Create My Car Mechanic CV

Main dealers and independent garages look for diagnostic skill, organised work and reliability. Your CV should show briefly which systems you specialise in and which vehicles you work on.

Write your specialism

Engine, transmission, brakes and suspension, auto electrics, air conditioning or hybrid and electric vehicles are different specialisms. Say which you handle independently.

Add equipment and qualifications

Diagnostic equipment, your vehicle technician qualification and manufacturer training are the first things employers check.

Show volume and quality

Say how many vehicles you work on a day and any results in reducing comebacks.
