Job Description

I’m looking for a mechanic who is able to help me with purchasing a van. Specifically to check for engine quality, structural damage, value for money, and other things that the average purchaser may miss. This will include joining me in visiting second hand dealerships or private sellers on relatively short notice, while also having the process documented on video.

This video will be posted on a YouTube channel with close to 300,000 subscribers. So it would be a great opportunity for someone who has a professional presence on social media and could benefit from the promotion. There is no minimum requirement on followers and it does not matter which platform you are on. However it’s worth noting that most of my active followers are on YouTube and Instagram.

By the end of the job, I’d have a van that I can proceed with converting into a camper in addition to a checklist/guide that will aim to help other prospective van purchasers. In addition to visiting dealerships with me, I will need your help producing this guide. You will need to provide the content and structuring of the guide, we will take charge of the design and layout. The guide will be under the ‘Matt Estlea’ brand in collaboration with [your name/company]. 

Please note: To increase the probability of someone being available on the day, I may open a few backup spots should someone be unable to make it. I will be sure to fully communicate if you are a backup option or not.

Requirements

• Be flexible to travel on relatively short notice (2-3 days incl. weekends)
