Job Description

Good with a scan tool and a torque wrench? This franchised passenger vehicle dealership in Brackenfell needs you in a bay. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in Brackenfell; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What your day looks like

  • Quote extra work you find and pass it to the service advisor for approval
  • Road test vehicles before and after repairs
  • Carry out roadworthy pre-checks on lights, brakes and steering
  • Coach the apprentice on your bay through basic services
  • Carry out scheduled services to the manufacturer's checklist and interval

You'll need

  • Able to meet flat-rate or sold-hour targets
  • Your own basic toolbox
  • 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

On offer

  • Productivity bonus on sold hours above target
  • Manufacturer training courses paid by the dealer
  • Staff discount on parts and services
  • Pay at or above the motor industry bargaining council rates

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): trade test certificate 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. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted
