Landing an Advanced Auto Tech Job in Portage, MI

Want to know what it takes to get a Portage advanced technician job? You must have five or more years of experience working on cars and proof of completion of a Vocational-Technical program in the automotive field. Having a valid driver’s license at all times, combined with the ability to test drive clients’ cars is a must. You should also have good writing, math, reading, 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. If Michigan calls for extra certifications, you can expect to obtain those as well.
