Lube Technician

An automotive lube tech's job description includes doing basic car maintenance work and small repairs.

Rather than handling complex issues, a lube tech performs oil and filter changes, checks that tires are inflated correctly, replenishes vehicle fluids and lubricates joints and fittings as needed.

Other lube tech duties can include cleaning a vehicle's interior, replacing wiper blades, installing car batteries and performing tire rotations. This work requires good dexterity to use tools and requires a lot of standing and bending to work on vehicles.

The garage environment presents risks that can lead to cuts, strains, and other injuries, so attention to detail and a focus on safety are crucial for lube techs.
