At automotive dealerships, attendants receive the cars as they are delivered to the lot. They verify that the proper cars were delivered by checking the car number against the invoice. Attendants drive the cars onto the lot and inspect them for damage. They also check that all the accessories, such as the radio and spare tire, are present. They record any damages or missing items on the delivery receipt.
Attendants assign stock control numbers to cars as well as catalog and store keys.
As cars are moved for test-drives or sales, attendants move cars to maximize the parking space. Parking Lot Attendants is in the Personal and Commercial Services Career Cluster. They usually work 40 hours a week, which may include weekends and holidays. Attendants may work nights since many lots are open 24 hours. Some parking lot attendants are hired to work only special events, such as concerts.
