Simon,

There's a mobile mechanic (English) operating out of Limassol who I have met.

He's been in Cyprus for some years now and is not short of work.

I think with some initial promotion and a good size van you'll build up the client base easily via word of mouth.

That is if you're any good and charge reasonable rates:)

Best of luck.

yeah i dont think you're going to have a problem finding a job as a mechanic.

as for the salary... i wouldnt know. dont expect to earn as much as you did in england if you are going to be working for someone, but if you start up your own then its got potential.

with your experience you might even be able to find a job working in a dealership. i think they pay a good penny and the working enviroment is really good.

MOT testing is relatively new in cyprus, so i wouldnt be surprised if you had no trouble finding a job doing that

good luck

MOT in Cyprus? Now that is a good thing!
