Job description

Tired of giving up your Saturdays to hit corporate main-dealer targets that only benefit the boardroom?

It is time to get your weekends back and work somewhere that actually values your skills.

We are hiring a Vehicle Technician / Car Mechanic to join our clean, modern, family-run independent team in Melksham. This isn't just a basic servicing role—you will get stuck into high-level mechanical repairs, vehicle remapping, and advanced fault-finding using top-tier industry equipment. If you want a role that respects your technical expertise, reviews your pay twice a year, and guarantees your weekend freedom, we want to hear from you.

What's in It for You?

  • The Pay: £30,000 – £40,000 per year basic, with official salary reviews every 6 months to match your growing skills.
  • Guaranteed Weekends Off: Monday to Friday, 08:00 – 17:00—enjoy your evenings and complete weekend freedom with strictly no Saturday shifts.
  • The Bonus: Highly rewarding, competitive workshop performance bonus scheme and optional overtime opportunities.
  • Paid Training: Ongoing technical development support and fully funded advanced industry training courses to future-proof your career.
  • The Perks: Premium workwear provided, modern tablet-based diagnostic software, paid holidays, and free on-site parking.

Who We Are

Operating as a well-established and highly rated independent service and repair specialist near Melksham, we focus on engineering quality, high-tech investment, and honest customer care. Forget high-pressure, target-driven corporate environments; our facility is equipped with modern diagnostic laptops, specialist tools, and advanced tech to make your job easier. We pride ourselves on being a stable, innovative, and friendly business where every technician has a voice and is genuinely valued.

Your Day-to-Day

Working as a core member of our Melksham workshop, you will:

  • Take on full engine work, routine vehicle servicing, braking, steering, suspension, and general mechanical maintenance.
  • Lead on fault-finding, tuning, and vehicle remapping using specialist on-site multi-brand diagnostic equipment.
  • Manage complex mechanical and electrical diagnostic resolutions from start to finish as a Diagnostic Specialist.
  • Use tablet-based garage management systems to update job cards, log parts, and maintain an organized workshop workflow.

What You Bring to the Table

  • The Credentials: Level 2 or Level 3 Light Vehicle Maintenance & Repair qualification (NVQ / City & Guilds or equivalent time-served workshop experience).
  • The Experience: Proven track record working as a Vehicle Technician or Car Mechanic in a professional garage setting.
  • The Mindset: Comfortable using modern diagnostic software, digital job cards, and maintaining excellent quality standards with your own tools.
  • The Basics: A full UK driving licence is essential. Having an active MOT Tester licence is always a great bonus!

Location & Commute

Our workshop facility is based in Melksham and is perfectly situated for an easy, straightforward daily commute from Trowbridge, Chippenham, Bath, Devizes, Corsham, Calne, and the surrounding Wiltshire areas.
