About this employer
Aston Keeper is an independent Aston Martin specialist, dedicated to the servicing, maintenance, diagnosis and repair of both classic and modern Aston Martins. Our work ranges from routine servicing and inspections through to complex mechanical repairs, engine work, diagnostics, upgrades and refurbishment.
What makes us different is our personal, pragmatic approach. We are a small team of genuine car enthusiasts who believe in understanding what each individual vehicle actually needs, rather than simply working through a checklist. We combine specialist knowledge, attention to detail and high standards of workmanship with honest advice and a strong focus on customer care.
Working exclusively with Aston Martins also allows us to develop a depth of knowledge and experience that would be difficult to achieve in a general workshop, while the variety of cars we see means no two days are quite the same.
After this apprenticeship
Your earnings can increase over time with an apprenticeship. Find out about potential future pay (opens in new tab).
There is a genuine opportunity for permanent employment following successful completion of the apprenticeship. We are looking to develop someone into a skilled Aston Martin specialist who can grow with the business, take on increasing technical responsibility and continue developing their knowledge and qualifications throughout their career.
