Job description

Looking to step away from main-dealer targets while continuing to work with premier automotive brands? We are hiring now!

Join our highly respected, third-generation family-run workshop team in Caversham, Reading. Operating for over 40 years as Berkshire's leading independent specialist for premium German brands and luxury vehicles, we provide a clean, modern, and high-tech workspace where your expertise is truly valued and your work-life balance is guaranteed.

The Rewards

  • Salary: £35,000 – £40,000 per year (Positioned right within our standard bracket depending on experience and qualification level).
  • Schedule: Monday to Friday, 08:00 – 17:30—enjoy stable weekday hours with strictly no weekend shifts.
  • Environment: A highly organized, supportive, and non-corporate family atmosphere with a long-standing local reputation.
  • Tooling & Systems: Daily access to specialized premium diagnostic software, modern multi-brand systems, and advanced workshop tech.
  • Perks: Free on-site parking, premium workwear provided, secure company pension scheme, and a friendly team culture.

About Us

Based in Caversham, Reading, we are a premier specialist independent service and repair centre recognized for delivering dealership-standard workmanship alongside personal, honest customer care. Forget the high-pressure, target-driven corporate environments of modern franchise networks; our workshop facility is heavily invested in dedicated equipment tailored specifically for premium German brand passenger cars. We pride ourselves on being a stable, innovative, and friendly business where every team member is genuinely appreciated.

Your Role

As a vital Vehicle Technician / Car Mechanic in our busy Reading workshop, you will:

  • Carry out routine vehicle servicing, scheduled maintenance, and digital service book updates to strict standards.
  • Complete high-quality mechanical repairs, including braking systems, steering, advanced suspension work, and engine maintenance.
  • Utilize specialized brand diagnostic systems to efficiently investigate, troubleshoot, and rectify complex electrical and mechanical faults.
  • Deliver high-quality "first-time fix" results while operating productively alongside a close-knit technical team.

What You Need

  • Qualifications: Minimum Level 2 or Level 3 Light Vehicle Maintenance & Repair (NVQ / City & Guilds or equivalent time-served experience). F-Gas certification is preferred (or an interest in obtaining it).
  • Experience: Proven track record working as a Vehicle Technician or Car Mechanic (hands-on experience with premium German brands like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, or VW is highly desirable).
  • Licensing: A full UK driving licence is required. An active MOT Tester licence is preferred but not essential.
  • Equipment: Must possess your own hand tools to carry out daily repair and servicing tasks effectively.
  • Key Strengths: Dedicated work ethic, strong diagnostic problem-solving skills, and great attention to detail.

Location & Search Reach

Based in Caversham, Reading, our modern facility offers a quick, straightforward daily commute for candidates travelling from Henley-on-Thames, Wokingham, Bracknell, Woodley, Tilehurst, Calcot, Twyford, and surrounding Berkshire and Oxfordshire areas.

Ready to join a premier independent garage that respects your expertise, prioritizes its staff, and protects your weekends?
