Customer relations are of utmost importance and providing value for money through quality servicing and repairing.
At CARtime our CAR Service Centres are never left without the resources they need to stay on top of the automotive industry and continue to provide excellent results for our customers.
We will be provided a wealth of materials for training and some of this training will be technical training. You’ll learn automotive system basics, common car issues, and what goes into remedying them. CARtime however, will not be training you to become a mechanic or technician. These roles will be filled by experienced professionals in your branch. Instead, this technical training will serve an important purpose: to clearly and honestly communicate with customers about their automotive issue and to know what to expect of your managers and staff.
