Saint Petersburg Advanced Auto Technician Job Description

What’s it like being an auto technician in Saint Petersburg? As an advanced auto and tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you can expect your days to be filled with all things car-related, from road testing and fixing vehicles to educating non-mechanical clients on mechanical repairs.

Advanced mechanics in Saint Petersburg have a number of responsibilities including fixing cars per manufacturer standards by taking care of things like transmission repairs and alignments, as well as inspections and brake checks. Advanced mechanics also mentor their less experienced teammates, overseeing them as they perform everyday services like tire maintenance and part installations. Most importantly, you’ll help support the Firestone Complete Auto Care promise: to deliver cars that are fixed right, priced right, right on time.

Requirements for Advanced Technicians in Saint Petersburg

Wondering if you qualify for a Saint Petersburg advanced technician position with Firestone Complete Auto Care? You must have five or more years of experience working on cars and hold proof of completion of a Vocational-Technical program in the mechanical field. A valid driver’s license combined with the ability to test drive clients’ cars is a must-have. You will also need excellent reading, writing, math, and customer service skills. A stand-out applicant also has A.S.E. certifications in at least five of A1-48 (L1 counts toward the five, too). If you are not, you will have a maximum of two years from the date of your employment to comply with this requirement. Saint Petersburg, FL may also require extra certifications, in which case you can expect to obtain those as well. Just as importantly, you must have the skill to mentor your less experienced teammates and educate non-mechanically-inclined guests about inspection findings and service recommendations.
