Experienced automotive technicians can build careers earning $70,000, $80,000, $100,000+ per year, and Quick Lane is a great place to start building the skills and experience needed to get there.

• Starting pay of $20.00 per hour
• A clear opportunity to advance beyond Quick Lane
• Ford training and technician development opportunities
• Hands-on experience working on customer vehicles every day
• Opportunities to learn from experienced technicians and shop leadership
• Paid Time Off and Paid Sick Leave
• Medical, Dental and Vision insurance
• Paid Life Insurance
• 401(k) plan with Fidelity
• Employee discounts on vehicles, parts and service
• Clean, professional shop with the equipment you need
• Large, established customer base and plenty of work

What You'll Learn and Do

As a Quick Lane Technician, you'll build a strong foundation in automotive service while performing:

• Oil and filter changes
• Tire rotations and balancing
• Fluid inspections and maintenance
• Multi-point vehicle inspections
• Battery, filter and other maintenance services
• Basic brake repairs
• Proper documentation of inspections and repairs
• Manufacturer-recommended maintenance

Previous lube or automotive experience is preferred, but we're also interested in mechanically inclined people with the right attitude and a desire to learn.

We're Looking for Someone Who Wants to Grow

You don't need to have your entire career figured out before applying. You do need to be dependable, willing to learn, comfortable working with your hands, and interested in getting better at what you do.

If your goal is to eventually become a full-line automotive technician, diagnostic technician, diesel technician, or another highly skilled automotive professional, we want to give you an opportunity to start building that career. This isn't just about changing oil. It's about learning the business, developing your skills, and earning your next opportunity.

Physical Requirements

Work is performed primarily indoors in a shop environment. The position requires standing and walking throughout the shift as well as frequent pushing, pulling, crouching, squatting, reaching and kneeling. Technicians regularly use automotive hand and power tools and may occasionally be required to lift, push, or pull between 20 and 100 pounds.
