Automotive Shop Porter

Renaissance Motors, LLC, Slidell, LA, United States


The Swiss Army Knife Position (AKA: Not Glamorous, But Essential)

Let's set expectations: This job includes cleaning bathrooms, organizing the shop, and yessometimes mopping up oil spills. It's not all test drives and high-fives. If you've got basic car knowledge, aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves, and want to actually learn the business from the ground upkeep reading. What The Job Actually Looks Like The Foundation Stuff: Keep the shop clean and organized (techs can't be productive in chaos) Clean lobby and bathrooms (someone's gotta do it) Handle scrap metal and trash (exciting, we know) Organize parts for technicians The Skills-Building Stuff: Quality control test drives after repairs (you'll learn what "right" sounds like) Help techs when they need an extra hand (this is where you learn) Put parts in the right place at the right time (flow matters) The Customer Experience Stuff Answer phones and help check in vehicles as needed Think of yourself as the person who keeps everything running smoothly while learning what it takes to move up. Who Thrives In This Role You have basic automotive knowledge (you know a brake rotor from a serpentine belt) You understand that clean shops = productive shops = everyone makes more money You're a self-starter who doesn't need constant direction You're good with customers when the situation calls for it You want to LEARN and ADVANCE Physical work doesn't scare you (lifting, bending, standing all day) You can start this week This job is perfect for: Current lube techs, high school automotive students, quick lube workers, or car enthusiasts ready to level up in a real independent shop. This job is NOT for: People expecting a purely customer-facing role, folks with zero automotive experience, or anyone "too good" for grunt work. What We Offer Competitive pay M-F, 7:45 AM - 5:00 PM (Your weekends are yours) PTO and paid holidays Opportunity to advance based on what you put in Learn from experienced techs in a shop that actually stays busy The Bottom Line We need someone who gets it: every job matters. The clean shop that keeps techs moving? That's you. The QC that catches an issue before the customer does? Also you. Do the work. Learn the business. Prove yourself. Move up.
