Overview

Got a passion for all things motoring? You'll already have some experience of working with cars, either as a job or as a hobby, but more about that later. Your endless enthusiasm for all things car combined with your knack for customers is what will lead you to success in this role - you'll be delivering market leading standards of service, after all.

Working on customers' vehicles in our car park, you'll help us wow every customer. A practical problem solver who works quickly and efficiently, you already have confidence with all things motoring.

Ideally, you already have experience in a retail or automotive/mechanic environment, but if you have practical skills and experience of delivering fantastic customer service, we can help you with the rest.
