- Good organisation and the ability to manage a busy workload
- Confidence dealing with customers in a professional way
- Automotive or mechanical knowledge would be an advantage
- A positive attitude and willingness to learn

- A modern, professional independent garage environment
- Varied day-to-day work in a busy role
