Hours: Monday – Friday (08:00 – 17:30) + Minimal 1-in-3 Saturday mornings (Paid as extra income)

About Us

We are a highly respected, independently owned main dealership with over 100 years of heritage proudly serving motorists across Kent. Combining the backing, high-tech diagnostic tools, and standards of a franchised dealer with the warmth, agility, and culture of a family-run business, we offer the absolute best of both worlds. Management knows your name, and your hard work is genuinely noticed, valued, and well-rewarded without corporate bureaucracy or cold spreadsheets.

Why Join?

  • High Basic & Realistic Earnings: £32,000 – £42,000 guaranteed basic salary with performance productivity bonuses allowing top techs to comfortably clear £50,000+ OTE.
  • Independent Family Culture: Enjoy the resources of a premier franchise combined with the personal support, job security, and down-to-earth atmosphere of a family business.
  • Minimal Weekend Working: Standard Mon–Fri week (08:00 – 17:30) with only 1-in-3 Saturday mornings fully paid as extra overtime income.
  • Fully Funded Academy Pathways: Complete manufacturer academy training with clear pathways to reach Master Tech status, plus funded MOT Tester and EV/Hybrid Level 3/4 certifications.
  • Diverse Fleet Mix: Work across a clean mix of high-spec passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs), keeping your work varied and engaging.
  • Tool Insurance Scheme: Comprehensive tool insurance provided to protect your equipment investment.
  • Solid Group Perks: Generous staff and family discounts on vehicle purchases, servicing, MOTs, and parts, plus company pension scheme and full paid holiday allowance.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Diagnostics & Repairs: Using modern diagnostic equipment to fault-find and resolve complex mechanical and electrical issues on a diverse fleet of passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
  • EV & Hybrid Maintenance: Working on modern alternative-fuel vehicles, performing routine diagnostics, safety checks, and repairs on advanced Electric & Hybrid systems.
  • Core Servicing: Carrying out routine servicing, vehicle health checks, maintenance, and safety inspections to exceptional standards.
  • Quality Control: Completing repairs right the first time while maintaining a clean, safe, and pristine workshop environment.

Requirements

  • NVQ Level 3 / City & Guilds in Vehicle Maintenance and Repair (or equivalent time-served qualification).
  • Confident experience working on cars or LCVs (background in both is desirable, but technicians keen to learn both are encouraged to apply).
  • Open to gaining an MOT licence or leveling up EV/Hybrid credentials through our fully funded academy.
  • A full UK driving licence.
