Workshop Technician

STOP Settling for "Just a Job"

Automotive Technician Wanted at Garage Pro Automotive

Let's be honest... You didn't train for years and build your skills just to be treated like a number. You didn't invest in your own tools to be undervalued. And you definitely didn't fall in love with fixing cars to spend your days being micromanaged or watching cowboys bodge jobs.

Sound familiar?

If you're tired of being paid flat rate when the work dries up, chasing "promised" bonuses that never materialise, working with substandard equipment that makes your job harder, not being listened to when you spot issues, and watching less skilled techs get the same pay, then it's time we talked.

What Makes Garage Pro Automotive Different?

We Pay What You're Worth. That's it

Not what the industry "standard" says. Not what we can get away with. What you're actually worth based on your skills, experience, and what you bring to the team. When you grow, your wages grow. Simple as that.

The Role

We're looking for a skilled automotive technician who takes pride in their work. We're a German specialist garage, but we never turn a job away, so you'll get experience across a wide range of vehicles. Whether you're a diagnostic wizard, an MOT ace, or a service specialist, if you know your way around modern vehicles and treat every job like it's your own car, we want to hear from you.

You'll be working on a varied mix of vehicles (no two days the same), trusted to diagnose and repair to the highest standards, given proper time to do the job right (not rushed through), and part of a team that actually has each other's backs.

What We're Looking For

We need someone with proven experience as an automotive technician, your own tools (we'll ensure you have what you need beyond that), someone who genuinely cares about quality work, good communication skills with customers and the team, and a valid UK driving licence.

It would be great if you have diagnostic experience with modern vehicle systems, MOT testing qualification (or willingness to train), or manufacturer training and certifications, but these aren't deal breakers if you've got the right attitude and skills.

What You Actually Get (Not Just Empty Promises)

You'll receive a competitive salary based on your experience and skills (let's talk numbers), quality equipment because working with rubbish tools is soul-destroying, ongoing training since technology changes and we'll make sure you're up to date, proper work-life balance because you have a life outside the workshop, a team culture where your opinion matters and experience is respected, and no cowboys because we do it right or not at all.

Ready for a Change?

If you're a skilled technician who's tired of being undervalued, underutilised, or just plain fed up with where you are, let's talk. Even if you're "not actively looking," have a conversation with us. What have you got to lose besides another day doing the same old thing?
