Autotech Recruit

Automotive aftermarket recruitment from Milton Keynes

Autotech Recruit is a UK recruitment agency focused on the automotive aftermarket. Its stated specialism is supplying experienced vehicle technicians, MOT testers, service advisors and parts advisors to workshops, either on a temporary or contract basis or in permanent positions. The company presents itself as the leading automotive recruitment agency in the UK and says it has been connecting skilled professionals with contract, temporary and permanent roles since 2010.

The agency operates from the Libra Building in Linford Wood Business Park, Milton Keynes, and is part of Autotech Group, a structure that also includes Autotech Training, Autotech Academy and Autotech Connect.

Roles covered and how candidates are placed

The job search on the site is organised around the roles the agency recruits for. Alongside MOT testers and vehicle technicians, the listings extend to workshop managers, parts and service advisors, paint and body work and other automotive positions. Candidates can approach the agency through two distinct routes:

• Contracting: the site explains the benefits of contracting in the automotive sector and describes practical support intended to help contractors build a career on that model.
• Permanent: a separate route covers permanent roles in the motor industry, presented as a search for the right match between candidate and employer.

The agency also runs free online information evenings for those curious about contracting, with dates published and registration available through the site. Candidates can register a CV directly, and employers have a parallel channel to search for staff.

Client base across the UK

On the employer side, Autotech Recruit states that it works with dealerships, national retail groups, independent garages and government organisations throughout the UK. The company frames its role as a partner in aftermarket talent, helping keep workshops staffed. Its regional structure is reflected in the team: contracts managers are assigned to defined areas, including the South West and Wales, the Midlands and North West, the East, the North including Scotland and Northern Ireland, London and the South East.

Candidate experiences highlighted by the agency

The site collects success stories that illustrate different uses of contracting. One account, attributed to Steve, awards the agency five stars for being straightforward, honest and approachable. Steven P describes how contracting gave him the flexibility to pursue his passions while managing limitations after a bike accident. Roberto combines contracting with a seasonal business and takes August off entirely, which the agency says it supported. These are individual accounts presented by the company rather than a general assessment of its service.
