Send the form on this page with your name, phone, email and a resume if you have one, and the service center you choose will call you. ★★★★★ 4.7 stars from 952 Google reviews 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. ## At a glance - Four service centers, closed Sundays - Trained in-house, no prior lube experience required - Drive-in bays, service while the customer waits - Locally owned since 1983 ## 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 ## How to apply - Fill in the form below with your first and last name, email and phone, and attach a resume if you have one. - Pick the service center you want to work at: Mae Anne Avenue or Longley Lane in Reno, College Parkway in Carson City, or US 395 in Gardnerville. - The manager at that service center calls you to talk and, if it fits, invites you in to see the bay. - No form? Walk in during business hours and ask for the manager. the bays are open six days a week. If you want to see the job before you apply, drive in for an oil change today and watch the crew work. ### Sources - [xpresslubereno.com/careers](https://www.xpresslubereno.com/careers) (the company's own careers form: first name, last name, email, phone, resume; read 10/15/26) ### Related - [About](https://xpressoilandlube.com/about/) - [Locations](https://xpressoilandlube.com/locations/) ### Your service center: Reno Northwest - Call [(775) 787-1000](tel:+17757871000) Mon-Fri 8 am-5 pm, Sat 8 am-4 pm, Sun closed - Address 6100 Mae Anne Ave, Reno, NV 89523 [Directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=6100+Mae+Anne+Ave%2C+Reno%2C+NV+89523&destination_place_id=ChIJ3dFA7yBEmYARYg1CtQTi_Bk) ## What technicians earn here About 1,580 people work as automotive service technicians and mechanics across the Reno metro, and about 270 more in the Carson City metro, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (OEWS, May 2025). Across all employers in the Reno metro, the BLS median for automotive technicians was $24.13 an hour in May 2025, with the middle half earning between $20.94 and $34.03 (OEWS). In the Carson City metro the BLS median was $26.09 an hour (OEWS, May 2025). Washoe County alone had 304 private auto repair and maintenance businesses in 2025, according to BLS (QCEW). Training is in-house, so you do not need lube experience to start; the BLS figures above describe the trade across the region, not pay at any one shop.

Call your service center or drive in; there is no appointment to make. ### Do I need experience to apply? No. We train in-house. Experience in any service shop helps, and so does any mechanical background, but attitude and reliability matter more. ### Which service centers are hiring? Openings change through the year at all four service centers. Send the form and name the service center you want; if that one is full we will tell you which one has a spot. ### Are the jobs full time? Schedules run Monday through Saturday with Sunday off. Ask the manager at the service center about full-time and part-time openings. ### Is this a sales job? No. Technicians show the customer what the inspection found and the customer decides.
