The right candidate will be comfortable diagnosing complex mechanical, electrical, emissions, and drivability concerns and performing repairs ranging from routine maintenance to major engine, drivetrain, and chassis work.

Responsibilities

• Diagnose and repair Mercedes-Benz Sprinter diesel and gasoline vehicles using manufacturer procedures, diagnostic equipment, and technical information.
• Diagnose diesel engine performance, drivability, starting, fuel system, turbocharger, and emissions-related concerns.
• Diagnose and repair diesel emissions and aftertreatment systems, including DEF/SCR, DPF, EGR, NOx monitoring, and related components.
• Perform mechanical repairs including engines, transmissions, cooling systems, fuel systems, brakes, steering, suspension, drivetrain, and related components.
• Diagnose electrical and electronic concerns using scan tools, wiring diagrams, multimeters, and other diagnostic equipment.
• Perform routine maintenance including oil and filter services, fuel filters, transmission services, brake services, and other manufacturer-required maintenance.
• Use Mercedes-Benz diagnostic software and equipment to accurately identify vehicle faults and follow manufacturer test procedures.
• Conduct thorough vehicle inspections and identify safety, maintenance, and repair needs.
• Perform road tests as necessary to verify customer concerns and confirm completed repairs.
• Complete warranty and recall repairs in accordance with Mercedes-Benz procedures and documentation requirements.
• Maintain accurate and detailed documentation of diagnostic findings, cause of failure, repairs performed, parts used, and technician time.
• Communicate effectively with Team Leaders and Service Advisors regarding diagnostic findings, repair recommendations, additional work needed and expected completion times.
• Notify appropriate service personnel promptly when additional diagnosis, parts, authorization, or time is required to complete a repair.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.
• Follow all dealership, manufacturer, state, and federal safety and environmental requirements.
• Maintain required Mercedes-Benz training and certifications following employment.
• Assist in the development of less-experienced technicians and apprentices when appropriate.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent required; automotive or diesel technical training preferred.
• Professional diesel repair and diagnostic experience strongly preferred.
• Experience diagnosing diesel engine performance, fuel, emissions, electrical, or drivability concerns.
• Experience with Sprinter, Mercedes-Benz, European vehicles, medium-duty trucks, commercial vehicles, or fleet maintenance is highly desirable.
• Ability to perform mechanical repairs beyond routine maintenance, including engine, drivetrain, suspension, brake, and emissions-system repairs.
• Strong electrical diagnostic skills and ability to interpret wiring diagrams and technical service information.
• Proficiency with professional diagnostic scan tools and test equipment.
• Mercedes-Benz/XENTRY diagnostic experience is preferred but not required.
• ASE certifications are preferred but not required.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and a methodical approach to diagnosis and troubleshooting.
• Ability to accurately document diagnostic findings and completed repairs.
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced professional dealership environment while maintaining high standards for quality and safety.
• Ability to work effectively as part of a team and communicate clearly with Team Leaders, Service Advisors, Parts personnel, and other technicians.
• Ability to drive vehicles equipped with automatic and manual transmissions.
• Ability to work some Saturdays.
