About Profile

This candidate is a fully qualified Level 3 Vehicle Technician and MOT Tester with a strong background across prestige main dealer and independent specialist workshop environments. Their experience includes working with premium manufacturers, developing excellent technical knowledge across servicing, diagnostics, mechanical repairs and modern vehicle technology.

Currently working within a prestige main dealer workshop, they carry out routine servicing, fault diagnosis, manufacturer recalls and more involved mechanical repairs. Their day-to-day responsibilities include diagnosing electrical and suspension faults, completing Vehicle Health Checks, carrying out four-wheel alignment and ensuring all work meets manufacturer standards.

They have gained particularly strong experience working with German manufacturers, including BMW, Audi and the wider Volkswagen Group. Their background includes working within a specialist VAG workshop, giving them practical experience across clutch and gearbox replacements, electrical fault finding, suspension repairs and general mechanical maintenance.

A particular strength is their ability to work across a wide range of vehicle makes and models. Alongside their main dealer experience, they have worked within multi-franchise environments carrying out PDI inspections, used vehicle preparation, cambelt replacements, braking system repairs and general servicing. They have also gained experience working on electric vehicles, including servicing, diagnostics and component replacement.

They hold an IMI Level 3 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair alongside Class 4 and 7 MOT Tester qualifications. Their combination of manufacturer experience, technical knowledge and MOT testing ability makes them a versatile addition to a busy automotive workshop.

They are now looking for a long-term Vehicle Technician opportunity closer to home, ideally within a professional main dealer or specialist workshop where they can continue developing their diagnostic and mechanical skills.
