Job Description

Good with a scan tool and a torque wrench? This fast-fit tyre and service centre in Randburg needs you in a bay. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The site is in Randburg; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Diagnose engine, ABS and airbag faults with an OBD-II diagnostic scanner
  • Quote extra work you find and pass it to the service advisor for approval
  • Coach the apprentice on your bay through basic services
  • Update control unit software when the manufacturer releases a campaign
  • Do wheel alignments and balancing on the alignment bay
  • Carry out roadworthy pre-checks on lights, brakes and steering

What you need

  • Motor mechanic trade test certificate (Red Seal) or occupational certificate at NQF 4
  • Neat with customer vehicles: seat covers, floor mats and no grease marks
  • Able to meet flat-rate or sold-hour targets
  • At least 3 years as a qualified mechanic in a dealership or workshop
  • Code 08 licence so you can road test cars
  • Your own basic toolbox

Helpful, not essential

  • High-voltage hybrid or EV safety training
  • Brand-specific training certificates from a manufacturer academy

What you get

  • Pay at or above the motor industry bargaining council rates
  • Productivity bonus on sold hours above target
  • Manufacturer training courses paid by the dealer
  • Tool allowance or tool insurance

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: brand training certificates, trade test certificate plus driver's licence.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Randburg.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

  • If you hit or beat your sold-hour target, say by how much. Workshop managers love that number.
  • Put your trade test date and the car brands you know best at the top of your CV.
