About JBS Auto Service

JBS Auto Service is an independent automotive repair shop specializing in light-duty diesel pickup truck repair and maintenance . About 80% of our workload is diesel pickups , including Powerstroke, Duramax, and Cummins trucks.

We are not a medium-duty or heavy-duty diesel shop. We do not work on semis, buses, big rigs, or over-the-road trucks. Our focus is diesel pickup diagnostics, maintenance, and repair.

We are looking for an experienced, certified, or dealership-trained diesel technician who wants steady diesel pickup work, a strong independent shop environment, and no weekends .

This is a great opportunity for a Ford, GM, or Ram diesel technician who is tired of the dealership grind, warranty time, Saturdays, and corporate pressure, but still wants to do high-quality diesel work in a professional shop.

Position Overview

We are looking for an experienced light-duty diesel pickup technician who can diagnose, service, and repair Ford, GM, and Ram diesel trucks.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience with one or more of the following platforms:

  • Ford Powerstroke
  • Chevrolet/GMC Duramax
  • Dodge/Ram Cummins

You do not need to be an expert in all three brands, but strong diesel pickup experience is important. Ford, GM, Ram/Stellantis, Cummins, or ASE certifications are strongly preferred.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in accurate diagnostics, quality repairs, good documentation, and working as part of a team.

Key Responsibilities
  • Diagnose and repair light-duty diesel pickup trucks.
  • Perform diesel engine diagnostics, drivability diagnostics, and no-start diagnostics.
  • Diagnose and repair fuel system issues, turbocharger issues, cooling system problems, emissions system faults, and electrical concerns.
  • Work on Ford Powerstroke, Chevrolet/GMC Duramax, and Dodge/Ram Cummins diesel pickups.
  • Perform routine diesel maintenance, including oil changes, fuel filters, air filters, fluid services, and inspections.
  • Diagnose and repair EGR, DPF, DEF, SCR, NOx, and other diesel emissions-related systems.
  • Use scan tools, diagnostic equipment, service information, and proper testing procedures.
  • Perform digital vehicle inspections accurately and thoroughly.
  • Document findings, test results, recommendations, parts used, and repairs performed.
  • Communicate clearly with service advisors and other technicians.
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area.
  • Follow shop procedures and safety standards.
  • Help support and guide entry-level technicians or apprentices when needed.
Qualifications
  • Experience diagnosing and repairing light-duty diesel pickup trucks.
  • Strong knowledge of at least one diesel platform: Powerstroke, Duramax, or Cummins.
  • Ford, GM, Ram/Stellantis, Cummins, or ASE certifications preferred.
  • ASE A9 Light Vehicle Diesel certification is a plus.
  • Dealership diesel experience is a plus.
  • Strong electrical and drivability diagnostic skills preferred.
  • Experience with diesel fuel systems, turbo systems, cooling systems, and emissions systems.
  • Ability to use scan tools and service information effectively.
  • Ability to document repairs and recommendations clearly.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality work.
  • Team-oriented attitude and willingness to communicate with advisors and technicians.
  • Valid driver’s license and clean driving record.
This Job May Be a Good Fit If You:
  • Are a Ford, GM, or Ram diesel technician looking for a better shop environment.
  • Want to work on diesel pickups without dealing with medium-duty or heavy-duty trucks.
  • Are tired of warranty time, dealership politics, or weekend schedules.
  • Want steady diesel pickup work in an independent shop.
  • Take pride in diagnosing problems correctly the first time.
  • Enjoy working on Ford Power Stroke, Chevy/GMC Duramax, and Ram Cummins trucks.
  • Want to be part of a shop that is serious about growing its diesel pickup repair team.
  • Are willing to help mentor entry-level technicians as the diesel department grows.
What We Offer
  • Competitive pay: $40–$60 per hour , based on experience, certifications, and diagnostic ability.
  • No weekends.
  • Retirement plan with employer match.
  • Health insurance — employer pays 50%.
  • Dental insurance — employer pays 50%.
  • Vision insurance — employer pays 50%.
  • Flexible spending account.
  • Health savings account.
  • Employer-paid life insurance.
  • Employer-paid AD&D insurance.
  • Employee assistance program.
  • Employee wellness benefits.
  • Vacation pay up to 3 weeks.
  • Holiday pay.
  • Sick pay.
  • Ongoing training and professional development opportunities.
  • Supportive team environment.
  • Employee discounts on services and parts.
  • Opportunities for advancement within the company.
  • Opportunity to help grow and shape our light-duty diesel department.
