MOT Tester/Technician

HiQ Tyres & Autocare | S & M Marshall Autocentre Ltd
Based mainly at our Halton branch, near Lancaster
Salary from £34,000 per year, depending on experience

Take pride in doing a proper job? We’d like to meet you.

We’re looking for a skilled MOT Tester / Vehicle Technician who cares about their work, pulls their weight and wants to be part of a team they can be proud of.

We’re an established, family-run independent garage business with sites in Halton and Lancaster, trading as HiQ Tyres & Autocare. We have ambitions to keep growing, and we want good people to grow with us.

Our reputation is built on looking after customers and getting the job right. That takes technical ability, attention to detail and people who take responsibility.

What you’ll be doing

Working mainly at our busy Halton branch, you’ll work in a growing team, alongside another MOT Tester / Vehicle Technician, sharing the testing and workshop workload. This gives both of you variety across MOTs, servicing, diagnosis and repairs.

Your work will include:

• MOT testing across a varied range of vehicles.
• Servicing, maintenance and mechanical repairs.
• Fault investigation and diagnosis, with clear, accurate recommendations.
• Accurate recording of work completed and any further work required.

You’ll also help maintain a safe, organised workshop and support your colleagues when they need a hand.

Who we’re looking for

You’ll need a current MOT tester qualification, sound technical skills and a full UK driving licence. A relevant vehicle maintenance qualification or equivalent proven experience is essential.

Just as importantly, we’re looking for someone who:

• Takes pride in their workmanship. You care about the details and check your work.
• Is reliable and hardworking. You turn up ready to contribute and help keep things moving.
• Works well with others. You communicate clearly, treat people with respect and support the team.
• Takes ownership. If something isn’t right, you speak up and help put it right.
• Wants to keep improving. You’re open to learning and developing your skills.

You don’t need to know everything. You do need to be honest about what you know, willing to ask for help and committed to doing the job properly.

What we offer

• Salary from £34,000 per year, depending on experience.
• 22 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays.
• Paid training to support your development.
• A generous staff discount scheme.
• Varied work within an established, ambitious independent business.
• A family-run environment where your contribution matters.

Monday to Friday, 08:30–17:30, with a one-hour unpaid lunch break.

Alternate Saturdays, 08:30–12:30.
