Job description

We are looking for a time-served Vehicle Technician / Mechanic / Service Technician to join our clean, modern garage in Newport. This isn't just a \"test-lane\" role—you will get stuck into high-level mechanical repairs and advanced diagnostics using the best equipment in the industry. Enjoy a Monday to Friday schedule with shorter hours than most garages.

Pay & Top Benefits

• Salary: £30,000 – £40,000 per year basic (Reviewed every 6 months to match your performance and skill development).
• MOT Bonus: Higher rate potential available for qualified MOT Testers.
• Shorter Hours: Monday to Friday, 08:00 – 16:30—work-life balance focus with strictly no weekend shifts.
• Environment: Supportive, organized, family-run atmosphere with Mastertech support available.
• Perks: Paid holidays, available overtime, workwear provided, diagnostic laptops, and AI-assisted support to make your job smoother.

About Us

Forget high-pressure corporate environments. Our Newport facility is a well-established, modern independent workshop highly rated on Google Reviews for our quality and trust. We invest heavily in technology, providing specialist tools, advanced software, and a stable, innovative business structure that prioritizes its staff over rigid corporate targets.

Your Role

As a key member of our Newport technical team, you will:

• Handle mechanical repairs, engine work, routine servicing, and general preventative maintenance.
• Lead on diagnostics, tuning, and remapping using specialist on-site tools and software.
• Manage MOT failure diagnosis and rectifications to get vehicles back on the road safely.
• Use tablet-based systems to manage digital job cards, update work logs, and upload photos.
• Maintain our high trust rating by clearly explaining technical issues when required.

What You Need

• Qualifications & Experience: Level 2 Motor Vehicle qualification required (Level 3 preferred). Time-served technical experience as a Vehicle Technician or Mechanic is highly considered. F-Gas certification is preferred (or an interest in obtaining it).
• Licensing: Full UK driving licence is essential. An active MOT Tester licence is strongly preferred but not required.
• Tech Savvy & Tools: Confident using diagnostic software and digital systems; must possess your own hand tools.
• Key Strengths: Reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently or as part of a close-knit team.
