Provide guidance on proper usage and preventative maintenance.
Tackle a wide range of jobs including hydraulics, powertrains, brake systems, fuel systems, and AC.
Test drive and adjust systems to verify performance.
Ensure compliance with federal and state safety standards.
Manage shop tools, inventory, and part orders.
Use warranties and evaluate service options to reduce costs.
Take on additional tasks as needed - you're the type who gets it done.
