Vehicle Mechanic.

Our client is a well-established motor dealership in South Dublin, selling new and used vehicles of all makes. As a main dealer for several manufacturers, they offer sales, servicing, parts, accident repair and recovery. Their fully equipped service department covers diagnostics, timing belts, exhausts and brakes. The workshop sees a wide mix of modern European cars, such as VW, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Skoda, alongside diesel pickups and light commercial vehicles. Our client is looking for an experienced mechanic with strong diesel engine skills and hands-on experience on modern European cars. You will diagnose and repair everything from routine faults to major engine work. That includes stripping, repairing and rebuilding engines in-house. You'll join a busy workshop that looks after customer vehicles, used stock and new franchise vehicles. This suits a technician who enjoys heavy mechanical work as much as diagnostics. Hours: This is a full-time role (minimum 39 hours per week).
