Experienced Tyre Technician

Join the team at A1 Bodmin Tyres & Autocare

A1 Bodmin Tyres & Autocare is a family-run, independent garage that has been looking after motorists in Bodmin and the surrounding area for many years.

We're looking for an experienced tyre technician to join our friendly team.

We take pride in the way we look after our customers and the standard of work we provide.

We're looking for someone who shares those values and wants to be part of a team where people are treated properly, work is done to a high standard and there's a good balance between work and home life.

This is more than simply fitting tyres. You'll be working directly with customers as well as carrying out a variety of workshop tasks, so good customer service, communication skills and a professional manner are essential.

The role
Your day-to-day work will include:
• Tyre fitting and puncture repairs
• Wheel balancing
• Four-wheel alignment
• Checking and servicing TPMS systems and valves
• Fitting and replacing batteries
• Carrying out general tyre-related checks and work
• Carrying out vehicle safety checks when required
• Speaking with customers and explaining work carried out in a friendly and professional manner
• Keeping your work area, workshop and yard clean, tidy and organised
• Working as part of the wider workshop team and helping wherever needed
• The work is physically demanding

You'll need to be comfortable working in a busy workshop where priorities can change during the day. We don't expect everything to always go to plan, but we do expect people to take things in their stride and get the job done properly.

What we're looking for

Previous experience in the tyre trade is essential.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has solid experience working in a tyre-fitting environment
• Is confident carrying out tyre fitting, balancing and puncture repairs
• Has experience of, or is willing to develop their skills in, four-wheel alignment
• Is comfortable working with TPMS systems
• Is capable of fitting batteries and carrying out other routine workshop tasks
• Takes genuine pride in their workmanship
• Has good attention to detail and doesn't cut corners
• Has good customer service and communication skills
• Is friendly, polite and professional when dealing with customers
• Understands that the way we treat customers is just as important as the work we carry out
• Is happy to help with keeping the workshop and yard clean and tidy
• Can work independently but is also a good team player
• Is reliable, trustworthy and takes responsibility for their work
• Has a positive attitude and is willing to learn and develop
• Holds a full driving licence
• The role is physically demanding and involves lifting and handling tyres and wheels, working on vehicles and being on your feet for much of the working day. You will therefore need to be physically capable of carrying out these duties safely and consistently.
We're not looking for someone who is only interested in fitting tyres as quickly as possible. Doing the job properly, looking after the customer and leaving the workplace clean and organised are all part of the job.

What we offer

• £32,000 basic salary per year for an experienced candidate
• Bonus scheme available
• Monday to Friday only – no weekend working
• Monday–Thursday: 8:00am–5:30pm
• Friday: 8:00am–5:00pm
• 28 days holiday per year
• Staff discounts on parts and tyres
• Heated workshops during the winter months
• A friendly, respectful working environment
• A supportive team where your contribution is valued
• A good work-life balance – we believe there is more to life than work
At A1, we believe in doing things properly – looking after our customers, supporting our team and taking pride in the work we do.

If you're an experienced tyre technician looking for a friendly place to work, Monday to Friday, with a good team around you, we'd like to hear from you.

🚗🔧 THINKING OF A CHANGE? THERE ARE WORSE PLACES TO WORK! 🌭😂

Here at A1 Bodmin Tyres & Autocare, we take our work seriously… but we don't take ourselves too seriously!

One of our little traditions is breakfast at work once a week — time permitting, of course. 🍳🥓🌭

And yes… that’s me in the kitchen doing the cooking. 👨‍🍳😂
I’m not claiming to be Gordon Ramsay, but apparently the staff are happy enough with the results!

Lewis clearly couldn’t wait for the photo before tucking into his sausage roll, while Andrew had already demolished his and was presumably considering whether a second breakfast could be justified. 😂

Now, before you think the job is actually a breakfast-eating competition…

We are currently looking for an experienced Tyre Fitter to join our team.

We’re looking for someone who:
🔧 Has experience in the tyre trade
🚗 Is confident fitting tyres and carrying out wheel alignment
🔋 Can fit batteries
📡 Has experience with TPMS
🛠️ Takes pride in their workmanship
🧹 Doesn’t mind keeping the workshop and yard clean and tidy
😊 Has a good attitude and enjoys working as part of a friendly team
📞 Understands that good customer service matters just as much as good mechanical work

We’re a busy, established local garage, but we’re also a friendly workplace where people are valued — and apparently, where the boss occasionally feeds you. 😆

If you're an experienced tyre fitter looking for a new challenge and think you'd fit in with our team, we'd love to hear from you.

