About Us

Boasting a rich history of over 150 years, we are one of the most established automotive retail groups in the South of England. Operating a premier facility in Eastbourne, we specialize in taking promising technicians with 1 to 4 years of hands-on experience and fast-tracking their progression into certified VAG Master Technicians. We completely reject high-pressure, target-driven environments. Instead, we offer a clean, supportive workshop where you earn top junior rates while receiving paid, specialist manufacturer training across Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, CUPRA, and Škoda models.

Why Join?

  • High Earning Potential: £28,000 – £33,000 guaranteed basic salary paired with a transparent bonus structure pushing earnings to £40,000 OTE.
  • Work-Life Balance: Monday to Friday only—enjoy every single weekend completely off. Reclaim your Saturdays!
  • Unbeatable Holiday Allowance: 33 to 38 days total holiday (starts at 25 days paid leave + 8 bank holidays, rising to 38 days with service).
  • Fast-Track VAG Training: Fully funded pathways at the official manufacturer UK training center, taking you from Level 2/3 service tech to accredited VAG diagnostic specialist.
  • Health & Protection: Healthcare cash plan, discounted private health insurance, Life Assurance, and company pension.
  • Extra Benefits: Exclusive staff car schemes, flexible 1-hour lunch options, and group-wide retail discounts.

How You Earn Beyond Your Basic Salary

  • Time Saved Bonus: Earn extra on all invoiced hours exceeding standard efficiency baselines.
  • Weekly Performance Bonus: Extra £50/week bonus simply for invoicing all attended hours.
  • Car Sourcing Bonus: Pocket an extra £50 bonus for any customer vehicle purchase leads you source.
  • Overtime: Fully paid overtime options available to further boost your take-home pay.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Core Maintenance & Servicing: Carrying out routine servicing, multipoint safety inspections, brake maintenance, tire service, and fluid changes across modern VAG vehicles.
  • General Mechanical Repairs: Executing light repairs, suspension component replacements, and minor component fitting.
  • Diagnostic Development: Shadowing senior VAG technicians and learning official VAG diagnostic software systems to level up your fault-finding skills.
  • Quality Standards: Maintaining clean, right-first-time work standards to ensure customer safety and high satisfaction.

Requirements

  • 1 to 4 years of hands-on experience in a workshop environment (independent garage, fast-fit center, or dealership).
  • NVQ Level 2 or Level 3 / City & Guilds in Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair (or working towards completion).
  • Strong ambition, clean working habits, and a genuine eagerness to build a high-earning career with German brands.
  • A full UK driving licence.
