The role
Escape the rigid main dealer grind for a high-performing Sevenoaks independent where you can manage a workshop, graft hard, earn top money, and keep your weekends entirely to yourself.
About Us We are a premier, family-run independent specialist with over 300 5-star Google reviews. Operating across three divisions—a busy service centre, an MOT station, and a luxury prestige vehicle sales arm—our workshop is fully equipped with loads of high-end diagnostic equipment. Best of all, the owner is an incredibly nice chap who is fair, genuine, and looks after the team. Here, you are a valued leader of the crew with a "can-do" attitude, not just a number on a spreadsheet.

- Reclaim Your Weekends: Strictly Monday to Friday. No Saturdays, no Sundays, no exceptions.
- Top-Tier Kit: A clean, modern workshop packed with loads of high-end diagnostic equipment.
