General
Job Description

service technicians perform preventative
maintenance, diagnose faulty operations, and
repair automotive vehicles and light trucks.
Automotive
service technicians adjust, test and repair
engines, steering systems, braking systems, drive
trains, vehicle suspensions, electrical systems
and air-conditioning systems, and do wheel

dismantle
faulty assemblies, repair or replace worn or
damaged parts

reassemble,
adjust and test the repaired mechanism

service technicians also may:
-
perform
scheduled maintenance services such as oil
changes, lubrications and tune ups
-
advise
customers on work performed, general vehicle
conditions and future repair requirements
