Job Requirements for Automotive Technicians in Rockford, IL

What does it take to land an entry-level auto technician job in Rockford? For starters, entry-level mechanics must have a valid driver’s license the ability to drive customer and company vehicles, and a natural inclination for problem-solving. A.S.E certification in at least one of A1-A8 is also required. (Similar qualifications are accepted, but an A.S.E certification is required within two years of employment.) Prior auto repair experience and completion of a Vocational-Technical program are a plus, but they’re not needed for entry-level mechanic jobs in Rockford.
