Introduction

A Level 3 Light Vehicle apprenticeship combines full-time, paid employment with formal training. Typically lasting 36 months, it trains you to service, diagnose, and repair cars and vans. You will master advanced mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems, and learn how to use specialist diagnostic equipment to solve complex faults.

Wellsburys Garage started life 35 years ago as a petrol station established by the Wellsbury family. Adrian & Lisa Evans took over 15 years ago and have built up a reputation across a large area north of Birmingham for honesty and reliability. The garage offers a wide range of services, including MOTs, servicing and general repairs and maintenance for all makes and models, including hybrids.

MOT and basic service carried out at the same time.

As an apprentice mechanic's daily routine mixes hands‑on vehicle maintenance with workshop upkeep and shadowing senior technicians. Tasks scale from basic servicing and cleaning in the early months to assisting with advanced electrical diagnostics and MOT preparations as skills develop over the training period.

Completing a Level 3 Motor Vehicle Apprenticeship qualifies you as a fully‑fledged Vehicle Technician. Expected career progression moves from Core Technician roles into Diagnostics, Specialist Vehicles, or Workshop Management.
