Fully staffed, the shop is about 15 technicians across maintenance, service, and collision.
The shop is open Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm. Technician work schedule is Monday - Friday, 8:30am - 5pm. Technicians use the extra time in the morning getting prepped for the day, clean-up, setting up iPads, etc.
Lyft provides all tools for technicians. All tools needed for the jobs we ask you to do will be available. We have a dedicated tooling professional on our team that supports all locations and can process requests for new tools. Technicians do not cover any tooling costs at Lyft.
The shop has two break rooms. One has air-conditioning and includes a restroom. The larger break room has a kitchen area including a refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, and coffee maker. Both break rooms have tables and chairs Free snacks provided, like chips and beef jerky. The team can make specific requests for new snacks as well. Free drinks provided: coffee, water, soda.
The shop has two full service bays, one alignment rack, and five speed lifts for maintenance. We work in a "pit-crew" style setup, so bays are shared within the team — technicians are not assigned to one bay.
About 350 per month on service and maintenance, and growing. Although our shop is high-volume, our technicians are equally focused on quality and teamwork.
We can directly order parts using our parts advisor that works inside the shop. Most shops have very quick turnaround to receiving parts (less than an hour if parts are available.)

We will empower you to be a process-improver and make impact in your shop and far beyond.

Technicians can grow within their role, within their team, and beyond. Within role, we have internal certification pathways related to our standard operating procedures and goals. Within the team, technicians can be promoted or apply to more senior level positions as they become available. This includes leadership roles, and multiple shop managers at Lyft started as part of the technician team. Outside of their current team, technicians can pursue other career pathways at Lyft from operations to software engineering and anything in between! To get an idea of all the possible career pathways, check out lyft.com/careers.
Lyft has two official performance review cycles per year, one of which includes a compensation review for every employee in the company. Lyft is a pay-for-performance company and strong performance reviews can be reflected in compensation increases. Technicians meet with their manager at least bi-weekly to review their performance and work together on long and short term goals.
Daily safety training is part of our normal operating processes at our shops. Safety protocols are displayed prominently around the shop — safety is our top priority. Within our standard processes, we have a safety standards that evaluate how safely our technicians perform their work, and the safety of the vehicle once repairs are completed.
There are no limitations to how much time a technician can spend learning — our entry and mid level technicians usually spend 10+ hours a month doing hands-on mentorship with senior technicians, including time walking through uses of specified tools like diag scanners. Our Technical Trainer meets with our teams regularly to determine what new trainings are needed.
