Westernport Automotive Services – Hastings VIC

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Automotive Technician who takes pride in doing quality work, enjoys being part of a good team, and wants a role that offers a great long-term lifestyle.

This is a hands‑on position for someone who is confident across a wide range of makes, models and repairs. You’ll work on everything from general servicing and diagnostics through to clutches, timing belts, injectors and engine replacements.

Just as importantly, we’re looking for someone who cares about getting the job right and doing the right thing by the customer. We don’t believe in rushing work out the door, selling unnecessary repairs or cutting corners. We want customers to leave knowing their vehicle has been looked after properly and that they’ve received honest advice.

As one of the senior technicians in the workshop, you’ll also be someone the rest of the team can turn to for technical advice, second opinions and support when a difficult job comes through.

About us Westernport Automotive Services is a busy independent workshop in Hastings and part of the Repco Authorised Service network.

We have a large, established customer base, strong fleet relationships and a modern workshop servicing everything from everyday passenger vehicles through to commercial and emergency‑service vehicles.

Our reputation has been built on quality workmanship, honest advice and treating customers properly. We want people to feel comfortable trusting us with their vehicles, which means recommending what genuinely needs to be done, explaining things clearly and standing behind the work we perform.

We value experienced people, trust them to do their jobs and try to create an environment where people can enjoy coming to work, do work they’re proud of and still have a life outside the workshop.
