Description

We’re Growing — and We Have More Work Than We Can Handle

Lum’s GMC is looking for an experienced A or B+ Level Automotive Service Technician who’s ready for steady work, strong support, and a team that treats you like family.

We’re not corporate — we’re The Lum Family of Dealerships, locally owned and rooted in our community. Our service department is thriving and has more tech hours than we can keep up with, which means there’s plenty of work to keep you busy and earning.

If you want a fun, professional environment where communication is direct, teamwork is strong, and everyone works toward success — this is it.

Why McMinnville?

Set in Oregon’s beautiful Willamette Valley, McMinnville offers small-town charm with big-time perks — award-winning wineries, a lively downtown, and quick access to both Portland and the Oregon Coast. It’s a great place to grow your career and your roots.
