Job Description

This independent service workshop in Krugersdorp needs a qualified mechanic who can handle services, repairs and electrical faults. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is Krugersdorp-based, with most of your time spent at an independent service workshop. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What you'll actually do

  • Coach the apprentice on your bay through basic services
  • Do wheel alignments and balancing on the alignment bay
  • Quote extra work you find and pass it to the service advisor for approval
  • Diagnose engine, ABS and airbag faults with an OBD-II diagnostic scanner
  • Carry out scheduled services to the manufacturer's checklist and interval
  • Write clear job card notes on what you found and what you fixed

You'll need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Brand-specific training certificates from a manufacturer academy
  • Air-conditioning regas experience with SAQCC Gas registration

What you get

  • Staff discount on parts and services
  • Tool allowance or tool insurance
  • Productivity bonus on sold hours above target

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Krugersdorp really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): driver's licence plus certified copy of your ID.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.
