Job description

Are you a skilled mechanic looking to escape high-pressure main dealer targets while still working at the highest technical level? We are hiring now!

Join our premier independent workshop team in Guildford. With over 25 years of specialized industry expertise, we operate as the leading independent VAG specialist and authorized performance tuning centre in Surrey. We offer an exceptional alternative to the corporate network—combining advanced factory-level diagnostics with a dedicated, passion-driven workshop culture.

The Rewards

  • Salary: £40,000 – £50,000 per year (Positioned right at the top of the independent market based on your specialist VAG experience).
  • Schedule: Monday to Friday, 07:30 – 17:30—stable weekday hours with strictly no weekend shifts.
  • Overtime: Highly lucrative, completely optional overtime pathways available to boost your earnings further.
  • Perks: Paid holidays, premium workwear provided, secure company pension, free on-site parking, and a supportive team culture.
  • Advanced Tech: Work in a clean, spacious environment with full access to genuine VAG factory equipment, online diagnostic software, and cutting-edge engine tuning technology.

About Us

Based in Guildford, we are a trusted independent specialist workshop dedicated exclusively to the service, diagnostic, and performance optimization of Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, and Skoda vehicles. We utilize factory-level diagnostic software and provide online digital service book updates to protect manufacturer warranties. We pride ourselves on clear customer communication, exceptional mechanical precision, and a close-knit, highly knowledgeable team atmosphere that rejects high-volume dealership pressure.

Your Role

As a vital Vehicle Technician / VAG Specialist in our busy Guildford workshop, you will:

  • Carry out specialized routine vehicle servicing, timing chains, cambelts, and safety maintenance to strict manufacturer standards.
  • Use factory-level online diagnostic systems to efficiently troubleshoot, isolate, and rectify complex electrical and mechanical repairs.
  • Complete premium mechanical repairs, including braking configurations, advanced suspension setups, and drivetrain maintenance.
  • Support high-performance tuning modifications and remapping projects as an authorized performance specialist team member.
  • Maintain clean digital job cards, handle equipment with high care, and collaborate closely with our senior technical team.

What You Need

  • Qualifications: Industry-recognized automotive certifications (NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds, or equivalent time-served experience).
  • Experience: Strong technical background working as a Vehicle Technician or Car Mechanic, with hands-on, deep familiarity with VAG group platforms (VW, Audi, Seat, or Skoda).
  • Equipment: You must have your own tools to carry out daily repair, diagnostic, and servicing tasks.
  • Key Strengths: Strong diagnostic problem-solving skills, an eye for mechanical precision, and a genuine interest in premium vehicle brands and performance tuning.
  • Licensing: A full UK driving licence is required (an active MOT Tester licence is a great benefit).

Location & Search Reach

Our modern specialist facility is located in Guildford, making it a fast, straightforward daily commute for anyone travelling from Woking, Aldershot, Farnham, Godalming, Cranleigh, Leatherhead, Bracknell, and the surrounding Surrey and Hampshire areas.
