Workshop Technician
Are you fed up with the pressure of working for a main dealer with the expectation that you can complete repairs in the "book time" even when the car is 5 years old and things are just rusty or snap?
Hoping you get allocated the "Bonus making jobs" this month as last month you got all the "Rubbish" jobs and had little bonus?
Or are you working for a Independent garage but always struggling, as you do not have the right tools to do the work or have access to the workshop data / main dealer diagnostic tools?
Maybe you have been promised training that just does not happen!
