Are you the go-to technician in your current shop, the one they always rely on for the most difficult jobs, because no one else can do them? Then subsequently you get shafted with the worst jobs while others soak up the 'cruisey' tasks, whilst reaping the same rewards.

Are you tired of being overworked, rushed, under-appreciated, and stuck in a toxic workshop culture, constantly handed the rough end of the stick just because you're good at your job?

If you're ready to work somewhere that values skill, honesty, and integrity above all else, we are wanting to hear from you and you're waiting to be rewarded.

No longer should you have to pull the weight of other underperforming staff or non-competent hierarchy.

About Us

We're a specialist independent workshop focused on European performance vehicles: BMW, Audi, Porsche, VW, Mercedes and more. Our services range from performance upgrades to precise diagnostics and high-quality maintenance.

We're not a high-pressure, churn-and-burn type of shop. We don't believe in unrealistic bonus targets or rushed jobs.

We care about the quality of work, because that's what our clients come to us for.

We've built a reputation for doing things properly, and we stand by that, every time.

Who We're Looking For

An experienced European technician who is:

  • Capable of working unsupervised and delivering consistent, high-quality work to an efficient standard
  • Done with toxic shop culture and you're looking for a tight-knit, respectful team, and to be a valued and trusted member of the team
  • Genuinely passionate about European cars and the craftsmanship that goes into maintaining and upgrading them
  • A believer that integrity, honesty, and communication matter just as much as technical skill

Must-Haves:

  • Minimum 5 years of experience working with European vehicles
  • Experience working with all European vehicle brands we service including BMW, Audi, Porsche, VW, and Mercedes
  • Strong diagnostic and problem-solving skills
  • Familiarity with OEM and aftermarket tools/software
  • Solid mechanical knowledge and hands-on ability
  • Current trade qualifications
  • Certificate III Automotive qualification required
  • Valid driver's licence
  • Australian citizenship required for this position

Bonus If You Have:

  • Performance / motorsport experience
  • Experience with fabrication or motorsport background
  • High-level fault diagnosis capability
  • A personal interest in European car culture

What We Offer:

  • $65,000–$90,000 salary, based on your experience and value to the team
  • No toxic hierarchy, just good people doing quality work
  • A realistic workload with no unachievable bonus structures where the goal posts and expectations keep being moved
  • Jobs aren't rushed out the door, quality workmanship always comes first
  • Work with some of the best tools and vehicles in a clean, professional environment
  • Opportunities to grow into tuning, motorsport, or high-performance upgrades
  • A workshop culture based on respect, transparency, and pride in what we do

Ready for a Change?

If you're looking to leave behind the politics and pressure of your current role and join a team that respects your skills, send us your resume or give us a call for a confidential chat.

No, we won't tell your boss you don't want to put up with their BS anymore.

Let's talk about building something better, together.
