Main Dealer Wages. Without the Main Dealer Pressure.

Are you an experienced Vehicle Technician who's had enough of unrealistic productivity targets, constant pressure and being treated like just another number?

At Skiddaw MOT & Service, we're doing things differently.

We're an ambitious, up-and-coming independent garage in Carlisle, building a reputation for quality workmanship, excellent customer service and looking after our staff.

We believe that good technicians deserve good money, a positive working environment and the freedom to do their jobs properly — without someone constantly looking over their shoulder with a stopwatch.

We're offering main dealer-level wages without the main dealer working environment.

What We're Offering

• Minimum £40,000 annual salary — higher salaries available for the right candidate.
• Bonus opportunities on top of your basic salary.
• No unrealistic productivity targets or constant pressure to hit efficiency figures.
• A friendly, relaxed and supportive working environment.
• A modern, well-equipped workshop.
• The opportunity to become a key member of a growing business.
• A workplace where your skills, experience and opinions are genuinely valued.
• Long-term career opportunities as the business continues to expand.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for a skilled, experienced and fully trained Vehicle Technician who takes pride in their work.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Completed a recognised apprenticeship or equivalent training and be a fully qualified, time-served mechanic.
• Strong experience working on a wide variety of vehicle makes and models.
• Excellent mechanical fault-finding and diagnostic abilities.
• Experience with servicing, repairs, brakes, suspension, clutches, timing belts and general mechanical work.
• The confidence to work independently and diagnose faults accurately.
• A positive attitude and a genuine pride in producing quality work.
• A full UK driving licence.

Experience working on light commercial vehicles would be an advantage, but isn't essential.

Why Join Skiddaw MOT & Service?

We're not a large dealership group with layers of management, endless paperwork and targets that seem to increase every month.

We're an independent business that understands the value of a good mechanic.

We want technicians who enjoy fixing vehicles, not technicians who spend their day worrying about productivity percentages.

We're prepared to pay very competitive wages to attract the right people, and as our business grows, we want our team to grow with us.

If you're an experienced technician who wants to earn good money, enjoy coming to work and be treated with respect, we'd love to hear from you.
