Used Car Reconditioning Technician

Job Details

Job Location:

85D79 Hayes CDJ Lawrenceville - Lawrenceville, GA 30046

Hayes Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Lawrenceville is looking for an experienced, motivated Used Car Reconditioning Technician to join our service team.

We sell a high volume of pre-owned vehicles, and this position plays a critical role in getting our inventory inspected, repaired, safe, and frontline-ready quickly.

We are looking for someone who understands that used-car recon is about more than fixing cars—it’s about speed, quality, communication, and keeping inventory moving.

• Perform complete mechanical inspections on incoming used vehicles
• Diagnose mechanical, electrical, suspension, brake, steering, HVAC, and drivability concerns
• Perform maintenance and repairs needed to bring vehicles to dealership standards
• Complete oil changes, brakes, tires, batteries, tune-ups, fluid services, and other maintenance items
• Handle more advanced mechanical repairs based on experience and skill level
• Identify safety concerns and necessary repairs quickly and accurately
• Clearly document recommended repairs and inspection findings
• Work closely with the Used Car Department, Recon Manager, Parts Department, and Service Management
• Help prioritize vehicles based on dealership needs and days in recon
• Complete approved work efficiently so vehicles can be photographed, priced, and placed on the frontline
• Perform quality-control checks before vehicles leave the recon process
• Keep your work area, tools, and equipment clean and organized
• Follow dealership and manufacturer safety procedures

• Previous automotive technician experience preferred
• Used-car reconditioning experience is a major plus
• Strong diagnostic and mechanical skills
• Ability to inspect a vehicle and identify needed repairs without unnecessary over-repair
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment
• Strong attention to detail
• Good communication with management and parts personnel
• Dependable attendance and a strong work ethic
• Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record
• Must have your own basic technician tools
• Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram experience is a plus, but we work on all makes and models
• Reynolds & Reynolds experience is a plus

Our best recon technicians understand the balance between QUALITY + SPEED + COST.

We need technicians who can answer three questions:

• What does this vehicle actually need?
• What will it take to make it safe and retail-ready?
• How quickly can we get it done?

A vehicle sitting in the shop can't be sold. Our goal is to properly recondition vehicles while keeping our recon cycle time as short as possible.

• High-volume, steady workflow
• Competitive compensation based on experience and ability
• Opportunity to earn based on productivity
• Established dealership with a large used-car operation
• Professional shop environment
• Management committed to keeping technicians productive
• Benefits available for full-time employees
• Paid training and advancement opportunities
• Long-term career opportunity with the Hayes Automotive Group

Hayes Automotive Group has been serving Northeast Georgia for generations. We believe in taking care of our customers, taking care of our employees, and doing business the right way.

Our philosophy is simple:

Welcome to the Family.

If you're a technician who takes pride in your work, likes staying busy, and understands that every day a used vehicle sits in recon costs the dealership money, we want to talk to you.
