Job Description
"No Saturdays. No drama. Just positive old-fashioned spannering."
n
Location: Croydon
n
Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00am–5:30pm
n
Tired of being told "it's only a quick job"?
n
We're working with a well-established family-run automotive business in Croydon that is looking for an experienced Vehicle Service Technician to join its friendly workshop team.
n
With just five technicians in the workshop, you won't be lost in a sea of job cards — and you'll have your own workshop and working area to get on with the job properly.
n
There are no Saturday shifts. Ever.
n
Yes, you read that correctly. Your weekends are actually yours.
n
The Role
n
This is a hands‐on technician role focused primarily on servicing, maintenance and general mechanical repairs across a wide range of vehicle brands.
n
You'll be carrying out:
n
n
Routine servicing and maintenance
n
Comprehensive Vehicle Health Checks using a tablet
n
Brake disc and pad replacements
n
Brake fluid replacement and correct bleeding procedures
n
Service light and interval resets
n
General vehicle safety inspections
n
Suspension work
n
Clutch and gearbox work where required
n
Other general mechanical repairs and maintenance
n
n
The role has a low diagnostic requirement, with minimal vehicle disassembly and no expectation that you'll be rebuilding engines before your morning coffee.
n
There are no regular engine rebuilds or complex engine repairs — this is a role focused on quality servicing, maintenance and mechanical work.
n
What We're Looking For
n
We're looking for an experienced technician who knows their way around a vehicle and doesn't need the Haynes manual to tell them which end of the car is which.
n
You'll need:
n
n
Minimum 5 years' experience as a Vehicle Technician
n
Level 2 NVQ,



IMI or equivalent qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance & Repair, or manufacturer-specific accreditation
n
Confidence carrying out Vehicle Health Checks and routine servicing independently
n
Experience resetting service lights and service intervals
n
A full UK driving licence
n
n
Experience with these brands?
n
n
Mercedes-Benz
n
Jaguar Land Rover
n
n
Experience using manufacturer diagnostic equipment such as Xentry, TOPIx, ODIS or ISTA would also be advantageous.
n
An MOT Licence would be great, but it's not essential.
n
What You'll Get
n
Because a decent technician should get more than just a decent set of tools.
n
n
Free local parking
n
Free MOT for your primary vehicle
n
Discounted parts at cost price/main dealer discount
n
Closed over Christmas/New Year, using just 3 days of annual leave
n
Internal training and development
n
Support with external training courses if you want to keep developing
n
A genuine work‐life balance
n
Great team culture
n
Unpaid leave considered where required
n
n
A Workshop Where You Can Actually Get On With the Job
n
This is a family-oriented business with a close-knit team and a straightforward approach.
n
You'll be working alongside just four other technicians, with your own working area and the support of an experienced team.
n
There's no Saturday scramble, no endless pressure to upsell work and no expectation that every fault code requires a three-hour investigation involving a laptop, three coffees and a call to the manufacturer.
n
It's a proper technician role, in a proper workshop, with proper time off.
n
If you're an experienced Vehicle Technician looking for a long‐term role where you can do good work, develop your skills and still have a life outside the workshop, we'd like to hear from you.
