Required Qualifications for Hickory Advanced Mechanics

Want to know what it takes to get a Hickory advanced technician job? You must have five or more years of experience working on cars and have completed an automotive Vocational-Technical program. Having a valid driver’s license at all times, combined with the ability to drive customer and company cars is a must-have. You should also have good writing, math, reading, and communication 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’re not, you’ll have up to two years from when you join the team to get adequately certified. If North Carolina calls for extra certifications, you must also obtain and maintain those.
