Careers at Xpress Oil & Lube

Read our Google reviews and you will notice that customers name the people who served them: Aaron, Justin, Nick, Anthony, Allen, Dominic. That is what the job is. A technician here changes oil and filters, runs the maintenance check, and then explains plainly what was found to a person who is standing right there. People who are good at this have stayed for years, and the customers who write "I have been coming here for fourteen years" are usually talking about the same crew.

What the work looks like

A shift runs from opening to closing, Monday through Saturday, with Sunday off at every service center. The bay work is oil and filter changes on cars, SUVs, pickups and work vans, chassis lubrication, engine and cabin air filters, wiper blades and bulbs, fluid services such as transmission, coolant, differential and power steering, A/C service and, at the Reno service centers, Nevada smog checks. Every car gets the multi-point check, so a technician learns quickly how to read a dipstick, a filter, a belt and a tire, and how to say what they see without pushing.

You will work under the car in the pit and over it under the hood, on your feet, outdoors in Reno summers and winters, with a small crew that shares every job. The reviews mention technicians calling customers about a forgotten water bottle and remembering a regular's dog. That is the standard.

Who we are looking for

New hires train alongside experienced technicians at the service center that hires them.

• People who show up on time and finish what they start
• Clear talkers who can explain a filter or a fluid to someone who knows nothing about cars
• A valid driver's license, since the job includes moving customer vehicles
• Comfort with physical work in heat, cold and weather
• Experience in a lube shop, tire shop or dealership service lane is a plus, not a requirement
