Operating out of a state-of-the-art facility equipped entirely to main dealer standards, Jack Henry Group is a long-established, premium service centre with an enviable reputation for quality and technical excellence.

Why This Position Is Different
- Unrivalled Fleet Variety: Keep your days exciting and your skills incredibly sharp. One day you might be servicing a standard daily hatchback, and the next you'll be troubleshooting advanced diagnostic systems on a supercar.
- Supportive Independent Culture: Benefit from the high-tech capabilities of a main dealer combined with the flexibility, warm culture, and complete lack of corporate micromanagement that only an elite independent group can offer.
- Craftsmanship Over Speed: We prioritize technical integrity and doing the job right the first time over forcing you through a chaotic corporate conveyor belt.
