About The Business

We are a highly successful, rapidly growing family‑run independent garage group with a massive reputation built on over 100 five-star reviews. Operating across three thriving, modern sites, we provide the rock‑solid financial stability and career progression of an established automotive group, while strictly maintaining the supportive culture of a real family business.

Here, the directors know exactly who you are, your hard work as a technician or mechanic is actively recognized, and we treat our workshop team as the genuine technical experts they are.

The Perks

• Up to £45,000 Secure Basic: High basic salary package with clear annual pay reviews.

Why This Position Is Different

• Multi‑Site Stability, Family Feel: You get the best of both worlds—the job security of a successful 3‑site group, without losing the flexible, friendly culture of a local family garage.
• Zero Corporate Stress: We reject the exhausting, target‑driven corporate culture. We prioritize precision craftsmanship over rushing through high‑volume tasks.
• Diverse Workload: Say goodbye to single‑brand monotony. You’ll work on a massive variety of different makes and models every day, keeping your skills sharp and engaging.

What You'll Be Doing

• Carrying out routine servicing, mechanical maintenance, and major component repairs on a diverse range of vehicles.
• Finding and fixing mechanical and electrical faults using modern, dealer‑level diagnostic equipment.
• Preparing vehicles for MOT testing and executing essential compliance repairs.
• Maintaining a clean, safe workspace and collaborating with a supportive service team.

Are You The One? (Requirements)

• Qualifications: Level 2 or Level 3 qualified Vehicle Technician or Mechanic (NVQ, City & Guilds, or equivalent portfolio of experience).
• Skills: Confident with multi‑brand servicing, major component swaps (clutches, suspension, timing belts, etc.), and standard fault‑finding.
• Must hold a full UK driving licence.
• A current DVSA MOT Tester licence is a great advantage, but absolutely not essential.
