Car Valeter – Wings Škoda Peterborough
Full-Time | Permanent
At Wings Škoda, we’re more than just a car dealership. We’re a family-run business that has proudly looked after customers in Peterborough for over 25 years. We believe people should feel trusted to do their job properly, take pride in their standards, and know that their contribution genuinely matters.
Presentation is a visible reflection of our business. Whether it’s a full retail valet before handover or a service wash after a workshop visit, the condition of that vehicle shapes how customers feel about us.
The role
This is a busy, hands-on Car Valeter position supporting both Sales and Aftersales.
You’ll be responsible for retail vehicle preparation, full car valeting, service washes for workshop customers, preparing part-exchanges for resale, maintaining forecourt standards, and moving vehicles between departments.
The workshop handles around 25–30 vehicles per day, alongside approximately 120 retail handovers per month. Some days involve detailed vehicle preparation. Other days are higher-volume service washes. The pace changes — the standards do not.
You won’t be tightly managed. You’ll be trusted to organise your day, prioritise sensibly, and take ownership of your area. If you enjoy practical work, visible results, and keeping things orderly and presentable, you’ll fit well here.
The valeting facilities are modern and purpose-built, with internal preparation bays and an external wash area. This role does involve working outdoors in all weather conditions.
Working pattern
Tuesday to Saturday
08:30–17:30 (Tuesday–Friday)

Overtime is available during peak periods.
This role will suit you if…
- You take genuine pride in vehicle presentation
- You’re reliable and consistent with attendance
- You stay organised without needing constant supervision
- You’re comfortable working outdoors
- You understand that forecourt standards reflect the whole business
- You prefer being trusted to deliver, rather than being micro-managed
This role is less likely to suit you if…
- You prefer a purely indoor environment
- You need close day-to-day direction to stay on track
- You’re uncomfortable with physical, hands-on work
- You’re looking for a low-responsibility role
What we’re looking for
- Strong work ethic and accountability
- Good organisation and self-motivation
- A team-focused mindset
- Attention to detail
- Confidence driving manual vehicles
Previous car valeting or vehicle preparation experience is welcome but not essential. Attitude and reliability matter more.
A full, clean UK manual driving licence is required. Due to insurance requirements, foreign licences cannot be accepted.
