We want to keep that in the hands of every rider who walks in our doors, so we hire people who don't just write up repair orders but live the lifestyle: riders who know the difference a well-running bike makes to someone's soul and treat every customer like family, backed by real training and a culture that sees you for who you are and rewards hard work. We're looking for a Parts and Labor Specialist (Service Advisor) at Harley-Davidson of Indianapolis ready to turn that passion into a career, guiding riders from the moment they pull into our service department to the moment they roll back out on a Harley-Davidson that runs the way it was meant to.

Tips for Your Parts Specialist Job Search
Tailor your resume to parts systems
List every parts management or inventory software you've used by name, whether dealer management systems, electronic parts catalogs, or ERP platforms. Hiring managers screen for these specifically and generic terms like 'inventory software' won't surface your resume.
Get your parts certifications in order
Certifications from manufacturers or industry associations carry real weight in parts specialist hiring. If you've completed OEM-specific training programs for a major brand, name each one on your resume. Uncertified candidates lose ground to certified ones at the same experience level.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists parts specialist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target job titles beyond 'parts specialist'
Many identical roles are posted as parts advisor, parts counter associate, parts consultant, or parts coordinator depending on the employer. Search all these variants when looking for openings, or you'll miss a significant portion of relevant postings.
Prepare for catalog and lookup walk-throughs
Interviewers for parts roles often ask you to demonstrate how you'd locate a part number for a specific application using an electronic catalog. Practice walking through a lookup out loud before your interview so you can explain your process clearly under pressure.
Negotiate using parts-specific comp data
When discussing pay, anchor your ask in the specific segment you're targeting, since dealership parts roles, heavy equipment, and industrial distribution each have distinct pay structures. Know which segment you're in before you name a number.
