Their primary duties include changing oil, inspecting vehicle fluid levels, replacing air filters, and rotating tires. They also inspect vehicles for potential problems and perform other preventive maintenance tasks. Lube Technicians can work in auto repair shops, car dealerships, and quick lube shops. They are often the first line of defense in maintaining a vehicle's health and longevity, providing invaluable services to vehicle owners and the automotive industry as a whole.
