Job Summary:

As our Shop Porter & QC Technician, you'll be the "eyes and hands" keeping the shop flowing—moving vehicles safely, maintaining a clean/organized environment, and performing final quality checks on completed repairs to ensure every customer drives away happy and safe. This hybrid role is perfect for a detail-oriented, reliable person who loves cars and wants hands-on experience in a busy repair shop.

Key Responsibilities:

• Porter Duties:
  • Move customer vehicles in/out of bays, to/from the lot, or for test drives (safely and courteously).
  • Clean and detail vehicles (interior/exterior vacuuming, wiping down, basic wash as needed).
  • Keep the shop spotless: empty trash, sweep/mop floors, organize tools/parts, drain oil buckets, and maintain a safe workspace.
  • Assist techs/advisors with pulling cars forward, shuttling customers, or running quick errands.
  • Greet customers professionally and help with drop-off/pick-up.
• QC Technician Duties:
  • Perform final inspections on completed repairs (check work against RO specs, test brakes/lights/alignment, road test if qualified).
  • Identify defects, incomplete work, or safety issues before vehicle release.
  • Document findings in Tekmetric (our shop software) and communicate with techs/advisors for fixes.
  • Help ensure high customer satisfaction by catching issues early.
• General:
  • Work cooperatively with the team (techs, advisors, owner).
  • Follow all safety protocols (OSHA, MSDS for chemicals).
  • Be flexible—duties may vary based on daily needs in our high-car-count shop.

Qualifications & Requirements:

• Valid driver's license with clean driving record (must be insurable).
• Reliable transportation and ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong attention to detail and pride in a clean, organized workspace.
• Basic knowledge of cars/repairs a plus (e.g., prior detailing, porter, or entry-level auto experience).
• For QC side: Experience with inspections, tools (calipers, etc.), or quality checks preferred but not required—we'll train the right person!
• Positive attitude, teamwork, and willingness to learn (opportunities to grow into tech roles).
• Ability to lift 50+ lbs, stand/walk for long periods, and work in varying weather.
