What You'll Be Doing: As a Tire & General Service Technician, your primary responsibilities will include.
  • Performing oil and filter services.
  • Mounting, balancing, replacing, and repairing tires.
  • Performing tire rotations.
  • Checking and adjusting tire pressures.
  • Completing thorough vehicle health inspections.
  • Identifying maintenance and safety concerns.
  • Performing basic preventative maintenance services.
  • Maintaining a clean and organized work area.
  • Following proper safety and quality-control procedures.

As your skills develop, we want to train you to perform:
  • Wheel alignments.
  • Fluid maintenance services.
  • Brake services.
  • Additional mechanical repairs and maintenance.

The goal is not simply to hire someone to change oil and tires. We are looking for someone who wants to develop into a well-rounded automotive technician.

What We're Looking For:
  • Some automotive, tire, or mechanical experience preferred.
  • Tire service experience is a plus.
  • Basic understanding of automotive systems.
  • Strong attention to detail.
  • Ability to perform consistent, high-quality vehicle inspections.
  • Valid driver's license.
  • Ability to lift up to 70 pounds.
  • Strong work ethic and reliability.
  • Willingness to learn and participate in ongoing training.
  • Ability to work well as part of a team.
  • Commitment to safety and quality.

Experience with alignments, brakes, or preventative maintenance is a plus, but not required.

What matters most is that you have a solid foundation, mechanical aptitude, and the desire to continue learning.

Your Opportunity to Grow:
Crown City Tire Auto Care has four technician levels, from Level 1 through Level 4.

This position is designed to give a developing technician the experience and training needed to progress into higher-level work.

We want someone who can become excellent at tires, oil services, and inspections first — then continue developing into alignments, brakes, maintenance services, and more advanced automotive repair.

Your growth does not have to stop at this position.

Work Schedule: This is a full-time position working.
  • Monday through Friday.
  • 7:45 AM – 5:30 PM.
  • No weekends.
