About The Current Open Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented and motivated individual to join our service team as an Internal/PDI Technician at Thornhill. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring that every vehicle entering our inventory—whether new from the factory or a pre-owned acquisition—meets our rigorous safety and quality standards.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced unlicensed technician or a 2nd/3rd-year apprentice who excels in a fast-paced environment and enjoys the "behind-the-scenes" preparation that makes our showroom floor possible.

What We're Looking For 

·       Perform comprehensive inspections on new vehicle arrivals, removing shipping protection, verifying fluid levels, and ensuring all features are functioning according to manufacturer specifications.

·       Conduct inspections and basic mechanical repairs on used vehicle trade-ins to prepare them for retail sale.

·       Perform oil changes, tire rotations, brake services, and battery replacements on internal inventory.

·       Identify and report any required repairs that fall outside the scope of "internal prep" to the Shop Foreman.

·       Maintain a clean and organized workspace, ensuring all tools and equipment are handled with care.

·       Accurately record all work performed and parts used within the dealership management system.

What You'll Bring 

·       Proven experience in an automotive shop environment (Lube Technician, Apprentice, or similar).

·       While a 310S License is not required for this specific role, progress toward an apprenticeship is considered an asset.

·       Ability to manage a high volume of vehicles while maintaining a high standard of quality.

·       A valid Driver’s License and a clean driving record are mandatory.

·       Must possess automotive tools.

·       Strong ability to follow written instructions and provide clear updates to the internal team.

What We Offer: 

·       Competitive compensation and benefits package.

·       Employee team building and social events.  

·       Learning and development programs for all team members. 

·       Growth potential within our organization. 

·       Employee discount programs.

·       Foss purchase and service program.

·       Employee referral and recognition programs.