📍 A1 Bodmin Tyres & Autocare
🕗 Monday–Friday — no weekends
💷 Competitive salary depending on experience

Come for the tyres. Stay for the sausages. 🌭😂

🚗 Is your ADAS warning light on? We can help. 🚗

Modern vehicles are fitted with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including cameras and radar sensors that control features such as:

✅ Emergency Braking
✅ Lane Keep Assist
✅ Adaptive Cruise Control
✅ Traffic Sign Recognition
✅ Blind Spot Monitoring

If you've noticed an ADAS warning light, your vehicle may no longer be able to rely on these important safety systems. This can happen after:

🔧 Replacing a windscreen
🔧 Wheel alignment or suspension repairs
🔧 Accident damage (even minor impacts)
🔧 Steering or suspension component replacement

⚠️ Ignoring an ADAS warning light could have serious consequences. Depending on the fault, your vehicle's safety systems may not operate correctly—or may be disabled altogether. This means features designed to help prevent collisions, keep you in your lane, or detect other road users may not work when you need them most. In some cases, the vehicle may also enter a reduced functionality mode, leaving you without the driver assistance features you have come to rely on.

At A1 Bodmin Tyres & Autocare, we don't just calibrate your vehicle—we diagnose the root cause of the problem. With our manufacturer-approved ADAS calibration procedures and advanced diagnostic expertise, we can identify faults, carry out the necessary repairs, and accurately calibrate your cameras and radar systems to ensure everything is working exactly as it should.

✔️ Correct diagnosis
✔️ Professional repairs
✔️ Precise ADAS calibration
✔️ Safety systems restored to manufacturer specification
✔️ Confidence that your vehicle is safe, reliable.

When you trust A1 Bodmin Tyres & Autocare, you're choosing a team with the equipment, training, and technical knowledge to repair and calibrate your vehicle correctly—not simply clear a warning light.

📞 Contact us today to book your ADAS diagnostic and calibration and keep your vehicle's safety systems working exactly as they were designed.

❄️ Is your car air-conditioning not blowing cold anymore? Don’t just “top it up” — get it checked properly at A1 Bodmin Tyres and Autocare 🚗🔧

❌ Low refrigerant levels

We don’t just add gas and hope for the best — we find the cause of the problem 🔍❄️

Keeping your air-conditioning system serviced helps:
😌 Keep you cool and comfortable
👀 Improve visibility with faster demisting

🚗 **Keep Your Vehicle Running at Its Best!** 🔧

Regular servicing isn’t just a recommendation — it’s essential for keeping your car or LCV safe, reliable, and performing exactly as it should. Whether you’re commuting daily or relying on your vehicle for work, staying on top of maintenance can make all the difference.

At our garage, we use only **high-quality parts and oils**, and where required, we can fit **genuine manufacturer parts** to meet your vehicle’s exact specifications. That means you get the right service, done properly — without paying main dealer prices.

✔️ **More convenient than the main dealer**
✔️ **Competitive pricing without compromising quality**
✔️ **Digital service records updated where applicable**
✔️ **MOT testing available**
✔️ **MOT reminders sent for next year**

💡 **What is a Digital Service Record?**
Many modern vehicles no longer use a stamped service book. Instead, their service history is stored electronically in a secure manufacturer database. We have the tools and access to update this record, ensuring your vehicle maintains a **complete and verifiable service history** — just like the main dealer.

🔍 **Why is servicing so important?**
Regular servicing helps identify small issues before they turn into costly repairs. Replacing worn components, refreshing oils, and checking key systems can **prevent unexpected breakdowns and expensive future bills**.

💰 **Protect Your Investment**
A well-maintained vehicle with a full service history — including digital records — can **hold its value much better** when it’s time to sell or trade in.

🛡️ **Maintain Your Warranty Without the Dealer**
Following the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule means you **do NOT have to return to the main dealer** to keep your warranty valid — as long as the correct parts, oils, and procedures are used (which we provide).

Don’t wait for a problem to appear — stay ahead of it.
📅 Book your service or MOT with us today and drive with confidence!

"Feeling a bit 'un-cool' lately? 🧊 We’re here to fix that!
Our AC service is officially the coolest thing in Bodmin.

While a working air conditioning system is a matter of comfort in a traditional car, it is mission-critical in an Electric Vehicle (EV) or Hybrid. In these vehicles, the AC system does much more than just cool the cabin; it is often the primary life-support system for the vehicle's most expensive component: the battery.

Here are the key benefits of a properly maintained AC system for EVs and Hybrids:

Heat is the number one enemy of lithium-ion batteries.

• A healthy AC system keeps the battery within its optimal operating temperature.
• Consistently running a battery too hot due to a failing AC system will accelerate chemical degradation, leading to a permanent loss of total driving range and a shorter overall lifespan for the vehicle.

An efficient, well-gassed AC system actually helps your range.

• When an AC system is low on gas, the compressor has to work much run longer to achieve the desired temperature.
• In an EV, the compressor is powered directly by the high-voltage battery. An overworked compressor drains the battery faster, noticeably reducing your miles per charge.

EV and Hybrid AC compressors are high-voltage electrical
components. They require specialized non-conductive (POE) oils.
• Regular servicing ensures the correct oil is used and that seals remain lubricated.
• A leak in an EV system isn't just a cooling issue; if moisture enters the system, it can cause an "isolation fault," which might prevent the car from starting entirely for safety reasons.

So if it’s just to stay cool when the weather warms or to keep the EV/Hybrid batteries from failing prematurely, book a recharge or let us diagnose what’s wrong. Call 01208 77492 to arrange an appointment
