Car Mechanic / Brand Specialist - Reading

Hit a glass ceiling at your local fast-fit or independent garage?

You don't need years of prestige dealership experience to step up into a world-class environment. If you have the work ethic and the basic technical foundation, we have the factory-level training, cutting-edge facilities, and dedicated support to help you make the leap.

• Earning Potential: £30,000 - £40,000 per year (fully tailored to your current hands on experience and qualifications).
• Your Weekends Back: Monday to Friday, 08:00 - 17:30-absolutely no weekend shifts.
• Serious Time Off: Enhanced 33 days of annual leave (including bank holidays) so you can actually switch off and recharge.
• The Perks: Subsidised premium car schemes, high street retail discounts, gym membership savings, and a cycle to work scheme.
• The Environment: A spotlessly clean, modern workshop equipped with the latest brand specific diagnostic software, top tier tooling, and supplied PPE.

Who We Are

As one of the UK's leading automotive groups, we don't just fix cars-we build careers. We've built a workshop culture in Reading that rejects the old school, high pressure dealership stereotypes.
