Job Description

This independent service workshop in Pretoria West needs a qualified mechanic who can handle services, repairs and electrical faults. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll be based at an independent service workshop in Pretoria West. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

Quote extra work you find and pass it to the service advisor for approval
Update control unit software when the manufacturer releases a campaign
Diagnose engine, ABS and airbag faults with an OBD-II diagnostic scanner
Replace clutches, brake pads, discs, shocks and timing belts
Keep your bay, tools and special service tools clean and counted

You'll need

Motor mechanic trade test certificate (Red Seal) or occupational certificate at NQF 4
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
Code 08 licence so you can road test cars

Nice if you have

Automatic gearbox or DSG repair experience
Brand-specific training certificates from a manufacturer academy
Air-conditioning regas experience with SAQCC Gas registration

What you get

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

If you hit or beat your sold-hour target, say by how much. Workshop managers love that number.
Do not leave gaps unexplained. Say if you were working for yourself or doing mobile repairs.
