About Profile

This candidate is a fully qualified Level 3 Vehicle Technician and MOT Tester with more than 10 years of hands-on workshop experience across main dealer, independent and specialist automotive environments. They are particularly strong with heavier mechanical repairs and diagnostics and are known for maintaining excellent productivity levels within busy workshops.

Their day-to-day work includes complex repairs such as engine replacements, timing chains, balance shaft repairs, gearbox work and clutch replacement alongside advanced fault diagnosis and MOT testing. They are confident carrying out both mechanical and diagnostic work efficiently while maintaining high workmanship standards and strong first-time fix performance.

Technically driven, they have invested heavily in their own development, personally funding additional training courses including DSG and automatic gearbox systems, air conditioning certification and advanced repair training. They are now keen to continue progressing further, particularly within electric and hybrid vehicle technology.

Alongside dealership experience, they have also worked within motorsport environments supporting race vehicle preparation and setup, giving them strong attention to detail and a performance-focused mindset. Reliable and hardworking, they are used to working longer hours where required and are motivated by productivity and bonus potential.
