About the Role: Tire Installer

As a Tire Installer at Costco Gatineau, you’ll be responsible for the complete tire service process — from driving member vehicles into the install bay and performing tire mounting, balancing, and rotation, to resetting TPMS sensors and completing flat tire repairs in accordance with Tire Industry Standards. You’ll work with equipment like impact guns, wheel balancers, and hydraulic hoists, following strict safety protocols including American Lift Institute and TIA R.I.S.T. standards.

Beyond the technical side, this role also involves direct member-facing responsibilities — answering questions, making tire recommendations using the 5 steps of selling, providing price quotes, creating service invoices, and processing payments accurately. Teamwork, communication, and working in an efficient, urgent manner throughout the day are all essential to success in this position. This is a bilingual location in Quebec, so candidates must be able to communicate in both French and English (oral and written).
