Our Story

TJP Auto started 8 years ago with one clear goal:

to change the way people view independent workshops.

We were tired of hearing the same stories — poor communication, hidden costs, rushed jobs, and customers left in the dark. So we built a business based on:

Honesty — no bull, just straight answers

Quality — work done properly, not cheaply

Communication — customers informed every step

Technology & training — staying ahead of the industry

Today, TJP Auto is known as a leader in advanced diagnostics, suspension and GVM upgrades, and high-quality mechanical repairs And fixing what others can not or will not fix. We back that quality with a market-leading 30 month 30,000km warranty, and we continue to invest in the latest tooling, equipment, and industry best-practice every year.

We're not just fixing cars —

we're rebuilding trust in the automotive trade.

And we want someone who's proud to be part of that.


About the Role

We're looking for a technician who wants to grow their craft — either:

A 3rd–4th year apprentice

OR a qualified technician wanting more than just service schedules

Someone who wants to:

  • Learn diagnostics and how to actually fix faults
  • Develop suspension, steering & general mechanical repair skills
  • Work in a place where quality matters more than speed

You'll be surrounded by people who take pride in helping each other get better.

Applicants must already have the right to work in Australia.

We are not accepting applications requiring sponsorship.


What You'll Be Doing
  • Services, brakes, steering & suspension repairs
  • Suspension upgrades, General mechanical repairs
  • Diagnostics and fault-finding with advanced equipment
  • A mix of jobs — not just repetitive dealership work

What You'll Bring
  • A solid mechanical foundation (Apprentice 3–4 year or Qualified)
  • A desire to learn, think and problem-solve
  • Respect for your team, the customer and the vehicle
  • A current driver's licence
  • A provisional licence as the minimum driver's licence requirement

What You Get
  • Above-award wages
  • All tools provided — focus on your skills, not your toolbox budget
  • Work with advanced equipment including ADAS & wheel alignment tech
  • Ongoing paid training and development
  • A genuine career pathway as we continue to grow

Most importantly — you'll be valued here.

We are building something special, and you will be a key part of that.
