We're a friendly, supportive team with a genuine family-business feel, working with some of the UK's largest fleet and insurance companies.
Most of the vehicles we repair are under seven years old, giving you the opportunity to work on a wide variety of modern makes and models without the repetitive routine servicing found in many workshops.
If you're looking for a role where your diagnostic skills are valued and every day brings something different, we'd love to hear from you.

- Working closely with the Workshop Manager and Sales Team to provide technical information and accurate fault diagnosis.
- Maintaining high standards of workmanship while following Health & Safety procedures at all times.
