I was responsible for greeting customers upon arrival to the garage and discussing their needs and providing them with prices and quotes and then carrying out the necessary work to the vehicles. This included: changing the tyres, exhausts, batteries, breaks and other jobs that needed carrying out on the vehicle.

Within my role, I was also responsible for delivering tyres and exhausts to other companies and trades. Along with this, I was also responsible for cashing up the tills and taking on more responsibility as Assistant Manager at the garage, which gave me the opportunity to do re-ordering for the whole garage, responsibility for overseeing the team, ensuring that the team worked towards the targets that were set. I also was responsible for training up new starters when they joined the team.
