May's Fleet Sales & Service | Syracuse, NY.
Tired of flat-rate pressure, weekend shifts, and retail shop chaos? Your diagnostic skills are worth more than you think—and they're exactly what we need. May's Fleet Sales & Service is actively recruiting automotive technicians ready to transition into diesel work. We'll help you build on what you already know and advance your career into a more stable, respected field.
Why Automotive Techs Thrive in Diesel?
Your mechanical foundation is solid. Your diagnostic mindset is sharp. Your attention to detail is proven. Those skills don't disappear when the vehicle gets bigger—they become more valuable. What changes is the equipment, the systems, and frankly, the entire work environment. Here's what diesel work offers that automotive retail doesn't:
- No Flat Rate, No Stress. You're paid hourly. Your paycheck doesn't depend on flagging phantom hours or racing against the clock. You get paid for the work you do, the way it should be.
- No Retail Headaches. You work directly with fleet customers—regional operators who value reliability and expertise. No walk-in customers, no service advisors playing telephone, no impatient clients waiting in the lounge. Just real problems that need real solutions.
- Your Life Back. Monday through Friday, first shift, every single week. No weekend rotations. No on-call stress. Your evenings and weekends are yours—permanently.
- Work That Challenges You. Class 3–8 commercial trucks across multiple makes and applications. The variety keeps you sharp. The problems keep you thinking. This is the kind of diagnostic work that builds a reputation.
- Two Paths Forward.
Experienced Diesel Technicians: $30–$45/hour
If you bring substantial diesel experience or advanced automotive diagnostic skills, we'll compensate you from day one. You'll work with full autonomy in a shop that respects your expertise and doesn't second-guess your decisions.
Automotive Technicians Transitioning to Diesel: $30–$35/hour, with Clear Growth
You're solid at what you do now. You're ready for the next chapter. We'll invest in your diesel specialization with hands-on training, mentorship from experienced diesel techs, and ASE certification reimbursement. Your pay grows as your skills advance. This is a real career path with a defined trajectory—not a dead end.
What You Get:
- Schedule that works: Monday–Friday, first shift only. No exceptions, no surprises.
- Full benefits package: Health, dental, and vision insurance (50% employer paid).
- Professional growth: ASE certification reimbursement + ongoing diesel training.
- Financial security: Company-matched retirement plan (up to 3%).
- Work environment: Clean, heated, modern 13-bay facility with quality tools.
- Boot allowance for the work you do.
- A team that notices you: Small shop where your contributions matter and your expertise is respected.
Why May's is Different?
We're an independent shop, not a national chain. We've been serving Central New York's commercial fleet customers for over 25 years—built on reputation, not volume. Our team is tight-knit. We take pride in doing the job right, and we treat our technicians accordingly. When you work here, you're not a ticket number or a labor hour. You're a valued professional in a shop that genuinely values your work.
If You've Been Thinking About a Change...
Whether it's the schedule, the work environment, the pace, or the kinds of problems you want to solve—this might be exactly the right move. We're ready to invest in you, and we're ready to show you what respect for technicians actually looks like.
