Job Description

You'll service, diagnose and repair cars in a busy independent service workshop in Cape Town CBD. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

Location: Cape Town CBD, Western Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What you'll actually do

  • Quote extra work you find and pass it to the service advisor for approval
  • Carry out scheduled services to the manufacturer's checklist and interval
  • Replace clutches, brake pads, discs, shocks and timing belts
  • Keep your bay, tools and special service tools clean and counted
  • Write clear job card notes on what you found and what you fixed

You'll need

  • At least 3 years as a qualified mechanic in a dealership or workshop
  • Confident with diagnostic scan tools and wiring diagrams
  • Able to meet flat-rate or sold-hour targets
  • Neat with customer vehicles: seat covers, floor mats and no grease marks

Helpful, not essential

  • Automatic gearbox or DSG repair experience
  • High-voltage hybrid or EV safety training

What's in it for you

  • Staff discount on parts and services
  • Manufacturer training courses paid by the dealer
  • Tool allowance or tool insurance

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Cape Town CBD really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: trade test certificate, brand training certificates plus driver's licence.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.
