We specialize in high-quality vehicle servicing and premium retail stock preparation, offering a modern, clean, and spacious workshop.

About Us

Based in Stonehouse, we are a premier independent service and sales specialist known for delivering excellent workmanship and honest customer care. We reject the rigid corporate politics and high-pressure targets of main dealerships. Instead, we have built a technician‑first environment where engineering quality is valued over rushing cars through the bays, giving you a massive variety of premium passenger vehicles to keep your day fresh and engaging.

Your Role

As a vital Vehicle Technician / Car Mechanic in our Stonehouse workshop, you will:

• Carry out routine vehicle servicing, multi-point safety inspections, braking overhauls, and general mechanical repairs.
• Complete thorough, bumper-to-bumper preventative maintenance and preparation to ensure all retail vehicles meet our strict standards before handover.
• Use modern diagnostic tools and software to systematically troubleshoot and resolve complex technical, electrical, and mechanical faults.
• Maintain clean, methodical, and high-quality "first-time fix" standards across a highly diverse mix of vehicle makes and models.
• Collaborate closely with a skilled team of motor mechanics to maintain a safe, smooth, and friendly workshop flow.

What You Need

• Qualifications & Experience: Proven track record working as a Vehicle Technician, Car Mechanic, or Service Technician in a professional garage setting with strong general repair and diagnostic knowledge. Time-served technicians are highly considered alongside formal qualifications. F-Gas certification is preferred (or an interest in obtaining it).
• Licensing: A full, valid UK driving licence is essential. An active MOT Tester licence is preferred but not required.
• Equipment: Must possess your own hand tools to manage daily repair and diagnostic tasks effectively.
• Key Strengths: A reliable, self-motivated professional with great attention to detail, a strong work ethic, and a positive team-player attitude.
