Wise Auto Group
Tucson, AZ Full Time
POSTED ON 6/9/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/8/2026
About Us

We are a busy, customer-focused dealership service department committed to doing repairs the

right way and developing technicians for long-term careers. If you’re new to the industry or

currently working in quick lube, this is an opportunity to get into a structured shop with clear

expectations, consistent workflow, and a real growth path.

Position Overview

We’re hiring entry-level technicians and lube techs who want more than “just oil changes.” This

role starts in Express Service with strong coaching, defined skill milestones, and a development

plan designed to move you into Main Shop work over time. You’ll learn dealership processes,

proper inspection habits, and core mechanical fundamentals—then advance as you

demonstrate consistency, quality, and productivity.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform routine maintenance services: oil and filter changes, tire rotations, fluid checks,

and basic inspections

  • Complete multi-point inspections and document findings accurately
  • Perform light repair and maintenance items as training allows (filters, batteries, wipers,

bulbs, tire repairs)

  • Follow safety procedures, vehicle protection standards, and quality control checks
  • Maintain accurate repair order documentation (notes, parts usage, labor ops)
  • Keep a clean, organized bay and care for tools and equipment
  • Participate in training, coaching, and skills verification as part of your development plan
  • Work collaboratively with advisors and technicians to support efficient shop flow

Advancement Path & Development Plan

This position is built around progression. Your growth is based on performance, consistency,

and skill completion—not time served.

Phase 1: Express Foundations (Weeks 1–8)

  • Oil services, rotations, MPI consistency, shop safety, and workflow habits
  • Focus: accuracy, pace, and zero-comeback fundamentals

Phase 2: Maintenance & Light Repair (Weeks 8–20)

  • Tires (mount/balance), batteries, brakes (as approved), alignment basics, minor leak

checks

  • Focus: proper procedures, correct parts usage, and clean documentation

Phase 3: Apprentice Technician (Months 5–12)

  • Guided main shop exposure: suspension/steering components, cooling system basics,

drivability fundamentals

  • Focus: building skill breadth with oversight and quality verification

Phase 4: Main Shop Technician (12 Months, performance-based)

  • Expanded repair work aligned to your strengths and certifications
  • Focus: productivity, quality, and long-term career track

Training & Support You Can Expect

  • A structured checklist of skills and milestones
  • Coaching from shop leadership and senior technicians
  • Manufacturer and/or online training opportunities (based on store programs)
  • Clear expectations for what it takes to move up

Qualifications

  • 0–2 years of technician experience; lube/quick lube experience is a plus
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn
  • Dependable attendance and a professional, team-first attitude
  • Ability to work on your feet all day; lift up to 50 lbs as needed
  • Valid driver’s license and acceptable driving record
  • Basic tools preferred (tool requirements increase as you advance)

Why Join Us

  • Real advancement path with defined skill milestones
  • Steady workflow in a structured dealership environment
  • Leadership that values training, quality work, and technician growth
  • Opportunity to build a long-term career in automotive service

Benefits

  • Competitive pay with growth potential based on performance
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage options
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
  • 401(k) retirement plan options
  • Employee discounts and dealership perks
