Kalamazoo, MI Advanced Mechanic Job Description

So, what does the day-to-day life of mechanics in Kalamazoo look like? 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 Kalamazoo have a number of responsibilities including fixing cars per manufacturer standards by taking care of things like transmission repairs and alignments, as well as brake checks and A/C recharges. Advanced mechanics also mentor their less experienced teammates, assisting them with hands-on tasks such as tire maintenance and part installations.

Landing an Advanced Auto Tech Job in Kalamazoo, MI

Wondering if you qualify for a Kalamazoo advanced technician position with Firestone Complete Auto Care? You must have a few years (5 years minimum) of mechanical experience under your belt and proof of completion of a Vocational-Technical program in the automotive field. A valid auto driver’s license along with the ability to drive customer and company cars is a must. You’ll also need adequate math, reading, writing, and communication skills. An ideal candidate is also A.S.E. certified in at least five of A1-A8 (L1 counts toward the five, too). Don’t have these qualifications… yet? No worries, you’ll have up to two years from the date of your employment to comply. If Michigan calls for extra certifications, you’ll be expected to get those, too. Last but not least, you must have the ability (and patience) to mentor entry-level mechanics and educate non-mechanically-inclined guests about inspection findings and service recommendations.
