Full time apprenticeship · Open to all levels (1st year through to later-stage)
About the role
Want to get paid to learn a trade? The Garage in Miami is looking for an apprentice light vehicle mechanic to join our workshop. You'll earn a nationally recognised Certificate III in Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology while working hands-on every day alongside experienced mechanics — no classroom-only theory, real cars from day one.
We're open to school leavers starting their 1st year, apprentices part-way through looking for a better workshop, and mature-age applicants ready for a career change. If you've got the right attitude, we'll teach you the rest.
What you'll be learning and doing
General servicing and repairs — log book services, brakes, cooling systems and general mechanical work across all makes and models
Tyres, suspension and steering — fitting and balancing, wheel alignments, suspension diagnosis and repair
Keeping the workshop protected, clean and organised
Working with our team and TAFE/RTO trainers to complete your Certificate III
What we're looking for
A current driver's licence
Your own reliable transport to get to the workshop
Genuine interest in cars and a willingness to learn
Reliability — show up on time, ready to have a go
No experience required — attitude and work ethic matter more than your resume
What you'll get
Award apprentice wages under the Vehicle Repair, Services and Retail Award, increasing each year as you progress
A nationally recognised trade qualification (Certificate III in Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology)
Hands-on mentoring from qualified mechanics in a supportive local workshop
Variety — independent workshop means you'll work on everything, not just one brand
