Further proof that “You can’t get better” than Kwik Fit.
The Day to Day
You’ll spend two years learning about tyre fitting, wheel balancing, and vehicle systems from steering and suspension to exhausts and air-conditioning. Most of the time, you’ll be learning the ropes at your autocentre. But you’ll also make regular visits to our training academies, where you’ll train with our experts and get to mix with other apprentices. If you need travel or accommodation for that, we’ll cover it. The programme is designed to give you the best possible start in your new career and ease any nerves you might have about being new or doing the wrong thing. With us, as long as you’re learning and improving, you're doing it right.
Who we’re looking for

You’ll also get employee benefits that can help you both in and outside of work, with discounts on everyday expenses like food and access to professional advice on life’s issues. Then there’s the tools and uniform we provide to help you to do a great job while staying comfortable and warm. We're able to offer great perks thanks to feedback from apprentices and employees.
