level 3 vehicle repairing and maintence Review

Diagnosing and reifying vehicles on a daily basis, including service and maintenance, and more complex repairs including timing belts, clutchs.

Ever since I've been within Halfords, I've learned new skills every day, I've continued to improve and encouraged myself to do better every single job so the customer is getting the best possible service.

I very much enjoy getting stuck into a job, more harder the job the better, as I love the challenge of being able to correctly diagnose and then fix the vehicle the customer has brought to us.

It's very well organised, I know my aims and goals by the end of the program, and I'm constantly encourage that my work is spot on.

I get alot of support from my colleagues, encouraging me on my best of days and on my worst of days, whenever i need help or feedback they're there to give.

I gain a day session a week with the college I'm with, and whenever theres an issue they sort it out straight away, and If I feel weak in an area of vehicle repair, they will do a one on one and help me understand it better.

I feel like its helped alot to achieve what I want to achieve within halfords and being a mechanic in general.

There is a few activities including apprentice of the year, where I have been the last 2 years and going again this year, which would be the top 10 within Halfords, and it is a great chance to get, as you see other mechanics from different areas and different skills.

Yes

It is a great place to start off with, as you learn basics of the basics, with jobs flowing through quite nicely and with good techs it helps your skills skyrocket.

Get along with the people there, as they will be of great help, and not only that, be friendly to customers and take care of peoples vehicles as it is like a second home to most.
