Inspection Technician

Description

At Holmes Motors, every vehicle has to start somewhere—and it starts with Initial Inspection
.

We're looking for a hands-on Automotive Initial Inspection Technician who knows vehicles, notices the little things, and takes pride in getting the job done right. You'll be responsible for identifying mechanical, safety, and condition issues before a vehicle moves through the rest of our reconditioning process.

This isn't a position where you'll spend your day doing the same repair over and over.
You'll inspect, diagnose, maintain, repair, document, and make sure each vehicle is ready for its next step.

As an Initial Inspection Technician, you'll:

• Road-test vehicles on an established route to identify unusual noises, vibrations, drivability concerns, and other issues that need attention.
• Put vehicles on a lift and perform a complete visual inspection
  , including the exterior, interior, undercarriage, and under the hood, looking for damage and missing, broken, or worn components.
• Accurately document everything you find and identify/request parts needed to complete repairs.
• Perform an oil change on every assigned vehicle and properly document the service.
• Use diagnostic equipment to scan vehicles for warning codes when dashboard warning lights are present and record the results.
• Replace tires and TPMS sensors when needed.
• Balance tires after replacement or when diagnosing vibration concerns.
• Inspect and replace worn or out-of-spec brake components as needed.
• Check all running, driving, and exterior lights; replace failed bulbs/components and document deficiencies.
• Perform a final check to verify all Initial Inspection work has been completed before releasing the vehicle.
• Enter inspection findings and completed work into the Holmes Motors App
  .
• Route vehicles to the appropriate next department
• Complete required paperwork and daily production/work logs
