We’re looking for an experienced automotive diagnostic specialist to support dealerships and repairers with complex vehicle issues.
You’ll be the escalation point when others can’t fix it — helping reduce downtime and deliver first-time-right repairs.
What you’ll do
- Serve as the first point of contact for repair requests and technical questions from technicians.
- Provide technical support and remote guidance, using diagnostic best practices and OEM procedures.
- Communicate directly with technicians in the local language to clarify concerns, gather symptoms and DTCs, and validate the steps taken.
- Perform the initial triage, document cases thoroughly, and determine the resolution path or escalation criteria.
- Escalate unresolved or complex cases to Level 2 support with complete, structured case information.
- Adhere to established process standards, SLAs, and data quality requirements in all interactions and tools.
- Support and guide repairs for OTA updates and basic troubleshooting for software updates.
- Accurately record case notes, solutions, and knowledge artifacts, maintaining them to improve first-repair rates.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to share recurring issues, trends, and improvement opportunities.
- Contribute to continuous improvement by following standardized workflows and proposing process improvements.
