Job Description

Good with a scan tool and a torque wrench? This franchised passenger vehicle dealership in East London needs you in a bay. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

You'll be based at a franchised passenger vehicle dealership in East London. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What your day looks like

  • Keep your bay, tools and special service tools clean and counted
  • Update control unit software when the manufacturer releases a campaign
  • Carry out scheduled services to the manufacturer's checklist and interval
  • Carry out roadworthy pre-checks on lights, brakes and steering
  • Coach the apprentice on your bay through basic services

Must-haves

  • 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
  • Neat with customer vehicles: seat covers, floor mats and no grease marks
  • Confident with diagnostic scan tools and wiring diagrams
  • Code 08 licence so you can road test cars

What's in it for you

  • Productivity bonus on sold hours above target
  • Pay at or above the motor industry bargaining council rates
  • Staff discount on parts and services
  • Tool allowance or tool insurance

Applying, step by step

  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: trade test certificate plus driver's licence.

  • Attach manufacturer training certificates. They can move you up a technician grade and pay band.
