Testimonials from our current employees:

Coventry

Working for In n Out Autocentres is such a pleasure. The staff are all amazing from colleagues I work with to help from other branches and head office. From the day I started I felt welcomed and was made to feel like I was a member of the big In n Out Family and the training was impeccable nothing was cut short . Not only are they my work colleagues they are also my friends. Everyday brings me joy and I really enjoy coming to work daily.

After being in and out of the motor trade since I was 15, I never had the chance to settle. At In N Out, from the very first day I joined, things moved in the right direction with a great understanding of what is to be required from me and what the ethos of the business is. 

Since starting as a tech/ workshop controller, I have been able to fast track my career ten fold and it's only because of the opportunities given from the team at In N Out!

The working environment is amazing, the jobs that come in are different every day and that keeps the excitement alive!

Being a technician, is more then just spinning filters, it's about putting your own touch on each vehicle that comes into the workshop whilst also still achieving the highest standard that we all set ourselves but what the customer deserves as well!

I believe that In N Out is the best place to do that and I look forward for what is still yet to come!

Required Criteria

  • Full Driving Licence
