Vehicle Technician & MOT Tester Recruitment
Specialist vehicle technician recruitment for garages, dealerships and motor groups. We find skilled mechanics, MOT testers and diagnostic technicians through proactive sourcing and headhunting.
Specialist recruitment support
Finding skilled vehicle technicians is one of the biggest challenges facing garages and motor groups today. Good technicians are rarely sitting on job boards waiting to apply — they are often employed and need to be approached directly.
That is where our proactive approach makes the difference. We headhunt, source and screen vehicle technicians, MOT testers and diagnostic specialists who match your workshop requirements, culture and salary expectations.
We are particularly active in the South West — recruiting vehicle technicians in Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and surrounding areas — while also supporting employers nationwide.
Whether you need one technician for a stable long-term role or multiple MOT testers for a growing motor group, we provide honest timelines, clear communication and a recruiter you can speak to directly.
