Overview

Monday–Friday | Rotating Saturday (Paid Overtime)

BIRDHALL LANE SERVICE STATION LTD is a well-established, family-run MOT and Repair Centre in Stockport with a strong local reputation built on honest work, quality repairs, and excellent customer service.

As a family business, we genuinely look after our staff. We run a professional, organised workshop with the right systems, people, and support in place. We believe good technicians deserve respect, fair pay, and a workplace where they can grow — not pressure or unrealistic targets.

We’re looking for an experienced MOT Tester / Vehicle Technician to join our friendly team. This is a full-time, on-site role, working Monday to Friday (8:00am–5:30pm), with rotating Saturdays paid at overtime rates.
