JOB DESCRIPTION

Westbourne operates a fleet of fully equipped service vehicles across its working area.

You will be provided with a fully equipped roadside vehicle capable of a wide range of roadside repairs. Vehicles are fitted with the latest diagnostic equipment to quickly identify faults on a wide range of cars and light commercial vehicles.

Service vans are fitted with towing equipment capable of recovering the majority of motor vehicles either to a repair workshop or to the customers chosen destination.

The aim of a Westbourne Technician is to safely repair as many vehicles as possible at the roadside. The ethos of Westbourne is to repair more cars than its competitors.

Roadside Vehicle breakdown encompasses breakdowns either at the customers home address or at any location within the UK.

The first priority of the technician is always the care and safety of any customers present with the vehicle.

Depending on workloads and call times technicians may be asked to carry out further basic repairs to these vehicles in the workshops.

In addition to the repair of vehicles, a roadside technician (where equipped with a suitable vehicle) will recover non repairable vehicles. Recovery use of roadside technicians is normally limited to more local recovery (within 60 miles), with long distance recovery carried out by dedicated recovery drivers.
