Opportunities in Motorcycle Repair

As a trained, experienced professionals who can demonstrate the right skills and knowledge, you should be able to pursue many exciting and respected career options.

Line Technician

Motorcycle mechanics may begin as line technicians, starting at the apprentice level. Line technicians in a garage or repair shop may do diagnostics, repair work, tune-ups, warranty service, overhauls and other special as well as routine maintenance.

Assembler

Motorcycles usually are shipped “knocked down” and then put together by assemblers, who perform a test drive, make necessary adjustments and do final detailing. Broad-based know-how is an asset—if not a “must.”

Service Writer

Service writers diagnose problems and evaluate needs in terms both the mechanics and the customers can understand. They may create work orders, assign technicians and keep the customer up to date on work in progress.

Service Manager

These managers are responsible for overall service operations. A service manager's tasks could include supervising technicians, promoting the dealership and it's service shop to customers, administering shop policies or maintaining a high level of service and quality control. Service managers must balance customer demands with dealership goals. That includes “internal” goals such as maintaining the respect, cooperation and effectiveness of employees

Parts Manager

A shop's service reputation suffers when customers have to wait needlessly for out-of-stock parts. The parts manager makes sure adequate inventory is available—without overstocking or filling space with rarely used parts—and works closely with service personnel to handle special orders as needed to avoid delays. Parts managers may work for dealership service centers, parts retail stores, manufacturers and distributors.

Warranty Clerk

In larger operations such as dealerships, specialists may be dedicated primarily to warranty compliance. These clerks maintain the documentation for warranty and regular repair work and are responsible for adjustments for repairs made under warranty.

Dealership Salesperson
