Become a verified GRANT AUTO mechanic

We are looking for independent mechanics across Portugal to carry out pre-purchase car inspections. Work in your region, with payment guaranteed by GRANT AUTO.

Who we are looking for

  • Mechanics with at least 3 years of workshop or vehicle diagnostics experience.
  • Registered self-employed professionals or businesses able to issue invoices or receipts.
  • Professional liability insurance, or willingness to take out a policy.
  • Your own equipment: an OBD scanner that reads all modules, a paint thickness gauge, a torch; ideally a multimeter or battery tester (battery voltage also shows in the computer diagnostics). GRANT AUTO provides the tyre tread depth gauge.
  • A smartphone with a camera and mobile internet.
  • Independence: you must not work for the dealership whose car you inspect.

How it works

  1. Apply: complete the form below.
  2. Interview by phone or video, followed by checks of your business registration, insurance and equipment.
  3. First assignments through your personal link: receive each assignment by email or WhatsApp, follow the GRANT Check-Up checklist on your phone and send photos, videos and written and voice comments. GRANT AUTO's AI writes the report from your material, and the customer receives it within 24 hours.
  4. A GRANT AUTO mechanic: at first, customers are told that a GRANT AUTO mechanic will inspect the car. A public profile with your name and reviews will follow later, once there is enough history.

Payment

Inspection fees are agreed in your contract with GRANT AUTO. You never receive payment from the customer or seller. We will discuss the terms at your interview. Contact us at [email protected].
