About Profile

This candidate is a fully qualified Level 3 Vehicle Technician with a strong background in diagnostics, MOT testing and main dealer workshop environments. They have built long-term experience across both volume and manufacturer-led dealerships, developing into a Hyundai Senior Diagnostic Technician through ongoing manufacturer training and technical progression.

Having achieved Hyundai expert-level certification, they are confident working on complex faults and using manufacturer systems to diagnose and repair vehicles efficiently to brand standards.

Alongside diagnostics, they also hold MOT testing qualifications and have previous experience working across light commercial vehicles and heavier fleet vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes.
