehicles that others can’t? Lee Johnson Chevrolet is looking for an experienced Heavy Line GM Technician to join our team. Lee Johnson has been family-owned and operated since 1933, now in its third generation. We believe people come first—our customers, our team, and our community. Our reputation is built on trust, care, and long-term relationships, not shortcuts. As a growing auto group with multiple locations, we’re committed to promoting from within and helping our technicians build long, successful careers. As a Heavy Line Chevrolet Technician, you’ll be responsible for diagnosing and repairing complex vehicle systems while maintaining the highest quality and safety standards.

Responsibilities Include

  • Perform diagnostic and repair work as outlined on repair orders with efficiency and accuracy, following GM manufacturer standards
  • Accurately diagnose the cause of vehicle malfunctions, including engine, transmission, drivability, and major mechanical systems
  • Complete all repairs in compliance with applicable safety requirements
  • Road test vehicles to verify quality of repairs
  • Accurately record labor time using company time clock procedures
  • Clearly document all work performed, including diagnostic steps and test results
  • Maintain a clean, organized workspace and complete daily stall cleaning
  • Ensure customer vehicles are returned as clean as they were received
  • Communicate effectively with service advisors, foremen, and management to support customer needs
  • Report any condition that may jeopardize safety, integrity, or dealership operations
  • Maintain required GM training certifications and actively pursue ongoing training

What We’re Looking For

  • Minimum 2 years of GM automotive heavy line technician experience
  • ASE certifications preferred
  • Strong diagnostic skills and attention to detail
  • Team-oriented mindset with a strong work ethic
  • Reliable transportation

Why Lee Johnson Chevrolet

  • Family-owned dealership with long-term stability
  • Strong shop culture focused on teamwork and respect
  • Opportunities for advancement within a growing auto group
  • Ongoing GM training and development
  • A dealership that values quality work and doing things right the first time

As part of our commitment to safety and compliance, all final candidates must successfully complete the following prior to hire:

  • Pre-employment drug screening
  • Criminal background check
  • Motor vehicle record (MVR) review

Employment is contingent upon the satisfactory completion of these screenings.

If you’re a skilled technician who takes pride in your craft and wants to work for a dealership that truly values its people, we’d love to meet you.
