Automotive Technician

Service is one of the most important departments in a dealership. It is a key profit center with more people, facilities and equipment than any other department. It is also the key to the success of a dealership. If customers do not receive courteous, prompt and reliable service, it is unlikely that they will come back.

Today's service technician job is more skilled and challenging than ever before. New cars and trucks are far more complex than they used to be, and a modern service bay is beginning to look like a science lab, with lots of expensive, sophisticated diagnostic and repair equipment, including computers.
