Lube Technician Jobs in California

A Lube Technician in the automotive industry performs essential maintenance tasks on various vehicles. Their primary duties include changing oil, inspecting vehicle fluid levels, replacing air filters, and rotating tires. They also inspect vehicles for potential problems and perform other preventive maintenance tasks. Lube Technicians can work in auto repair shops, car dealerships, and quick lube shops. They are often the first line of defense in maintaining a vehicle's health and longevity, providing invaluable services to vehicle owners and the automotive industry as a whole.

They should also have a basic understanding of vehicle systems and parts. Some positions may require ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certification. Prior to becoming a Lube Technician, a person may have roles such as a general Service Technician, a Tire Technician, or an Automotive Detailer, where they can gain foundational skills and knowledge in automotive maintenance and repair.
