How to become a motorcycle mechanic

Most people start after an automotive school or move from a car workshop. On your CV also show your own motorcycles and the repairs you do yourself.

Add a category A driving licence. Service centres prefer mechanics who ride.

Tailoring your CV to the job offer

An authorised service centre looks for the brand and diagnostics, an independent workshop for many brands and older motorcycles, and an accessories shop for fitting and advice. Move to the top what the job ad is about. If you know electric motorcycles or the injection systems of older models, add this. Service centres more and more often look for mechanics who can handle both.
